GENKI is a new introductory Japanese textbook series developed by faculty at Kansai Gaidai University. Lessons include dialogues, grammar explanations, and many group- and pair- based exercises and activities in which students work with drawings and realistic situations. This series is designed for university level students, and advances at a fairly rapid rate, but at the very least, the exercises and activities could be useful in the secondary classroom.

344 pp, $37.50. Textbook II, Workbooks I & II, CD I & II, and Teacher's Manual with English Translation, forthcoming.
