Author Description

A comprehensive, communicative, three level beginner's Japanese course designed specifically for the Australasian multi-level classroom. Full colour cartoon stories and photographs, integral to the presentation of language and culture, provide a strong visual appeal. The Kimono method is designed to be used for a range of abilities. KIMONO 2 continues the lively, humorous approach to communicative language teaching adopted in the first level of the course. KIMONO 2 is designed to meet the changing needs of the maturing Japanese learner. The Japanese language is used more extensively, most noticeably in the cultural units, which use material reproduced from magazines and brochures.
