| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
"Multiliteracies" encompasses more than just the "reading and writing ability of a language". Deaf children in Japan have to learn to write Japanese through a written process without benefit of spoken language instructions. Research has shown that the multiliteracies theory has made important contributions to the acquisition of critical Japanese language literacy by utilizing various visual modes, such as written characters, video, photographs, cell phone emails, paintings and illustrations. A continuing challenge has been the limited actual application of the theory to educational practice.
Multiliteracies research also shows that this concept is effective in overcoming the hierarchy difference between the Japanese language and Japanese sign language. Research findings have been published in academic journals and have been presented at both domestic and international academic society meetings.
