Live coverage of a veteran teacher's class! Follow the lesson from start to finish. You won't find another opportunity to observe a class this thoroughly.
Recommended for those struggling to imagine what a Japanese language class is like, or for new teachers unsure of their teaching style.
Before and after becoming a Japanese language teacher, you rarely have the opportunity to observe other teachers' classes.
This book compiles live coverage of the author's classes, complete with photos, and is a collection of live coverage and commentary, all in one volume.
It covers 23 topics, mainly beginner-level topics, such as "yari-mori" (giving and receiving) and "intransitive and transitive verbs." Six of the 23 lessons also come with a video viewing service.
