\"Trends<\/a><\/p>\n

Though Kinney Brothers Publishing<\/a> is best known for its Phonics & Spelling<\/a> and Stories For Young Readers<\/a> series, we also have teaching material for adults!\u00a0 Like all of our textbooks, the Trends: Business and Culture Reports<\/em><\/a> series was created out of a need for classroom resources that, in this case, would spark the varied interests of adult language learners.<\/p>\n

Robert Kinney, of Kinney Brothers Publishing, worked with students at Saidai University and government employees at the National Diet in Japan.\u00a0 For these classes, topical lessons that promoted critical thinking and a more nuanced response in conversation were the lessons du jour<\/em>.\u00a0 In response, Robert created a collection of topical business reports and exercises to lead his intermediate and advanced students toward classroom discussions.\u00a0 Trends: Business and Culture Reports<\/em> is the result of Robert’s years teaching those classes.<\/p>\n

Below are a few examples from the Trends<\/em> series.\u00a0 Two are free.\u00a0 You can download individual lessons packs<\/a> or the full textbooks by clicking on the images below.\u00a0 This series is also available as black and white printed textbooks<\/a> on the Kinney Brothers Publishing website.<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear how your students respond to these lessons.\u00a0 Please let me know in the comment section below!<\/p>\n

As always, best of luck in your classes!<\/p>\n
