#15 ER in Japanese. Interview with Dr. Mitsue Tabata-Sandom (Part II)

Our previous episode featured the first part of our interview with long-time promoter of ER in Japanese Dr. Tabata-Sandom, which dealt mostly with the particularities of the Japanese writing system and its effects on learning to read the language. In this episode we include the second part of that interview, which deals with topics such as the challenges that authors of Japanese graded readers face, the limitations of Japanese graded readers and of doing ER in Japanese, Japanese teachers’ openness and willingness to do ER, and the role of children books and manga in learning to read in this language. But maybe most importantly, this episode comes with a very rich account by our guest of the resources that are available for those who want to do ER in Japanese.
