Clinical Study on Development of Bilingual Curriculum in Schools for Latinos

如今，在日本有90所巴西学校。他们中有不少人上日语课。但是，他们没有很好的日语教学方法，他们专注于会话技巧，而不考虑课外的内容。另一方面，有一些巴西学校假装用良好的双语课程培养双语学生。在这些学校里，我们发现了保罗·弗莱雷社区学校。遗憾的是，我们并没有很好地研究双语课程的内容和方法。随后，首席调查员在paul Freire社区学校工作，分析了包括日语教学在内的双语教学方法，并以“迁移”模式阐述了新的双语课程，并在该学校进行了实验。“迁移模式”是指基于1^< 1 >语言的认知能力来学习2^< 1 >语言或概念，能够创造平衡的双语学生。本研究的另一个重要成果可能是“社区双语教育”，我们可以从我们的日常临床实践中阐述为新的概念。这意味着在日本公立学校和像我们中心这样的社区机构之间合作，创造双语儿童。

Today there are 90 Brazilian schools in Japan. Not small percentage of them have Japanese language classes. But, they don't have good method of teaching Japanese and they are focusing on the conversation skills without consideration to the content off discipline. On the other side, there are some Brazilian schools that pretend to create bilingual student with good bilingual program. In those schools, we find Paulo Freire Community School. Unfortunately we have not studied well the content and method of bilingual curriculum.Then, the head investigator, working in Paulo Freire Community School, analyzed the method of bilingual education, including Japanese language instruction, and elaborated new bilingual curriculum with "transfer" model to experiment in that school."Transfer model "means to learn 2^<nd> language or concepts based on the cognitive capability of 1^<st> language that can create balances bilingual student.Another important result of this research may be "Community Bilingual Education" that we could elaborate as new concept from our daily clinical practice. It means collaboration for create bilingual children between Japanese public school and community institutions like our center.
