Reading English News on the Internet (Classroom Text)

Hi
I worked in Japan for a number of years, and have recently published a textbook geared specifically to the Japanese ESL classroom. If anyone is interested, please feel free to get in touch.
Cheers

Good to know this, hope you make it big, whenever some Japanese friends of mine would like to learn English, then I know who to turn to...

Who is the publisher? (Ah, I see lulu.com self-published).
What age level is it geared for?

Sounds interesting, I'll tell my fiance who teaches English in Tokyo.
Although more than JPY5,000 seems a bit expensive.
Anyway I shouldn't judge the book by its cover price

Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN-10: 1847539718
ISBN-13: 978-1847539717
Price at Amazon Japan (as of May 2): JPY 5,607

Hi
Thanks for writing. It's aimed at intermediate to advanced adult learners.

p.s. 5,000 yen plus from amazon.co.jp does seem a little steep, but it can also be ordered for around 30 USD plus shipping, directly from lulu (lulu.com/lang-arts)

Don't mind me asking, but what do you mean by spcifically geared towards the Japanese ESOL student? I ask as my mum teaches English in Germany and has expressed some concern in regards to the applicability of the printed material she is forced to use by the schools. She has, in particular, said that it is often out of date and therefore not on par with current information trends.
BTW, where in NZ are you? I'm in Auckland - literally a stones throw from the Sky Tower.
