"Marugoto'' is a textbook that aims to help people understand each other while actually communicating in Japanese. Each topic depicts a situation where people from diverse cultural backgrounds interact in Japanese, and there are hints for understanding different cultures in various places such as the content of the conversations, photographs, and illustrations. It also emphasizes the role of audio input in language learning, and includes many classroom activities that involve listening to natural conversations. The goals for each lesson are set in the form of can-dos such as "What can you do using Japanese and how?'' Intermediate 2 (B1) covers familiar topics, including the main points and their background. We aim to reach a level where you can clearly understand and express your opinions and ideas in a concrete manner.

?gRather than explaining detailed grammar in words, we have created an active class where students learn through direct experience.?h
The ?gMarugoto?h series is for those who have already acquired a certain level of language knowledge. is very useful for establishing basic knowledge and promoting its development. Rather than explaining detailed grammar in words, we provide active lessons that allow students to gain experience through direct experience. This is an easy-to-approach series that includes topics and content for students who aim to improve their reading comprehension skills, especially at intermediate level and above, while acquiring listening comprehension and conversation skills as quickly as possible and improving those skills inductively or deductively.

?gYou can pick up the points of grammar and differences in meaning and nuance that teachers might otherwise miss.?h
Academic (teacher side) ) From the point of view, I feel that the best thing is that the textbook has only minimal grammar explanations. In "Marugoto,'' students acquire a sense of "in what situation, what kind of feeling, and what message should each grammar be used to convey?'' through topics, while actually imagining and experiencing the situation. You can continue to do so. Teachers can also convey the sense and logic of grammatical structures more flexibly according to the level, experience, and cultural background of the learners. Instead, teachers are required to have the ability to clearly and logically convey the knowledge they have accumulated and their feelings as native speakers, but the conversations and exercises in the Marugoto textbook are extremely important. The questions are very well thought out, allowing you to pick up on grammar points and differences in meaning and nuance that teachers might otherwise miss.
Another good thing about Marugoto is that it makes it easy for teachers to adjust the amount of input and output when there are students of various levels in the class. It is designed to be easy for teachers to devise so that they can communicate as much as possible with Japanese people on the topic according to their level.
