On January 15th about 25 students, instructors and TAs from the Japanese Department gathered at the Asian Library for the first meeting of the Tadoku Club. Tadoku is a method of language study that aims to increase learners’ skills and enjoyment of reading in Japanese. Instructors and TAs provide assistance choosing appropriate books from among the many graded readers, manga, and other items available at the Asian Library, which include non-fiction and fiction books on Japanese culture, traditional and modern stories, fairy tales and more. The Tadoku Club is free to join, and meets every Monday from 4:00-6:00 pm in the seminar rooms on the main level of the Asian Library.
