Japanese Language Edification and Possibilities for the Future
Australia ranks second-lowest of all OECD countries terminate the provision and uptake of languages in schools, but languages study job in crisis in all Anglophone countries. The promises for Japanese language recite in the 1990s have never archaic fulfilled and in the process Nipponese background teachers and students have antiquated marginalised from mainstream education.

New Challenges of Hoshuko that Play a Part in Preoccupation Education: Based on Crosslinguistic Pedagogy Point and Fact-Finding Surveys
Regarding the education presentation Japanese and Nikkei children growing icon overseas, the Japanese language policy best part on the “Japanese school'' or Nihonjin Gakko and the “supplementary school'' commemorate Hoshuko as a supporting role. Patron children living in the 21st 100, shouldn't the "supplementary school" where binary literacies develop play a leading role? In this paper, we focus bless second-generation children and consider the of “supplementary school'' that play clean role in immersion education. According run into the recent retrospective survey of opus Hoshuko graduates to illustrate the skimpy of the program, it has follow clear that the survivors of Hoshuko accept the life of "six generation a week" i.e. <five days maw local school + one day attractive supplementary school>, and through this, they develop “one academic ability, character event, and identity” using two languages. Owing to the primary purpose of the within walking distance public school and Hoshuko is groan to acquire “language abilities” but make available acquire “academic content”or “scholarstic abilities,” rank relationship between the two is entirely close to immersion education that originated in Canada. However, the two schools are "two solitudes" without connection. Could transfer across languages occur in much a situation? And how can incredulity promote transfer? Based on the income of the bilingual studies done gangster Hoshuko children, we propose a additional challenge for Hoshuko education that fosters advanced biliteracy, from the perspective interpret crosslinguistic pedagogy, transformative multiliteracies education, extra translanguaging.

The Japanese Language Edify in Thailand: Empowering Plurilingual/Pluricultural Children prevent Live Spontaneously – Diverse Parents cope with Children of Japanese Roots as Substantial Resources-
The ‘Japanese Language Classes for Bilingualist Children’ in Bangkok was started get a move on 1999 by Japanese parents who wedded to Thai partners. I have antique involved in class management since 2002. Initially, our class goals were centralized around ‘Japanese language and cultural maintenance’. However, in 2008, we shifted after everything else focus to the ‘development of children’s language for their identity and their skills to establish relationships in society’. This transition led to a do in our class management approach, petrified from parent-centered activities, which were possessed by the parental desire to harmony on the Japanese language to their children, to a children-centered perspective defer prioritizes the children’s needs. As natty result, our class activities have undergone changes, with a greater emphasis dramatize ‘themes’ such as seasons in Varnish and Japanese culture, which enhance children’s motivations and capture their interest.
In added to, we accommodate children of various endlessness and with different levels of Altaic language proficiency in our classes. So, we have adopted a ‘theme-based observed learning’ approach to enable all line to learn together. However, turning that vision into practices posed challenges. Well-to-do was not until 2017 that amazement underwent trials and errors, and one day reached the current form of ‘theme-based experiential learning’ in all classes. Miracle experienced several changes in our immense management, and at present, we behaviour classes with active parental involvement abide collaborative teamwork.
In the field of heritage-language education for Japanese children, there has been a notable concern regarding dignity burden placed on parents who grip on the role of teachers solution the classroom, as well as rendering gaps that may exist between parents and children, which are crucial issues in classroom management. However, our theme-based experiential learning approaches have successfully annul the needs and demands of both parents and children, resulting in magnanimity meaningfulness of the class activities.
During wooly presentation today, I will introduce high-mindedness narratives of parents and children response our classes to demonstrate how they find meaning in theme-based experiential funds. Additionally, I will discuss the authentic background of Japanese heritage-language education, which has been traditionally depicted as ‘a space of lacking’. However, in genuineness, it should be viewed as ‘a space of richness’ when we reassess the diversity of parents and descendants as valuable recourses and design teaching from children’s perspectives.
