Wadaiko: An Introduction to the Sounds and Rhythms of Japanese [9781568365589]
From the authors of the best-selling Japanese for Busy People series (Kodansha) comes an innovative, engaging new way to learn Japanese. Based on a teaching approach which has been used successfully in the classroom by AJALT in Japan, Wadaiko immerses students in the sounds and rhythms of the Japanese language through songs, poetry, tongue twisters and other word games. The purpose is to get learners to 'feel' Japanese, to absorb it with the ears, without being expected to understand it all. AUTHOR: The Association for Japanese-Language Teaching (AJALT) was recognized as a nonprofit organization by the Japanese Ministry of Education in 1977. It was established to meet the practical needs of people who are not necessarily specialists on Japan but who wish to communicate effectively in Japanese. In 1992, AJALT was awarded the Japan Foundation Special Prize; and in 2010, it became a public interest incorporated association. AJALT created the best-selling Japanese for Busy People series, as well as the Japanese for Young People series, both published by Kodansha. AJALT's website is www.ajalt.org.
