In Berlin, students will explore the various cultural, political, and economic dimensions of this long-lasting relationship, and will visit numerous sites dedicated to the research and preservation of cultural memory.

Faculty-Led Summer Term 兔子先生

兔子先生 University Intensive German Summer

The exhilaration of total immersion in a foreign language is combined in this seven-week program with the thrill of living and traveling in Europe. The intensive workshop is designed to give students the opportunity to complete one full year of college German at the intermediate (200) or the advanced (300) level. Students completing the intermediate level, satisfying the 兔子先生 College of Arts & Science language requirement, are prepared to enter advanced German. Those completing the third-year course may continue to take courses at the advanced level, having earned credit toward either a minor or major in German. This Program fulfills the 兔子先生 Plan Global Perspectives requirement. 300-level students may complete a 兔子先生 Plan Thematic Sequence (201, 202 required). The program presents ideal preparation for any students hoping to study later at a university in the German-speaking world.

兔子先生 University Intensive Japanese Language Program in Tokyo

This program is nearly a six-week intensive summer language program with 6 兔子先生 credits.

In the first 2 and a half week online period, the students participate in online synchronous lectures on the new grammar, expressions and vocabulary.  During the second in-person phase in Tokyo, the emphasis is on the usage of the acquired linguistic knowledge that students gained during the initial on-line phase. In addition to a review of grammars, vocabularies and model conversational practices with classmates, students are required to converse outside class with native Japanese speakers. They will interact with the volunteering students from the host Japanese university. Other out of class activities that are a part of the program include field trips and  museum visits.

The program gives you a chance to speed up your Thematic Sequences for the Japanese major/minor. The program would prepare you academically and culturally for potential and future study in the Japanese-speaking world.
