Features: This series of teaching materials highlights the "student-centered" teaching philosophy in its overall planning, content selection, and arrangement. It not only allows for the individual expression of teachers but also facilitates independent learning for students, helping them build a solid language foundation and improve their practical Japanese proficiency. During the writing process, we thoroughly researched intermediate Japanese teaching materials both domestically and internationally, drawing on the strengths of various resources for our own use. The entire series is uniformly planned, progressive, appropriately comprehensive, and appropriately challenging. The selected articles are rich in contemporary and have strong readability, providing learners with authentic and elegant Japanese. Additionally, this series emphasizes the cultivation and training of skills in vocabulary and sentence patterns. The overall design, text selection, grammar explanations, and exercises were completed by Chinese compilers, while Japanese experts were responsible for writing the accompanying conversation and listening comprehension sections. Therefore, this series can be considered a crystallization of the integration of China's Japanese teaching practices with the linguistic expertise of Japanese experts. The teaching content of each lesson can be divided into three major functional sections. First is the reading, speaking, and listening activities and training centered around the first text of each lesson, which is the core content of the lesson. The second section is the second text, designed to expand vocabulary and sentence pattern knowledge and strengthen reading training. The third section is the comprehensive exercise centered around the overall content of the lesson.
