Instruction in the child’s mother tongue is offered for children who have transferred into a kindergarten, elementary school, or junior high school in Japan, but cannot speak Japanese, so that they can adjust to the Japanese language and school life in Japan.
Besides instruction in the Japanese-language, instructors can also provide consultation for communication between the school and family.
In the past, many children have learned Japanese through these classes and have been able to enjoy school life in Japan.
