Brazilian-Japanese children in Japanese elementary and secondary schools are said to be experiencing learning difficulty. In the present research project it was hypothesized that these children would benefit from the CAI courseware if they were given the mother language version of the CAI courseware that have proved to greatly increase Japanese school children's understanding and achievement.The project was carried out in the following sequence : 1)The original Japanese arithmetic courseware was translated into three languages(English, Portuguese(Brazilian), and Spanish) by native speakers. The courseware materials were made in each of these languages along with Japanese (referred to as 'translated version'). 2)The translated version was tried with a few children with each language background to make necessary revision. 3)35 children at School A in Toyoda, Aichi were given the translated version to study with it.The following are the finding. i)The homeroom teachers reported that when … More the Brazilian - Japanese children worked with the original CAI courseware(in Japanese), they showed the similar positire attitude toward the material and worked very actively just as other Japanese classmates, even though it took much longer to work through the material. ii)When the Brazilian - Japanese children were made to work with the translated version (in Brazilian and Japanese), a) all the first and second graders rejected it and did not study, b) the third and fourth graders did not reject but worked very reluctantly, and c) one of the two fifth graders who had studied in Brazil up to the fourth grade showed much interest in the courseware and worked willingly, while the other worked reluctantly.All Brazilian - Japanese children except one were not competent in Brazilian. In their daily life they mostly use Japanese. However, due to their bilingual family background, they lack fluency in Japanese. Also, their home - study patterns including adult support seem to be different from ordinary Japanese families. These two are considered to be the cause of learning difficulty of Brazilian - Japanese children. Less

据说日本中小学的巴西裔日本儿童正在经历学习困难。在目前的研究项目中，假设如果给这些孩子提供 CAI 课件的母语版本，这些课件将受益于 CAI 课件，事实证明，这些课件可以极大地提高日本学童的理解力和成绩。该项目按以下顺序进行：1）将原始的日语算术课件由母语人士翻译成三种语言（英语、葡萄牙语（巴西）和西班牙语）。课件材料是用这些语言和日语制作的（称为“翻译版本”）。 2）翻译后的版本由不同语言背景的几位孩子进行尝试，进行必要的修改。 3）爱知县丰田市A学校的35名孩子获得了翻译版并进行了学习。结果如下。 i)班主任报告说，当巴西裔日本孩子使用原始的 CAI 课件（日语）时，他们对材料表现出类似的积极态度，并且像其他日本同学一样非常积极地学习，尽管完成材料的时间要长得多。 ii)当巴西-日本儿童被要求使用翻译版本（巴西语和日语）时，a）所有一年级和二年级学生都拒绝并没有学习，b）三四年级学生没有拒绝但非常不情愿地工作，c）在巴西学习到四年级的两名五年级学生中的一个对课件表现出很大的兴趣并愿意工作，而另一个则不情愿地工作。 除了一名孩子外，其他孩子都不懂巴西语。在日常生活中，他们主要使用日语。但由于双语家庭背景，他们的日语并不流利。而且，他们的家庭学习模式（包括成人支持）似乎与普通日本家庭不同。这两个被认为是巴西-日本儿童学习困难的原因。较少的
