About Communication

What does communication mean in relation to this podcast project?



Technical Aspects:



Clear speech: Avoid mumbling. Speak with articulation and adequate volume. Keep the speech formal, not too many colloquialisms, etc.

Video Editing: Reasonable body language. Camera focused on relevant places. Subtitles.





Other Aspects:

 Relevance: Does this project convey a message? What is our audience and how will they find the podcast helpful?

Language: Is the grammar accurate? Is it simple enough to be understood by our classmates, while still challenging them?

Goal: Do we accomplish that which we set out to do: expose Japanese cultural establishments throughout NYC that may be unknown to our audience?





What can we expect to learn from this project?



This project should facilitate an organic comprehension of language as it pertains to the above mentioned subject matter. After completion, we should expect to have a more fluid usage of spoken Japanese. Since classroom and homework exercises tend to focus on written comprehension, this project will help to fill a potential gap in our education: the spoken Japanese language.


In addition to the linguistic benefits, the exposure to New York's Japanese culture will increase our overall knowledge of the subject, giving a better rounded education of all things Japanese.
