Description: |
This reader for advanced beginning students of Japanese contains 12 short illustrated essays in Japanese describing the cultural practices associated with each month of the year. Each essay is followed by vocabulary-building tools and additional information in English. |
| Editorial Board Review: |
The book serves the dual purpose of increasing reading capacity in Japanese as well as learning about the traditional daily culture of Japan. Teachers of Japanese language can use the textbook with beginning students who have reached a basic reading level, to give extra practice and to provide a basis for discussion of cultural practices. The extensive illustrations, both drawings and photographs, are an excellent classroom resource. |
