读者们每个月可至西班牙语与葡萄牙语网页寻找四个新的上线课程。
3. 深度探究：日本语言课程系列
---------------------------------------------------------------
每月新闻组将为订阅者提供一门特定课程的深入指导。本月，我们将深入研究 课程21F.501: 日语入门 I, , 课程21F.502: 日语入门 II, and , 课程 21F.503:中级日语 I. 。这三门课程来自 MIT外国语言和文学研究。这些课程由Eleanor H. Jorden和Mari Noda主持讲授，参用印刷教材日语：口语 1
课程21F.501: 日语入门 I 包括了日语：口语 1的第1-6课，涉及获取会谈、阅读和写作的基本技巧。这一部分强调积极主动的日语学习，而不是被动的知识。目标不仅仅是简单地学习语法和词汇，而是获取准确、恰当、自发应用日语的能力。在学习资料 部分，学生学习 平假名 和 片假名（日本语的音标符号），然后是大约50 个汉字 。在考试部分，麻省理工学院的Yoshimi Nagaya， Ayumi Nagatomi，Ikue Shingu教授提供各种供复习的材料，针对每一次测试和考试，包括最后考试的背景信息。
Nagatomi and Nagaya教授在 课程21F.502: 日语入门 II继续了这些研究。课程?调沟通技能的发展（例如，你在上下文关系中实际使用日语的能力）。学期结束时，选修本门课程的麻省理工学院学生要和日本人进行日常会话。利用 视觉成像设备，本课程?调了积极参与学习。课程提供了第7-11课的PDF格式的教材。
本课程系列在 课程21F.503:中级日语 I达到高潮，提供获取会谈、阅读和写作的技巧。课程的目标不仅仅是语法和词汇，而是基于课程I 和 II获得的基本能力，提高熟练、准确、恰当使用日语的能力。本课程由麻省理工学院Nagatomi, Nagaya, 和 Miyuki Hatano-Cohen三位教授讲授，学生们将学习大约 80 个 汉字。
使用者如果想了解更多日语在麻省理工学院的讲授信息，我们鼓励大家访问麻省理工学院日本项目。该项目已经实施19年，包括三个领域：教育、研究和推广。作?关于日本和亚洲最大的研究中心，项目把相关的公司、政府组织和学术机构集中到一起，分享信息，形成交互网络，促进和日本科学、技术和商业团体的了解和沟通。通过项目和培训，语言，实习期，技术和?品及服务，麻省理工学院日本项目提供了丰富的关于日本和亚洲的风土人情信息。
4. 一个常问的问题
----------------------------------------------------------------
问：?什?麻省理工开放式课程网站上的课程资料的呈现的内容的宽度和深度有很大的变化？
答：每一门麻省理工开放式课程课程网站是由参与的教学工作者和MIT OCW人员合作分别开发的。这会涉及到不同因素，如教师课程资料数字格式的资料多寡，或是在兼顾成本和效率情?下的准备情?，以及知识?权和版权的限制。麻省理工开放式课程的教师和员工只能发布那些他们认?合适全世界范围内自由获得的课程资源。

2. Universia Offers New Course Translations
---------------------------------------------------------------
Through a partnership with the Web portal Universia.net, we are pleased to offer users 32 of our courses translated into Spanish and Portuguese. This partnership enables MIT OCW to expand its reach to non-English speaking people in countries such as Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and Peru.
Universia was founded in Madrid, Spain, with the support of Grupo Santander and the commitment of 31 universities, the Spanish Principals Conference, and the Higher Council for Scientific Research. It is currently active in 10 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, España, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico and Venezuela), and includes 724 member universities. It reaches 10 million university and high school students, alumni, teachers and administrators around the world. Universia.net was created to provide new channels for information related to universities, to support the development of the application of new technologies in education and to encourage educational and technological innovation and the emergence of new platforms of communication within the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking university communities.
Four new courses were recently published in Spanish and Portuguese by Universia, including:
In Spanish
In Brazilian (Portuguese)
Each month, look for an additional four translations of MIT OCW courses into both languages on Universia's Spanish and Portuguese language sites.
3. Digging Deeper: Japanese Language Course Series
---------------------------------------------------------------
Each month, this newsletter offers subscribers an in-depth guide to one particular subject. This month, our featured course is actually a series of courses: Course 21F.501: Beginning Japanese I, Course 21F.502: Beginning Japanese II, and Course 21F.503: Intermediate Japanese I. These three courses come from MIT's Foreign Languages and Literature Section. Taken together, these three courses are taught from the textbook, Japanese: The Spoken Language, Part 1, by Eleanor H. Jorden with Mari Noda.
21F.501: Beginning Japanese I covers Lessons 1 through 6 from Japanese: The Spoken Language, providing opportunities to acquire basic skills for conversation, reading and writing. The program emphasizes ACTIVE command of Japanese, not passive knowledge. The goal is not simply to study the grammar and vocabulary, but to acquire the ability to use Japanese accurately and appropriately with increasing spontaneity. In the Study Materials section of this course, students learn Hiragana and Katakana (the Japanese phonetic symbols), then approximately 50 Kanji (Sino-Japanese characters). MIT Professors Yoshimi Nagaya, Ayumi Nagatomi, and Ikue Shingu also offer a wide variety of review materials for each of the quizzes and exam, as well as background information about the final exam, under the Exams section.
Professors Nagatomi and Nagaya continue the study of Japanese: The Spoken Language in Course 21F.502: Beginning Japanese II. This course emphasizes the development of communicative skills (i.e., your actual use of Japanese in contexts). By the end of the semester, MIT students enrolled in this course are expected to carry on a daily conversation with Japanese people. Making use of photographic visual aids, this course will stress active command of Japanese, not passive knowledge. Lessons 7 through 11 of the textbook are available in PDF format.
The course series winds up with 21F.503: Intermediate Japanese I, offering opportunities to acquire skills for conversation, reading, and writing. The goal is not simply to study the grammar and vocabulary, but to improve the ability to use Japanese accurately and appropriately with fluency, building on the basic skills gained in Japanese I and II. As taught by MIT Professors Nagatomi, Nagaya, and Miyuki Hatano-Cohen, students learn approximately 80 Kanji characters in this course.
Users interested in discovering more about how the Japanese language is taught at MIT are encouraged to visit the MIT Japan Program, now in its 19th year, which offers programs in three areas: education, research and outreach. The largest center of applied research on Japan and Asia, the program brings together corporations, government organizations and academics to share research and information, and to form networks to enhance understand and effectiveness with the Japanese science, technology and business communities. Through programs and training, language, internships, technology and products and services, the MIT Japan Program presents a comprehensive resource of personnel and information on Japan and Asia.
4. A Frequently Asked Question
----------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION: Why is there such variation in the breadth and depth of content presented on individual MIT OCW course Web sites?
ANSWER: Each MIT OCW course Web site is developed individually with the participating faculty and instructors. It includes as much of the MIT faculty member's course materials as is available in a digital format, or can be cost-effectively prepared; and is free of Intellectual Property and copyright restrictions. MIT faculty and instructors publish only as much content as they are comfortable having on a Web site that is freely accessible worldwide.
