Comment from Professor Masahiko Yokoyama
Since the publication of "English Hanon/Beginner" in April 2021, I am truly happy and grateful that it has been selected as the number one book in the speaking category of the "English Strongest Teaching Material Ranking" for three consecutive years, among many famous bestsellers and other popular books that have been published one after another. At our university, the curriculum for basic English education will be completely renewed from 4, and all Japanese students will take the on-demand class "Logic of English" in their first and second years. I will be lecturing on "Logical Speaking for Global Communication," which university students should acquire as part of their "education," using the methods established in the "Hanon" series. Please look forward to the long-awaited new curriculum that will begin in 3.Professor Masahiko Yokoyama's profile page can be found here
