The'-’course also goes beyond
conversation
the
'style of elementary textbooks
and tries to link the language
to culture, so that the student,
while studing the language,,
also learns about the country.
Unfortunately, the themes of:
the lessons tend to repeat,
-those seen in other Japanese/
textbooks: earthquakes, festi- ’

vals, the seasons. It can be as-/
sumed that students at the in­
termediate level have a. cer­
tain knowledge of Japan; arid,
therefore lessons dealing with
slightly
more
contemporary
theme, politics and economics
would have been appreciated.

- Nevertheless, the course rep­
resents a useful addition to
materials available for stud­
ents abroad studying Japanese
and/for foreigners studying at
schools in Japan. For students
studying alone/ however, it
may be somewhat of a timeconsuming, approach, and we
still await the appearance of
suitable aids for that’kind of
