Features: To enable learners to achieve basic listening and speaking skills within a limited time (200 hours), the textbook adopts a unique approach and unconventional learning methods, emphasizing the use of the textbook and audio cassettes. "Listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation" are the five fundamental components of foreign language learning. To master a foreign language, one should grasp these five aspects. However, for foreign language learners outside the language environment, "listening and speaking" become the most formidable obstacles on the path forward, especially for non-majors, self-learners, and advanced learners. The New Japanese Basic Course 1 & 2 effectively addresses this issue. The textbook's status as a globally best-selling Japanese course (according to Asahi Shimbun) and its 60% market share in Japan are not the result of chance. They are the outcome of nearly four decades of continuous exploration, refinement, and revision by the Overseas Technical Training Association (AOTS), which went through the arduous process of three versions before completing the current New Japanese Basic Course 1 & 2.
