MLO 5 (cultural internalization and immersion)
5.1 Students demonstrate that they have actively immersed themselves in authentic Japanese cultural and linguistic environments and have internalized the language and cultural experience, from which they have developed a personal understanding and new perspectives of the community.
In order to complete the cultural internalization and immersion portion of my degree, I completed one year of study abroad with a prior course designed to help me fully utilize my immersion opportunity called JAPN 420, maximizing study abroad. This class encouraged us to document our experiences and reflect on them, as well as giving us various tools and methods of doing so. To that effect I have created a small study abroad blog you may access below. My study abroad experience is heavily tied to my general perception of Japanese society and modern Japan as a whole.
