Welcome

Welcome to the “Enhancing Business Japanese Pedagogy” project at San Francisco State University (SF State). In a world where all economic transactions have been fully globalized, we consistently need to promote internationalism for the Nation’s not only current but also future interest. More specifically, as today’s society increasingly involves global interdependency, the need for increased cross-cultural understanding becomes imperative. In particular, there are needs to enhance the international business education and international competitiveness in the northern California region. This is a report of an on-going curricular project at SF State. Students are offered numerous opportunities for listening and speaking as well as reading and writing in the target language (i.e., Japanese) for use either in the near or distant future. This web site shows course materials that have been developed for use in international business.
