Integrating foreign workers through Japanese language skills

在该项目的第三年(2022财年)，在欧洲日语教师协会(AJE)第25届日语教育研讨会上进行了面对面的口头陈述，随后向AJE提交了一份报告，供2023年5月发表研讨会记录。详情见下文第10部分。研究人员继续收集与比利时(比较国)移民情况有关的数据。特别令人感兴趣的是“公民融合机构”(Agentschap Integratie En Inburgering)，该机构由佛兰德政府发起，但由独立机构经营。此外，还与比利时特恩胡特市进行了初步接触，讨论其关于移民的政策和支助战略。为此，将提交道德审查委员会的申请。目前这项工作正在准备中。此外，为了进行计划中的动机调查，研究人员继续尝试联系几个地方当局以请求合作。然而，正在进行的新冠肺炎大流行造成了对参与批准的明显不情愿。

During the third year of the project (FY2022), an in-person oral presentation was made at the 25th Japanese Language Education Symposium of the Association of Japanese Language Teachers in Europe (AJE), and subsequently a report has been submitted to AJE for the symposium proceedings to appear in May 2023. For the details, refer to part 10 below.The researcher has continued collecting data related to the immigrant situation in Belgium (country of comparison). Of particular interest is the “Agentschap Integratie en Inburgering” (Agency for Civic Integration) originated by the Flemish government but run by independently. Further, preliminary contact has been made with the city of Turnhout in Belgium to discuss its policies and support strategies regarding immigrants. For this, an ethics review board application will be submitted. This is currently under preparation.Also, in order to conduct the planned motivation survey, the researcher has continued trying to contact several local authorities to request cooperation.However, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has created an apparent reluctance towards participation approval.
