Description

In recent years, many Chinese secondary schools have incorporated Japanese as a second foreign language. However, as neither syllabi nor textbooks have been produced by the Ministry of Education yet, many teachers have been unsure of how to proceed in teaching their students. Under the situation, the Japan Foundation, Beijing screened the contents of the textbook Erin`s Challenge! I Can Speak Japanese (The Japan Foundation, 2007), added new ones considering the local circumstances in China and published under the title Erin's Challenge! I can Speak Japanese –Ailin Xue Riyu. Various revisions were made so that it can be used not only as the main textbook for a second foreign language in Chinese classrooms, but also as an audiovisual material for a first foreign language. Although it was well received, it revealed the necessity to support the teachers with regards to building competence in intercultural understanding.
