Japanese Teaching Materials for Beginners and Intermediate Learners: Reading Japanese Culture

Reading materials from the beginner level that focus on interesting content and quality of text. The accompanying CD contains audio of the text being read aloud. It comes with separate vocabulary lists for English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese, so it can be used not only as class materials but also for self-study.

The third book in the series, ``Japanese Language Teaching Materials for Beginners and Intermediate Learners: Reading Japanese Culture,'' includes Haruki Murakami, Kuniko Mukoda, Kaori Ekuni, Kenzaburo Oe, and others. We have selected topics sufficient to arouse the intellectual curiosity of students from among the works of Japan's leading authors. From the beginner level, you will be exposed to high-quality texts and deepen your understanding of Japanese culture and circumstances.

In addition, this book consists of 8 chapters, and each chapter covers the main grammar points for beginners (noun-centered, tense, aspect, sentence-final expression, hope/desire, do/become, state, Onomatopoeia) has been devised so that you can review them (see table of contents). By reading the main text and working on the "NOTE" at the end of the chapter, you can learn about basic grammar items. This helps students realize things like, ``Oh, that's what I meant,'' and ``This is how it's being used,'' which helps them gain a deeper understanding.

Please pick up this book so that your students can get a feel for the Japanese situation and culture, and realize how interesting Japanese grammar is.
