- Become aware of the importance of developing the three types of competence for contact situations with the Japanese: a) Socio-cultural competence, b) Sociolinguistic competence, c) (Pure) linguistic competence

- Become well-acquainted with one model of Japanese politeness (Kindaichi Model) with empirical examples
- Become aware of the contemporary issues related to taiguu hyoogen and taiguu koodoo in Japanese
- Be able to use basic sets of informal and formal linguistic expressions of politeness (keigo) for appropriate situations, and become able to use basic sets of management expressions to manage (correct) situations when and if they fear the situation may not be progressing smoothly
