| Research Abstract |
Before a compulsory education system for foreign children is started, we must prepare for such a situation by changing our educational environment to administer the system properly. Based on our related research, we concluded the following, a part of which has already been administered by local governments.
(1) An educational system in which foreign children can learn Japanese language before entering school is indispensable.
(2) Before foreign children and their parents come to Japan, parents should at least understand the Japanese school system to ease preparations to receive children from overseas. Our research group revised the explanatory booklet that was originally published by Ota Asahi Elementary School, Gunma, Japan, and informed the public about it.
(3) In light of the accumulated Japanese language teaching experiences at an elementary school in Sakai, Isesaki, Gunma, our research group published a basic Japanese textbook for children : Yattemiyou! Nihongo Kantan.
(4) When specia

l-needs schools or classes accept foreign children, the schools and classes must be prepared to communicate in the children's native language.
(5) Irrespective of the children's and their parents' expectations of whether they are going to return to their country or stay in Japan permanently, it would be effective for them to be informed during the elementary school years how valuable it is for the children to attend high school.
(6) It is necessary for foreign children's parents who have just come to Japan to receive a clear explanation of differences between Japanese school culture and South American culture, such as the costs of school lunch meals and course materials, and ways to regard their children's athletic events. Furthermore, it is desired that parents receive explanations from principals that a school is not a day-care center for children. In situations when only one foreign child's parent, especially the mother, is foreign and is unable to communicate in Japanese, some problems about the child's language and academic ability might occur. To prevent such cases, we must construct a support system.
(7) Pursuing an ideal program of teacher training for those who are in charge of foreign students, a member of our research group at the Professional School for Teacher Education of Gunma University recorded the graduate courses in multicultural symbiosis and published it in report form. We also attempted a comparison of the contents of such education at the Gunma University with that at the Aichi University of Education. Less
