TALK! TALK! TALK! employs an innovative approach to language learning and vocabulary building through dialogues, readings, and activities that incorporate authentic English in interesting and practical contexts centered around topics that Japanese may be asked about Japan and their personal lives.
Each of the 15 lessons provides practice in all four communication skills, with a fifth skill—the cultural component––included to expand learners’ understanding of their own culture.
