The Course introduces students to functions and notions such as:
- To be able to do reported speech
- To use a variety of conditionals

- To express the feeling of regret

By the end of the Course students will be able to: Listening/Speaking: Understand Japanese in a variety of both predictable and unpredictable linguistic situations. Express themselves on a variety of topics with a fair amount of detail. Reading: Understand the gist of longer written Japanese, where visual information is not necessarily available and where the text relies on language structure and lexical refinement to convey specific messages. Writing: Prepare short informal presentations to a familiar audience, using the appropriate register and structure to achieve communication.
At the Intermediate 1 Level the main aims are:
- To develop further a good understanding and appreciation of the salient linguistic features;
- To establish the learner as a confident language user in a range of everyday situations;
- To increase the learner knowledge of the cultural background of Japan within the context of language teaching.
