Grammar in Use Intermediate (Japanese Edition) is a bilingual (English / Japanese) edition of Grammar in Use Intermediate (With Answers) Second Edition (052162598x) targeted at learners in Japan whose mother tongue is Japanese and whose command of English is relatively weak. The classic In Use format remains, with explanation and examples on the left page followed by exercises on the right. As in the monolingual edition, there are six Appendices, Additional Exercises, a Study Guide and Answer Key. In the Japanese Edition, grammatical explanation and terminology as well as selected example sentences (or parts of sentences) are translated on the left page. On the right page, exercise instuctions are translated. There is a modest amount of content adaptation, typically consisting of additional explanation or examples for grammar which is identified as a weak spot for Japanese learners. As the book is for sale in in the locally-produced EFL materials section of Japanese bookstores, the dimensions of the book have been reduced. The extent remains the same as in the original. The Japanese Edition does not contain a CD.

Write To Be Read is a high-intermediate to advanced text designed to teach ESL/EFL students to write convincing English paragraphs and academic essays with greater fluency. A whole language approach leads students through the process of reading, thinking, and then writing, with attention to logic, purpose, audience, and patterns of organisation. The text concentrates on the academic essay as the basis for other forms of academic writing. High interest reading passages come from the major genres of academic and other expository writing, popular periodicals, and literature. The first two lessons are devoted to the paragraph, the next five to essays, and the final one to writing answers to essay exams. An appendix provides exercises on specific grammar problems for those students needing additional practice.
