First published in 2012, this book was reprinted in 2019 and 2022. I am delighted that a fourth printing is scheduled for 2026. It has now been fourteen years since its initial publication, and I am grateful that the volume continues to be read and to contribute to the field of Japanese language education.
2012年の初版刊行以来、2019年、2022年と重版を重ね、このたび2026年に第4刷が刊行されました。初版刊行から14年の歳月の間に、コロナ後のニューノーマルへの移行、さらには教育現場におけるAI活用の急速な進展など、大学・学校教育を取り巻く環境は大きく変容しました。そのような時代の変化の中で、本書が引き続き日本語教育の一助となっていることを、嬉しく思います。

About the photo: Folks in my hometown Tokushima (徳島) have enjoyed the annual Awa Dance (阿波踊り) festival for centuries. This is an old picture of my father (the one holding the banner for the dance group). When he was still alive, we enjoyed dancing together while chanting. The chant goes like this: “Odoru aho ni miru aho. Onaji aho nara odorana son son! (Those who dance are fools. Those who only watch are fools, too. Well, if you can’t be smart in either way, you might as well just dance!
