Contemporary Japanese:A Textbook for College Students is designed for beginning students of the Japanese language at the university level.

Textbooks and the Students Who Can’t Read Them: A Guide for the Teaching of Content
June 2nd, 2010
Classroom teachers are faced with an immediate dilemma: how to engage their students in the content of teaching and inspire them to study, when so many lack the skills to read and easily understand the content. It has also become clear that assigning readings, lecturing, and then asking questions is an ineffective way to teach them. This book proposes how to involve low readers more effectively in textbook learning. It presents instructional techniques to improve students’ willingness to work in mainstream textbooks–particularly those students with low reading skills. These techniques optimize learning of new content by focusing on three phases: Teachers *prepare* the student for new learning (Before Reading), *help* them (During Reading), and then help them *integrate* the new learning into what they already know (After Reading). The net effect of providing these active “handles” for learning from text is to maintain the confidence and motivation of the low-reading

Teaching What Really Happened: How to Avoid the Tyranny of Textbooks and Get Students Excited About Doing History
June 1st, 2010
In this follow-up to his landmark bestseller, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong, James Loewen continues to break silences and change our perspectives on U. S. history. Loewen takes history textbooks to task for their perpetuations of myth and their lack of awareness of today’s multicultural student audience (not to mention the astonishing number of facts they just got plain wrong). How did people get here? Why did Europe win? Why Did the South Secede? In Teaching What Really Happened, Loewen goes beyond the usual textbook-dominated viewpoints to illuminate a wealth of intriguing, often hidden facts about America’s past. Calling for a new way to teach history, this book will help teachers move beyond traditional textbooks to tackle difficult but important topics like conflicts with Native Americans, slavery, and race relations. Throughout, Loewen shows time and again how teaching what really happened connects better with all kin

Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations on Timeless Topics- An Engaging ESL Textbook for Advanced Students
April 13th, 2010
Review
Have you been looking for a good ESL manual? If you have, I think this is one (Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations on Timeless Topics) to consider. The topics cover: Your Life, The Civic Life, along with the everyday aspects as dating, enjoying money, handling stress. The editors put it together in an easy to use form. You have conversation starters such as, “How much time do you spend each week in cars? Why?” There is a section in each chapter for vocabulary building. A section on common sayings is included, as well. To increase the conversation we have such questions as this: “Do you prefer to drive in the city or the country? Flat or hills?” Each chapter in the book concludes with quotations. An example is this one by Woody Allen, “I have bad reflexes. I was once run over by a car being pushed by two guys. ” This manual helps conversation by giving common subjects to talk about. Since English is one of the conf
