Japanese: Research Proposal

Education facts

Code: GJP37V

The course gives an introduction to various examples of basic research methods that are commonly used in research about Japanese language, culture and literature. Based on these examples, students choose a certain area for their own research project and collect previous research of relevance to this. They present these in the form of an annotated bibliography and academic reviews. The course concludes with the writing of a research proposal of about 2000-3000 words for their project. They defend their proposal at the final seminar.
