Features: This book is a teaching material specifically designed for advanced-level university Japanese classes. It is suitable for the intensive reading courses for Japanese majors in their third and fourth years. Additionally, it can also serve as a textbook for writing, translation, and reading courses in Japanese major programs. The book is divided into two volumes, consisting of 12 units and 36 lessons. The two major features of this book are:
1. A completely new format and structure. The entire book is composed of main texts, key knowledge points, vocabulary and expressions, exercise questions, reflection questions, and supplementary texts. The main texts and difficult new words are arranged side by side for easy comprehension. All vocabulary is explained in Japanese without Chinese translations, which helps students accurately understand word meanings and master natural Japanese. The key knowledge points section highlights specialized knowledge from the texts and explains them in Japanese to broaden students' knowledge base. The vocabulary and expressions section focuses on one or more linguistic points per lesson, aiding in both text comprehension and in-depth study of language expression methods, thereby improving language proficiency. The exercise and reflection questions are practical, and reference translations for grammar and translation exercises are provided at the end of the book. Each lesson includes supplementary texts closely related to the main text for post-class reading and reference.
2. A completely new perspective and selection of materials. The 12 units in this book are both independent and interconnected, complementing each other. These units are organized from the perspectives of "focusing on Japan," "focusing on the world," and "focusing on humanity." They cover both material and spiritual issues, as well as both present-day reflections and future outlooks. Each unit's articles are carefully selected to ensure broad perspectives and fresh content. The main and supplementary texts used in this book are newly introduced in primary Japanese teaching materials. The topics are cutting-edge, the language is vivid and dynamic, and the content reflects a strong sense of the times.
