Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to develop a training program based on the concepts of multilingualism/multiculturalism and plurilingualism/pluriculturalism. First, the questionnaire to language teachers was conducted to observe their language awareness. Their interests for 'KOTOBA' study was asked using the 'multilingual, multicultural teaching materials'　(http://www.waseda.jp/prj-tagengo2013/blog/html/2014/09/14/update.html). Then, a trial website was made. Next, the contents of existing training programs were examined. Moreover, educational programs at various settings were conducted targeting school teachers, language instructors, local Japanese language volunteer supporters. Based on these research and activities, 'four steps' with multilingual/ plurilingual education framework was developed.
