This workbook is designed for learners who:
• Are aged around 12 to 18 years old

Goal and Approach
This is suitable for students working towards GCSE Foundation Tier and also covers challenging GCSE topics. English and Japanese scripts are provided to support you, and you can pick up new vocabulary while listening. How the scripts are presented, and whether additional questions are included, varies by exercise.
GCSE Foundation Tierの試験対策ができるワークブックです。後半にはGCSEの難しいトピックも登場します。英語や日本語のスクリプトを見ながら語彙も一緒に勉強できます。各問題によって詳細は異なります。
For those studying Japanese for the first time, listening is really tough until you get used to the sound. Vocabulary skills vary a lot, and that has a big effect on listening ability too. The worksheets are carefully designed so that students can predict unclear parts from the overall context and break down chunks of sound into meaning. Activities to revise vocabulary are also included.
日本語を初めて勉強する人にとって、耳が慣れるまでリスニングは本当に大変です。また、語彙習得力は個人差が大きく、リスニング力にも影響します。ワークシートは、聞いている時に全体の流れからわからない部分を予想したり、音の塊を意味のある言葉として捉えられるようにサポートすることを目指して作りました。また、語彙復習のアクティビティも加えました。
