Todd Jay Leonard


The Better Half: Exploring the Changing Roles of Men and Women with Current Newspaper Articles uses 15 current newspaper articles to develop reading, listening, writing and speaking skills. Students read the passages for important information and then work through the accompanying exercises to answer comprehension questions, to build their vocabulary base, to identify paragraphs containing main points, and to present their own opinions on the topic.


  1. Fifteen NEWSPAPER ARTICLES explore the changing roles of men and women in modern Japan.

  2. VOCABULARY NOTES explain new words and phrases.

  3. SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS test student comprehension.

  4. MATCHING and FILL-IN-THE-BLANK exercises consolidate new vocabulary.

  5. PARAGRAPH SUMMARIES challenge students to identify key paragraphs.

  6. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES allow students to express their own thoughts with a fun series of optional tasks.

  7. Each article is recorded to provide LISTENING PRACTICE.
