We tried to find the adaptational processes of Japanese Overseas in North America in this research. The reason is Japanese Overseas in North America are almost eighteen thousands in number at present, and these children are in every day facing with difficulties in not only mastering the foreign language (English), but also acquiring their academic achievement and identity in foreign country. We made many surveys in this research mainly in the United State and visited to have interviews with Japanese Overseas and teachers in children's schools. The results we found are (1) the length of foreign stay of Japanese Overseas is very important factor which could influence both language ability (English and Japanese) and academic achievement. However, (2) identity crisis children face in foreign country does not depend upon the length of foreign stay. They just face with various kind of identity crisises in everyday life which should be overcome by being supported by their teachers in part-time Japanese schools and their family.

在本研究中，我们试图发现日本人在北美海外的适应过程。原因是目前在北美的日本人几乎有1.8万人，这些孩子每天都面临着不仅要掌握外语(英语)，而且要在国外获得学业成就和身份认同的困难。在本研究中，我们主要在美国进行了许多调查，并走访了海外的日本人和儿童学校的老师。研究发现：(1)日本人在海外停留的时间长短是影响语言能力(英语和日语)和学业成绩的重要因素。然而，儿童在国外面临的认同危机并不取决于在国外停留的时间长短。他们在日常生活中面临着各种各样的认同危机，这些危机应该通过兼职日语学校的老师和他们的家庭的支持来克服。
