Reading Comprehension Training for International Students: 15 Tips

Product Description

Enjoy the satisfaction of understanding what you read. This study book is designed to help learners accurately comprehend written Japanese through 15 structured lessons, each focused on practical reading comprehension strategies. These skills support everyday reading as well as preparation for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU).

Through exercises across a wide range of genres, learners build the ability to recognize, understand, and apply key reading strategies. Explanations of the strategies include translations in English, Chinese, Korean, and Russian. A downloadable vocabulary list with translations in the same languages is also available from the Bonjinsha website for the texts used in the sections “Challenge First,” “Basic Exercises,” and “Advanced Exercises.”

The book is divided into four parts: Part 1 trains learners to understand long and complex sentences; Part 2 focuses on connections between sentences such as demonstratives, omissions, and related expressions; Part 3 develops the ability to follow text structure and identify the author’s main point; and Part 4 teaches how to use background knowledge to read more smoothly and effectively.
