All of the results of the present research are summarized in the main volume (308 pages), the Separate Volume 1 (168 pages), and the Separate Volume 2 (210 pages).
The main volume is about backgrounds of our study, the experimental implementation of student teaching in response to foreign pupils in Japanese elementary schools, Japanese language supports in Gunma Prefecture, educational practice in the other prefecture (Kanagawa), implications from the viewpoint of psychology, the educational reform of elementary schools in Brazil, and elementary mathematics education in Brazil.

To say, having these meetings became one of the effective methods of this research. For example, it was shown in the workshop 2004 that some junior high schools could be the role models for the schools which seek effective career counseling for the foreign students; in the workshop 2005, it was indicated that the notion of bilingual education had been considerably prevailed among the participants, but there was still room for consideration of issues concerning duties of so-called bilingual teachers.
