Clinical Study on Development of Bilingual Curriculum in Schools for Latinos

目前在日本有90所巴西学校。他们中有不少人有日语课。但是，他们没有很好的日语教学方法，他们只注重会话技巧，而没有考虑到学科以外的内容。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。在这些学校中，我们发现保罗·弗莱雷社区学校。然而，双语课程的内容和方法还没有得到很好的研究，因此，本文的主要研究者在保罗·弗莱雷社区学校（Paulo Freire Community School）对双语教育的方法进行了分析，包括日语教学，并阐述了在该学校进行双语课程实验的“迁移”模式。“迁移模式“是指<nd>以第一语言的认知能力为基础，学习第二语言或概念<st>，创造平衡的双语学生。本研究的另一个重要成果是“社区双语教育”，我们可以从日常的临床实践中阐述这一新的概念。这意味着日本公立学校和我们中心这样的社区机构之间的合作，以培养双语儿童。

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.
