  • Abstract :

Japan has the lowest rate of migrants in all OECD countries (about 1.6% of the population).  The country is characterized by "hyper-homogeneity", where the Japanese language dominates across the country.  The children issued from the migrants need support for the Japanese language for their study at school, which has recently started to be provided by par-time Japanese language teachers and supporters.  Several questions emerge: What difficulties do they face?  How do they consider the children's linguistic or cultural integration into this society?  The presenter has conducted several interviews to those teachers and supporters to answer the questions.

In this talk, the presenter will first speak about the Japanese language and the Japanese educational system seen from migrants' viewpoints, then about some results from the interview.  Their voices show that the teachers and supporters act as mediators between children's family and the school, and they witness the contradictions of the immigrant policy of Japanese government.
