Modular facultative lecture:Introduction to ideographic writing 3200-L1-MPF-WPI
The course covers the principles of writing kanji ideograms, including the correct order of writing, identification of key components and analysis of complex ideographs.
Studying mainly involves practical exercises in memorising ideograms and their components in order to acquire active graphemic competence.
The correct reading of ideograms as well as the rules of selecting so-called okurigana for each character are also explained in the form of practical exercises.
A significant part of the study depends on the independent work of the student although some tasks and exercises are selected by the teacher.
