Reflective Narrative
This course contributed to the fulfillment of MLO 1 (Language & Communication) and MLO 2 (Culture), as it set the groundwork for three modes of communication: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. As a transfer student to CSUMB, this course built on Japanese instruction from High School and Community College and improved it to at least an Intermediate Low level according to the ACTFL guidelines. For each chapter we made a presentation, using vocabulary and important grammar points learned to create a fun theme. One of the first and most memorable presentations was creating a themed gym and flyer to advertise for in Japanese. Looking back on my work now, the script and powerpoint could be greatly improved. The coursework, I realized, was mimicking a business workflow: pre-planning, presentation, and final product to show clients. It was a modest start to my upper division work as a Japanese Major; however, I continued improving my presentational skills, which are vital to the workplace, in later classes.
