Level 2\u003c\/em\u003e is an intermediate level courseware package that takes a performed-culture approach to learning Japanese. This approach balances the need for an intellectual understanding of structural elements with multiple opportunities to experience the language within its cultural context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the outset, learners are presented with samples of authentic language that are context-sensitive and culturally coherent. Instructional time is used primarily to rehearse interactions that learners of Japanese are likely to encounter in the future, whether they involve speaking, listening, writing, or reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLevel 2 comprises two textbooks with accompanying activity books. These four books, in combination with audio files, allow instructors to adapt an intermediate level course, such as the second or third year of college Japanese, to their students’ needs. They focus on language and modelled behaviour, providing opportunities for learners to acquire language through performance templates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnline resources provide additional support for both students and instructors.
