Education for Linguistically Culturally Diverse Children and Youth in Japan

This course explores situations experienced by culturally linguistically diverse students in Japan. In particular, we will focus on the construction of a normalized educational system and culture in Japan by examining political discourse, schooling environment, curriculum, instruction as well as students' daily social practices. The class considers how these factors impact individuals who may find themselves having an area of mismatch such as linguistically, culturally and physically minority students.
