About the Revised Version
"Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" Series was published in two sets, "Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" (March 1999) and "Zoku Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" (May 2001), but since then, many teachers have used it, and based on the many opinions they have offered, we published the revised version of "Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" in March 2002.

The most significant change has been combining the "Setsumei Hen" ("Grammar Notes") for both "Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" and "Zoku Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" into one volume for greater ease of use. The "Renshû Hen" ("Activity Book") is still in two volumes, with the "Renshu Hen" for "Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" being renamed "Renshû Hen 1" and the one for "Zoku Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" being renamed "Renshû Hen 2." Furthermore, kanji usage in both the "Setsumei Hen" and the "Renshû Hen" has been partly revised to conform to the standards of Japanese Language Proficiency Text as of 2002, in terms of the kanji used and orthographic conventions for each level of study.
