The English Course audio material is now optionally available on compact disc (20/9/2011)

If you are unable to use DVDs, you can now order material on compact disc. Audio only versions of conversations used in each of the speaking books are on the discs. Unfortunately, some material is only available on DVD as it is incompatible with the compact disc format. Video clips from the DVDs may be viewed on the Study Centre web site, however.

To ensure the greatest flexibility for students and teachers alike, DVDs and CDs are no longer included with purchase of the textbook as a set. All components of The English Course titles may now be ordered separately, according to the customers' needs. The basic full price of textbooks is now ¥2499, DVD sets are ¥700 and CD sets are ¥500.
