Compelling Conversations - Japan: Questions and Quotations for High-Intermediate Japanese English Language Learners deploys a range of speaking activities, vocabulary expansion lessons, classic quotations, and search-and-share internet activities. The fluency-focused English as a Foreign Language (EFL) conversation textbook includes 12 thematic chapters that explore daily life in Japan and develops English skills. Designed to help Japanese English language learners describe their lives, share their experiences, and develop their critical thinking skills, the innovative conversation book includes activities for asking questions, paraphrasing proverbs, expressing opinions, comparing ideas, summarize articles/videos, discussing Japanese objects, and give reviews. Each chapter concludes with a communicative exercise where students find articles/videos online, summarize the material, and evaluate the information. Chapter sections Sharing Experiences, Vocabulary Expansion, Culture Corner, Ask More Questions, Photographs to Start Conversations, Paraphrasing Proverbs, Pronunciation Practice, The Conversation Continues, Discussing Quotations, Tell Me About Japan ... in English, and Search and Share webquests.

Written by a team of experienced English teachers, this book expands upon the popular communicative techniques used in prior Compelling Conversations books and focuses on the specific needs of Japanese English language learners. This title is the fourth book in the critically-acclaimed Compelling Conversations series and the third book created for English language learners inside a country (United States, Vietnam). The three authors - Eric H. Roth, Shiggy Ichinomiya, and Brent Warner - have taught English to college students and working professionals for a total of over 40 years, including 17 years inside Japan. Roth has co-authored three other Compelling Conversations books. Recommendations for Compelling Conversation- Japan -------- A much needed book for Japanese English Language Learners. As an ESL teacher and accent reduction coach, I regularly encounter frustrated students from Japan who don't feel comfortable speaking English. Their English learning experiences consisted mostly of the traditional method of learning grammar rules and preparing for English exams. Compelling Conversations - Japan will prove very useful to Japanese English learners who want to travel or study in the US or simply feel more comfortable conversing in English. With this book, the learner won't stop talking. And that's the goal It's more than just a conversation book. It's also a cross-cultural awareness book, filled with proverbs and cultural insights. It also has great vocabulary expansion exercises. There are valuable English pronunciation exercises focusing on the sounds that are difficult for native Japanese speakers. It contains tons of fun and thought-provoking conversation topics relevant a person from a Japanese cultural background. A must-have for a conversation class with Japanese learners of English.

Great barefoot option for early walkers!
Size: 12-18 Months Infant, Color: Grey
A moccasin is such a great place to start! Buying barefoot shoes can be hard.. they’re not always the cutest, can be expensive & there’s a lot to pay attention to! We love moccasins as a great first shoe for our boys. Perfect for summer because they’re more like a sandal & let in air flow. Why we love: ✨Meets barefoot-style checklist ✨SUPER inexpensive ✨Quality made & last a long time ✨Lots of style & sizing options ✨Breathable ✨Easy to put on & take off ✨They protect feet all while still giving a sensory experience These ones do run big, so size down. If you’re looking for a shoe that has more grip on the bottom, there are tons of moccasin style shoes with grip as well. Give these a shot if you have a fresh walker on your hands!

Great shoes for first time walkers!
Size: 12-18 Months Infant, Color: Grey, Size: 12-18 Months Infant, Color: Grey
The material is great! My child likes it and hasn’t tried to take them off! They are lightweight and not bulky. Very flexible ! Also I did my research and it’s made in the UK and made with genuine leather! The color is cute as well! Wish they did have more variety here in Amazon but still okay with it!

Cute, soft, comfy
Size: 6-12 Months Infant, Color: Navy
I wanted a leather sole shoe for my ten month old daughter for playing outside this summer so she could have protection for her feet without a hard “supportive” shoe inhibiting her ability to learn to balance or affecting her feet as the bones continue to develop. These are perfect, they are soft and easy to put on. The elastic in the ankle holds it on without being too tight and it doesn’t dig into her skin at all. Provide protection and grip as she learns to walk and are not too bulky at all. I got the 9-12 month size and it has enough room to accommodate a chubbier foot than my daughter has, but still fits well and looks adorable.

Love these
Size: 18-24 Months Infant, Color: Grey
These are awesome! My 15-month old wore these everywhere on our trip to Mexico. He scuffed them up quite a bit, but other than cosmetics, they're holding strong through sand, sprinklers, and general gallivanting around. They are super easy to get on, which also makes them easy for him to pull off. But as long as he's busy running a muck, he forgets they're even on his feet.

Sizing is off, send me free pair!
Size: 3-4 Years Toddler, Color: Navy, Size: 3-4 Years Toddler, Color: Navy
Sizing is off. I’m very frustrated. I ordered it to Costa Rica thru shipping company in Miami, which takes about 3 weeks to deliver and + shipping fee that they apply (20$) I spent time and checked the size guide. According to the size guide, I ordered “3-4 years old” which supposed to be 16cm from heel to toe) the pair I ordered ended up being 17cm! My baby’s feet are 15cm, I was planning to get 16cm for him to grow into it, but 17cm is too big. The shoes it self looks good, the leather is very soft and nice. I’m not sure how durable they are. Ordering first time from this brand. I ordered 2 pairs of shoes from a similar brand and liked it. They just didn’t have the size I needed. Although, the leather the previous brand uses for shoes seems much thicker. Again, I don’t know how durable “Dooty Fish” but I like how soft on skin they are.
