Features: "Basic Japanese" (Volume 3) is one of the key textbooks for Shanghai's universities under the "Nineties" Five-Year Plan. After two years of trial use, it has been continuously improved and refined before finally being published. The writing of this textbook has invested the efforts of many teachers and students from the Japanese Department of East China Normal University over the years. During the writing process, it was supported by the Japan International Exchange Foundation, which provided an opportunity to visit Japan. Under the direct guidance of Dr. Kimura Tomoko at the National Institute of Japanese Language and Linguistics and Professor Kitamura Hiroshi from Tohoku University, who participated in the writing of this textbook, the book was comprehensively revised. Therefore, "Basic Japanese" (Volume 3) can be said to be the crystallization of joint efforts by scholars from both China and Japan. This textbook has the following features:
1. It has a novel structure, covers a wide range of topics, and adopts diverse formats, demonstrating strong originality, systematicity, and practicality.
2. It breaks away from the traditional grammar-centered textbook system, focusing on introducing the customs and traditions of Japanese society as the main theme to broaden students' linguistic knowledge and enhance their cross-cultural communication skills.
3. It emphasizes cultivating students' innovative thinking abilities, requiring them to engage in classroom discussions after mastering the text content and to summarize their findings in written form.
4. It strives to integrate listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation through various language teaching materials, fostering students' comprehensive language application skills.
