Reviews... the exercises and activities that follow each new grammar point are instrumental in reinforcing what I teach. Most of the activities are fun and creative, and can be adapted to our class needs. This is the strongest aspect of the text and the reason we use it in our university., NAKAMA is surely a complete program. It is very user-friendly and informative. I like [that] it teaches some communicative strategies. It offers more than what I expected [from] a Japanese textbook., A well-designed, challenging program that can clearly prepare students for the JLPT and other national exams, Study Abroad in Japan, and eventually gaining employment in Japan or with Japanese companies., [I] like the technical support that will enhance students' interactive communicative ability, which is not easily attainable outside [the] classroom.
