WELCOME YELLOW 2nd Edition (Release date: April 14th, 2022)
The fun of the pictures of each scene in the text is retained, and clarity is visualized.
In the WELCOME series of textbooks for young children, we have tried to create a bright, fun, humorous, not too realistic and dreamy page with a structure that changes with each turn of the page. This gives the teacher a lot of freedom and encourages children to look at the pictures throughout the text.
【Main revisions】
- Word pictures and letters added below the scene pictures in each unit
- Audio numbers printed on the dialogue as well as the songs and chants
- Additional illustrations for “small stories” to help children interact with English in a fun way
- New Words section at the end of the book. Visualizes what vocabulary will be used
- Smaller characters from “Kids English Books” related to the unit are added
- Added the word YELLOW to the Certificate given at the end of the year
- The audio on the student CD has been changed to include a QR code.
＊For the year 2022, there will be a transition period during which both the old and new editions will be available for purchase.
(If you wish to continue using the current edition, 1st edition is still available to order.)

Q&A
Q:Can I use my previous instruction manuals?
A: Available for use. The only change in content is in Unit 10-B on the last page.
（The contents of Unit 10-B and the teacher’s audio will be available on the website as soon as they are ready.）
A vocabulary column has been added to visualise “what vocabulary is used in this situation”, but there is no task to spell words in the Achievement Targets. As in the past, the emphasis is still on memorising song chants.
Q: What if my brother or sister wants to use their text?
A: To avoid teaching difficulties, please ensure that editions are aligned within the class. Please inform parents/guardians of the re-purchase.
As the text is audio-centered throughout the year and the children will be looking closely at the pictures in the text, we ask that the editions are matched within the class.
Q: I understand that there is a high demand for QR codes, but I still want my students to have CDs.
A: As we value the ability to listen to the audio anywhere, anytime in this series, we have received many requests to discontinue the CDs and for QR codes, but we will continue to sell the Teacher CDs (Class CDs), both for Book 1 and WELCOME YELLOW. We have not yet decided on the sale of the ‘Student CDs’ for Book 1 and the new YELLOW, but we may consider selling them exclusively on e-APRICOT if necessary. (as of 15 April 2022)
Q: How long will the ‘Student CDs’ be available?
A: The current version of the Student CD is fully stocked for 2022. There will be no Student CDs available for the new edition with QR codes. If we determine that there is a high demand for Student CDs in the future, we will consider releasing them as an e-APRICOT exclusive product from 2023 (not yet determined at this time).
Q: If I want to listen to the audio in the car, do I have to ask parents to download the app?
A: We recommend downloading the Student CD App as it can be played continuously offline.
The app’s audio.
・Connect your smartphone to the car navigation system via Bluetooth and listen to it.
・Connect your smartphone to your car navigation system (car audio system) with a USB cable and play it back.
You can listen to the music in your car in the following ways
It is also possible to download the audio in batches to an SD card, insert the SD card into the car navigation system slot and play it back.
※Please check whether your Android smartphone is compatible with a USB cable and whether your car navigation system is compatible with an SD card before using this function.
Q: You will need a mobile phone/tablet. Some families do not allow their children to use mobile phones. I think this is a very useful feature.
A: It is possible to import the audio in its entirety to a PC, so it can be imported into iTunes etc. and played back on the PC.
(It is also possible to burn the audio from the PC onto a CD-R in ‘audio CD’ format. In this case, two CDs will be required).
| [About the student CDs]
For a long time, audio has been provided to students as a ‘student CD’ at a cost of 1000 yen. 1. the suggestion that families do not have CD decks at home; and 2. the case is prone to cracking; and 3. in terms of de-plasticization. 4. the fact that CDs are limited to a headcount of 99 (a single CD cannot contain more than 100 audio tracks) and that the audio content will increase to more than 100 with this revision We have taken the decision to eliminate the student CDs. We hope you understand the use of apps and QR codes. |
