Inspiring Students to Use Their Voices

It has always been challenging for teachers of current topics to find materials that not only build students’ fluency, but develop their critical thinking skills and motivate them to explore a range of today’s global issues. Inspiring Voices does all three, inviting students to share the dreams of 15 creative problem-solvers from Japan and around the world. Its chapters feature background readings, NHK Direct Talk video interviews, and scaffolded activities that culminate in communicative mini-projects.
