Role-based Listening: Progressing from Intermediate to Advanced Japanese
Intermediate/advanced resource for learner-involved study that improves listening comprehension skills by having the user assume one of the roles in the dialogues
The accompanying CD-ROM contains 200 tracks (MP3) featuring mainly dialogues recreating actual conversations, plus live recordings of Japanese university students conversing, and rakugo and humorous stories recited by rakugo master Sankyo Yanagiya.
The supplement includes an answer key and transcripts.
Features
- The dialogues cover interesting, carefully selected topics such as the seasons, food, travel, part-time work, and romance, and include some rakugo as well, providing the opportunity for users to also learn about Japanese lifestyles and culture.
- Instead of merely “eavesdropping” on the dialogues, the user role-plays as a participant, actively listening and responding to the things said.
- Each dialogue has a role card explaining the situation so that learners can play along.
- By simultaneously building up their skills in listening and asking questions in return, learners acquire a higher level of communication ability that enables them to expand their real-life conversations by drawing more information from the other person.
- After listening to a dialogue as a participant, users practice the dialogue using their own words to play the role, further enhancing their power of communication.
