Teamwork between parents and teachers to support children’s learning of Japanese as community language
できることからはじめようー繋生語をサポートするおうちと先生の二人三脚ー
|
The recent Australia-wide ANJCL interview study revealed that children who have connections with Japan and learn Japanese as community language need a variety of support.
|
In this seminar, we will discuss how important it is for such support to be provided not only by parents themselves but also through teamwork between parents and teachers.
|
Based on this idea, the presenters and the audience will share their experiences, knowledge and advice on how to support children’s learning.
|
4pm-6pm AEDT | This event will be held online via Zoom (web conference system).
