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 autonomous 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, progresses step by step, and maintains an appropriate total volume with moderate difficulty. The selected articles are rich in contemporary flavor and highly readable, 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 specialists. The teaching content of each lesson can be divided into three major sections based on functionality. 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 a comprehensive exercise centered on the overall content of the lesson.
