Advanced Japanese: Scientific Questions to Think in Japanese Vol. 1 Culture and Society

A new inquiry- and activity-based Japanese language textbook for "researching, thinking, and communicating" covering diverse topics and interesting discoveries from academic research. Many critical issues lie ahead in today's global society, such as environmental problems, inequality and poverty, as well as disasters, conflicts, and infectious diseases. In this global and borderless era, it is imperative for people to collaborate and address issues beyond borders and disciplines. Studying in school or working in a company requires a broad range of knowledge in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. What is important is not just knowledge, but exploration, dialogue, and collaboration with a scientific mind. This book contains 104 "research, think, and communicate" activities, and 333 words and phrases based on the corpus, using texts that introduce academic research. Through rich explanations and exercises, you can develop comprehensive Japanese communication skills.
