Journey across Japan and the world with these engaging readings!
This text introduces students to the English-speaking world, intercultural communication skills, and covers domestic locations and issues as well. The readings are written to an A2/B1 CEFR level, so they are appropriate for students who need to study English, but may not be English majors.
Each of the 48 topics (16 in each of the three topic threads) has pre and post discussion questions, and comprehension and vocabulary questions as well. The text is written so the topics can be covered in any order or omitted as needed.
A teacher's manual (available from spring, 2026) has answers for the questions, translations of all passages, and a discussion of the concepts underlying how the book was made and its effective use.
