NihonGO NOW! is an introductory courseware package that adopts a performance-based culture approach to learning Japanese. This groundbreaking approach strikes a harmonious balance between the requirement for a profound intellectual grasp of structural components and numerous avenues to immerse oneself in the language within its cultural milieu.

From the very beginning, learners are exposed to authentic language samples that are contextually sensitive and culturally coherent. The primary objective of instructional time is to facilitate rehearsal of interactions that learners of Japanese are likely to encounter in the future, encompassing a range of communication modes such as speaking, listening, writing, and reading.

Level 1 is structured around two textbooks accompanied by activity books. When combined with audio files, these four resources enable instructors to tailor a beginner-level course, akin to the initial year of college Japanese, to the specific requirements of their students. They prioritize language acquisition and modeled behavior, offering learners the opportunity to acquire language through performance templates. Furthermore, online resources are readily accessible to both students and instructors, offering a wealth of supplementary materials. These include audio files, videos, additional exercises, and a comprehensive teachers manual, all accessible at www.routledge.com/9781138304147.
