This is a Japanese language teaching material for students with roots in foreign countries.

This is the second book in a series of three books (“Basics”, “Application”, and “Development”).

The aim of this book is that while the student is studying Japanese vocabulary and expressions, he/she learns, in an integrated manner, the basic vocabulary and knowledge related to a specific school subject and develops his/her thinking ability and ability to talk on the subject.

Compared to the “Basic Edition”, this edition contains more expressions related to reading comprehension and presentations, and the topics are more closely related to the subject of study.

At the end of each topic, there are activities for the student to actively explore what he/she has learned, such as doing research, making presentations, debates, questionnaires, writing haiku, and writing mini biographies.

Target: Junior high school students closely connected with foreign countries (born and/or raised there) receiving Japanese language study support (students who can read and write hiragana and katakana and simple kanji)
Level: Intermediate
Composition: 12 topics
Orthography: Kanji with kana readings
