- Series Description
- Series Key Features
- The Warm-Up section encourages you to start thinking about the topic and express your thoughts. It’s also a good chance to get to know your partner(s), so don’t simply answer the questions. Give your partner(s) more information and, if you have time, ask them more questions on the topic.
- The Vocabulary section introduces the keywords that you’ll need when you practice with your partner(s). Why not highlight the words that you already know and can use. Then, you can focus on the words that are new to you (and highlight them when you’re confident that you know and can use them).
- The Listening section offers a chance to hear the language used in context. It’s not designed to “test” you, so please access the audio and listen to it as many times as you can before class. You will answer the listening comprehension questions about the Conversation.
- The Conversation section offers a chance to practice talking about the topic. Be sure to check your pronunciation, rhythm, stress, and intonation with the audio and with your partner.
- The Speaking section gives you the opportunity to test your communication skills in a safe environment. Practice as much as you can with your partner(s), and when you’re in a genuinely intercultural situation, you’ll be ready. Don’t make the mistake of racing to finish quickly. Always think “What more can I add?” “What more can I tell or ask my partner(s)?” And if you finish the task before your classmates, please keep chatting in English!
- The Wrap Up with Danny/Kayla section works as a reading activity that checks your understanding and provides some more useful vocabulary. This time, it may be a good idea to highlight the words that you don’t know.
- The Your Turn section asks you to look outside Japan, do a little research, and get some information and insights about the unit’s theme from the perspective of a different culture. After you’ve prepared “Your Turn” (using the worksheets at the back of the book), be ready to tell your partner(s) about what you’ve learned.
- The Get Ready section introduces key vocabulary for the next unit. Try to review these words regularly before starting the new topic. “Meeting” a new word regularly is an important part of learning it. You can see this key vocabulary again in the worksheets at the back of the book. Check (✓) the words you already know and look up any words that you don’t know to write their meanings in the blanks.
This Is Japan is a topic-based speaking text, focusing on Japanese culture that features comparisons to the UK and US. Learners develop communication skills through a variety of enjoyable activities over 12 units. The text includes two review sections and removable worksheets for easy submission.
This Is Japan will help you to explain a variety of topics related to Japanese lifestyle and culture. Conversation with foreign friends can sometimes be difficult, but after practicing the topics in this book, you should be ready to start conversations on themes that you feel comfortable talking about:
“Have you ever eaten Japanese food?”
“Do you know much about Japanese manners?”
“Have you ever seen Japanese writing?”
If your homestay family or new friends aren’t familiar with Japanese culture, they’ll be happy if you can explain or “teach” them about these topics.
Please note: Audio for this book is available online.
