Students will write a research paper of 3000-6000 words depending upon the amount of credit being sought. By studying this subject students will acquire first-hand experience of how to research the workplace in a Japanese organisation. Students will also put their Japanese language into actual use through interviewing or coming into contact with staff members at the workplace as well as through the process of analysing written documents. Students will be given a supervisor to guide them through their work.
