A Study on Multilingual and Multicultural Literacy Education: Suggestions for Language Education in Japan

在瑞士，教育系统是分散的，每个州都以CEFR为基础开展语言教育，其指导原则是多种语言。对热内夫州和巴塞尔-斯塔特州先进案例的研究揭示了一个共同的特点：它们的语言教育目的正在从移民融合转向对所有儿童的教育。它们强调(1)促进儿童的社会化，(2)获得和改进CALP，(3)尊重儿童的母语或遗产语言和文化，(4)培养跨文化能力，以及(5)培养语言意识和对不同语言和文化的开放态度。为了实现这些目的，它们为融合教育和学校语言与学科之间的密切关系以及SprachProfile和教学方法制定了正式的教学指导方针。这些案例对日本未来的语言教育具有参考价值和指导意义。

In Switzerland, the educational system is decentralized, with each canton conducting language education based on CEFR, the guiding principle of which is plurilingualism. Research on the advanced cases of Cantons Geneve and Basel-Stadt revealed a common feature: their purpose of language education has been shifting from integration of immigrants to education for all children. They emphasize (1) promoting children's socialization, (2) acquiring and improving CALP, (3) respecting children's mother tongues or heritage languages and cultures, (4) fostering intercultural competence, and (5) cultivating language awareness and open attitudes to different languages and cultures. To achieve these purposes, they have developed official teaching guidelines for integrated education and for close relationships among languages and subjects in schools, as well as Sprachprofile and teaching methodologies. These cases are informative and instructive for future language education in Japan.
