However, the language level of this textbook is controlled so that even late beginner and early intermediate learners can learn about culture, history, society, etc. It is very important to focus on content from the early stages of language learning in order to reach the upper intermediate and advanced levels, which require more advanced language processing. 4.

If students spend time looking up the meanings and readings of unknown words and kanji, it becomes difficult for them to concentrate on the most important task: understanding the content of the reading material.

Learners can deepen their understanding of grammar while progressing with reading comprehension. 6.You can practice not only input (reading and listening) but also output (speaking and writing). In addition to reading comprehension practice, this textbook provides conversation and writing practice based on the content of the reading material. You can improve your Japanese language skills comprehensively with an emphasis on content relevance. 7. Activities are provided that allow learners to actually experience pop culture. One of the most important by-products of language learning is cultural understanding. And the best way to understand a culture is to experience it. This textbook includes activities that lead students to a deeper understanding of culture through a variety of experiential learning, such as learning how to draw manga characters, sketching ukiyo-e prints, and learning famous songs and dances. Through actual experiences, you can deepen your understanding of Japanese pop culture.
