Coursebook Series
Smile Series
An elementary English coursebook that helps children living in Japan build the foundation to express themselves in English. Conceived by classroom teachers in 2010 and first published in 2014, Smile has been revised nearly every year. It covers the Course of Study while carefully choosing vocabulary and presentation so children can learn more naturally.
A curriculum rooted in daily life
More than 3,000 words drawn from children’s lives in Japan, designed to reach junior-high graduation–level expressions—building vocabulary mastery and awareness of grammar.
Stories that grow with learners
The same characters appear from Smile 1 onward, sharing experiences as children grow. Learners enjoy the story world as if it were their own.
Free support for teachers
Teacher’s guides, digital content, flashcards, worksheets, vocabulary tests, and more—plus stickers and puppets—to lighten prep and keep children engaged.
Smile Online
A web service that supports text learning at home, with video, Mogumi Talk®, alphabet game, and more content added over time.
