Students who are enrolled in Japanese 3B or Japanese 100BĮach contestant will speak a topic of their choice, and the time limit of their speech is seven minutes.

Former/future language students who are interested in participating are welcomed and will be placed into the appropriate category by the oral interview. The following table indicates the basic guidelines. In principle, we will invite participants from students who are enrolled in a Japanese course at UCI. This project will bring community awareness to the Japanese Program at UCI and its ability to act as a resource to further Japanese language and culture studies throughout Orange County.

Students will be exposed to the surrounding Japanese community, helping to build bonds among UCI and the community and establishing the campus as a resource for the development of Japanese language instruction. With students moving onto graduate programs in Japanese, internships at Japanese corporations, teaching ESL in Japan, or volunteering to help those affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, students will serve as bridges between Japan and the United States.Ģ. It is our hope that students will be motivated to further pursue their learning of the Japanese language and culture through this project. The Speech Contest provides Japanese language students the opportunity to think critically and express their thoughts clearly in public. Location: Humanities Gateway (HG) 1030 ġ.
