Japanese Language and Literature at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program that develops students’ proficiency in Japanese language skills — including listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation — while also immersing them in the literary, cultural, and social traditions of Japan. The curriculum combines intensive language training with courses in Japanese linguistics, classical and modern Japanese literature, cultural studies, and cross-cultural communication, enabling students to interpret texts, understand cultural contexts, and communicate effectively in diverse settings. Through a mix of language practice, literary analysis, and cultural exploration, students build strong communication, analytical, and intercultural competencies. Graduates are prepared for careers in education, translation and interpretation, international business, media and publishing, tourism, and cultural exchange, and are well-positioned for advanced study in linguistics, literature, or East Asian studies.
