When Japanese students talk to foreigners, the
most common questions that they are asked are
naturally about Japan. Explain It is the easy and
fun way for your students to improve their English
as they learn how to explain their own culture. As
most Japanese students use English in talking with
foreigners, both in Japan and overseas, practicing
English by talking about Japanese culture is a
perfect combination.
Explain It is based around fourteen themes
including sports, music, food, handicrafts, famous
people, and superstitions. Each theme focuses on
an aspect of Japanese culture and enables Japanese
students to explain their own opinions and
experiences about the themes.
Students ask and answer increasingly challenging
questions on particular aspects in Japanese
culture, practice realistic role plays with
foreigners, and then review these items in a way
that increases fluency. As students move through
the book, they also build up a bank of useful
language expressions which can be used to
effectively talk about their own culture.
