New from Kinseido – new catalogue
Dear Teacher,
Hello from everyone at Kinseido Publishing! We hope your second semester is going smoothly. We wanted to write to you with an update on a few recent changes at Kinseido.
My name is Alastair Lamond. I joined the Japan ELT community in 1988 as a teacher and as a consultant in 1995. I joined the Kinseido team as Kinseido ELT Senior Consultant. Write to me at ( alastair@kinsei-do.co.jp )
I am looking forward to working with you to select the most appropriate Kinseido texts for your classes as well as help you with anything I can, such as explaining how to maximize use of Kinseido ELT’s various services.
We are very happy to announce that we have a new English-only website, kinseido-elt.com, which was launched In October with the aim of allowing you to communicate with us and avail yourself of our services in English. The texts we have chosen to focus on are texts that have proven popular with non-Japanese teachers as well as texts that have been written with all teachers in mind.
We invite you to make more use of E-SPACE, which allows you to order inspection copies online, teachers’ manuals, audio files, and make stock reservations. To further familiarize yourself with it, please have a look at our explanatory page: ( https://www.kinseido-elt.com/how-to-use-e-space )
You will soon be receiving our new 2023 catalogue. On the inside front cover there are 2 prepaid postcards: one to check up to 10 new titles as inspection copies, and one to request any of our titles as inspection copies. We aim to send out a sample within a week of receiving the postcard.
The catalogue is also online for easy reference: ( https://www.kinseido-elt.com/catalogue )
Kinseido ELT’s Facebook page will be more active from now – ( https://www.facebook.com/kinseidoelt )
We would appreciate your support by liking our page, so you can keep in touch with Kinseido’s new materials, and different services such as plus+Media, which is a free online service provided by Kinseido Publishing Co., Ltd.
Here is a how-to-use page: ( https://www.kinseido-elt.com/plus-media ) Videos and audio programs on plus+Media are streamed and password-protected. The passwords are in the back of each student book.
You can see all the titles with videos here: ( https://plusmedia.kinsei-do.co.jp/plusmedia/html/user/ )
Most of them have sample videos. We will be uploading sample videos for our new titles soon.
If you are going to the JALT conference in Fukuoka next month, please visit our booth to say hello and have a look at our new titles.
If you are not attending the conference, E-SPACE will always help you out. As will calling or emailing us!
Good luck with the rest of the year and please do contact us anytime – we are always happy to hear from you and help in any way we can.
