Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus—Free Downloadable Course Readers!
NEW! The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus is pleased to announce the release of two new free volume-length e-book course readers.
In 2012, The Asia Pacific Journal: Japan Focus announced the start of a new initiative: volume-length e-book compilations of essays on selected topics with explanatory introductions by scholars.
These volumes are designed to make it easier for teachers and students to use the Asia-Pacific Journal archive. The volume editors have chosen articles from the archive that lend themselves particularly well to classroom use and work well as a set. All volumes have been peer-reviewed, in addition to the initial review process each article went through when it was originally posted.
The Asia-Pacific Journal is proud of providing educational resources suitable for classroom use.
The readers are designed to be especially convenient for students; the readers are available any time of day, are storable on a computer, searchable, and cost nothing to them.
Fifteen readers are currently available on the following topics. For a quick look at the tables of contents and title pages of each reader, please open the files below. The full readers are accessible through the second set of links.
