About the series

Let’s Read Japanese is the first series of Japanese graded readers linked to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. 

Until now, there have been very limited graded reading materials for Japanese learners and teachers. The first official series from Oxford Brookes University, Let’s Read Japanese, has been developed by experienced teachers in Japanese as a foreign language in response to the vast acceleration in the numbers of learners of Japanese as a foreign language.

Oxford Brookes University is one of several UK universities offering both a combined and single honours undergraduate programme in Japanese. Oxford Brookes has particular expertise in Japanese as a foreign language, with research strength in Japanese language pedagogy. Let's Read Japanese is:

• supervised by Suzuko Anai (Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies at Oxford Brookes University)
• project managed by Dr Irène Hill (Programme Lead for Modern Languages at Oxford Brookes University). 

The series benefits from the expertise of consultants from the Oxford International Centre for Publishing Studies, located at Oxford Brookes University.
