Research Abstract

We currently have more than 10,000 foreign children who need to learn Japanese in schools. Being mostly fast learners of survival Japanese, they have many problems understanding written Japanese when used, in textbooks of regular subjects. This phenomenon is more obvious in order school children so there is an urgent desire to help these children.
Our study is aimed at developing supplementary textbooks for helping non-native Japanese school children understand classes with other Japanese children. This is especially important in language classes when non-native speakers study Japanese language in classes for native speakers. We analyzed Japanese language textbooks of primary schools in order to see the patterns or tendencies concerning the level of sentences and vocabulary. On the basis of the data, we searched for supplementary textbooks which could be useful for foreign children.
Another important consideration about Japanese is when classes are conducted in Japanese, spoken Japanese in a class situation bothers non-Japanese children more than written Japanese textbooks. In order to meet these needs, we would like to continue further studies concerning the use of Japanese both in textbooks and classes.
