|
| 1. Korean I: This course acts as an introductory course to the Korean language and teaches the rudiments of the writing system (Hangul) and pronunciation. Following their first semester of study, the students are expected to keep a diary in Hangul.
|
| 2. Korean II: By contrast with Korean I in which the rudiments of the language (its writing system, pronunciation and grammar) are studied, this course emphasizes reading and speaking via the use of a genuine textbook usually assigned to Korean school-age students.
|
| 3. Korean III: This more advanced course similarly emphasizes reading from genuine sources. Through the study of newspapers, the students' vocabulary, general knowledge and powers of expression regarding real-world issues are enhanced.
|
| 4. Japanese I: This course is for foreign students studying Japanese language at a post-beginner (intermediate) level. Where necessary, Chinese character (kanji) drills similar to those used in Japanese elementary schools are applied, and a variety of reading materials (such as folk tales) are studied in order to develop language competence.

Professor Nishioka is engaged in research on the classical Korean novel and masterpiece of its genre, Chunyang-jeon. He is also conducting research into how, from a historical perspective, classical Korean literature has been received in Japan.
