Written for students and adults with an interest in culture and communication, this book serves as a kind of bridge between intermediate/advanced "language" textbooks and the kind of actual textbooks used in English-speaking courses on intercultural communication overseas. It was designed specifically for use with students who are preparing for the study abroad experience. It uses examples that will be accessible to students who have not yet had a chance to travel outside Japan, making it especially useful as either a study abroad preparatory text, or as a book simply to enjoy.
