Message from the presenter
Being read aloud to is an enjoyable activity for children, and one they especially like. Reading aloud has been proven to provide various benefits such as providing children with a sense of security, enabling parents and children to share their feelings, and helping children develop language and cognitive skills. Reading aloud is strongly recommended to Japanese families living overseas to develop their children’s Japanese language ability. It’s an activity widely engaged in by overseas Japanese families and Japanese schools. In this seminar, I will aim to provide tips on how overseas Japanese families and schools can ‘turbo-charge’ children’s favorite activity of reading aloud to develop their Japanese language ability at home and in schools. I hope that seminar participants will experience the difference between ‘reading TO children’ and ‘reading WITH children’. the seminar will also provide a hands-on opportunity for parents to practice reading with children. I very much look forward to meeting you and working together with you in this seminar.
講師からのメッセージ
本の読み聞かせは、家庭でも学校でも子どもたちにとっては楽しくて、大好きなアクティビティーです。本の読み聞かせは、子どもに安心感を与え、親子の感情の共有ができる、子どもの言葉の発達を助ける、考える力が発達するなどいろいろな効果があります。海外では日本語を育てるために本の読み聞かせが奨励され、海外在住の家庭や日本語学校でよく実践されています。本セミナーでは、子どもたちの日本語を育てるために、子どもたちが大好きな本の読み聞かせという活動を家庭と日本語学校でパワーアップをすること試みたいと思います。セミナーでは、参加者の皆様に、ご家庭で実践されている「子どもに読む」タイプの読み聞かせを、「子どもと読む」タイプの読み聞かせにする実例を体験していただき、小グループに分かれて、ハンズオンで練習をしていただく予定です。セミナーでお会いし、一緒に考える機会を楽しみにしております。
Prof. Masako Douglas
Ph.D., Professor Emerita of Japanese
Japanese Program, Department of Asian and Asian American Studies, California State University, Long Beach
Prof. Douglas’s connection to Japanese heritage language education can be traced back to the days when she had to think about how to develop her US-born and raised son’s Japanese language ability. With no plans to return to Japan, Prof. Douglas’s major concern was how she could create an enjoyable and sustainable learning environment for him to learn Japanese while being educated in English at an American school. She decided to create and teach a Japanese language program run on Saturdays at the Japanese nursery school her son attended in California. She went on to create Japanese as a heritage language (JHL) classes in university Japanese programs. Prof. Douglas has centred her research and practice around curriculum design, teaching Japanese as a foreign/heritage language (JFL/JHL), and development of JHL literacy. She has conducted many workshops for JFL/JHL teachers and JHL parents. Currently, Prof. Douglas is working on designing instructional activities that assist JHL children to move from early-stage literacy, where they enjoy being read books aloud, to the next stage where they learn to read by themselves. She is also currently heavily involved in the promotion and advocacy of JHL education and heritage language education for other languages, serving as a chair of JHL SIG (Japanese as a Heritage Language Special Interest Group) of the American Association of Teachers of Japanese, a team member of the National Coalition of Community-Based Heritage Language Schools, a board member of Bilingual Multilingual Child Network, and a curriculum advisor of Orange Coast Gakuen Japanese School.

継承日本語教育を考え始めたのは、息子が米国で生まれ育つ中で、日本語の維持発達をどうするかと考えた時です。日本に帰国する予定はなく、現地の教育と並行して楽しく、持続して日本語を学ぶにはどうしたらいいかと考え、結局、息子が通う保育園で土曜日に日本語プログラムを作り
