Nihongo (Japanese
language) Web is an interactive, online Japanese language
program from The University of Alabama. Nihongo Web is available for
high school and/or college credit, or for those who just want to learn
Japanese on their own through Independent Study. Live
tutoring is available except summer term (June 1- Aug 24). High school students
may enroll when convenient for their school schedules, and take 1 school year or block to complete a level, and college
credit students must finish within the term enrolled (Fall or Spring
only). We offer Japanese 1, 2,
and 3, equivalent to 3 years of high school or 3 semesters of college
Japanese. College credit eligible students can get up to 11 credit hours total for the three
semesters (JA 101 and JA 102 are 4 credits each, and JA 201 is 3
credits). Your transcript (college credit only) will be available from The University of
Alabama Office
of the Registrar. See the
Academic Outreach link for more about enrolling for college credit,
high school, or dual credit.
Our online language courses are a
hybrid of private tutoring
and self study of Web-based materials, textbook, workbook
and live interaction with peers, Japanese tutors, and the instructor
via web conference.
Most of our successful learners are studying on their own, without
any classroom involved. All that is needed is a good internet connection,
a personal email address and an instant messenger (for live
tutoring) with Voice Chat or a web camera.
To
receive high school or college credit in the courses, you need to
contact a local exam proctor (e.g., a teacher or administrator at your
school or college who agrees to follow our procedures). The proctor
does NOT need to know ANY Japanese, and all that is required is that
he or she has an email account that can receive, open, and print PDF
files. The proctor will mail, scan or fax tests back to us for grading.
