The objective of this project is to develop new teaching materials for Business Japanese classes, specifically, for the series of Japanese for Professions classes (JFP) which is currently offered at the University of Pennsylvania. The new materials employ the case method, which is frequently used in the business schools, but have just started to be adopted in business language classes. The project will include preparations of the materials, i.e., research of companies and situations and create cases which will become the foundation of teaching language materials.
