Summary: The Japan Foundation, Los Angeles has launched a new website (<keishonihongo.org>) wholly dedicated to supporting parents and teachers of Japanese heritage language learners.
In America, children who speak Japanese at home are considered Japanese heritage language learners. These children may live in areas with little access to Japanese-language classes, much less ones with curricula tailored to their unique experiences and skillsets.
To help serve their needs, JFLA has launched keishonihongo.org, an online platform for parents and teachers of Japanese heritage language learners.
Keisho Nihongo pools from the knowledge of The Japan Foundation, Los Angeles, and the Keisho Nihongo Special Advisory Committee, consisting of three experts in the field of Japanese heritage language education. The site includes a nationwide map of heritage language programs, in addition to a curated list of educational materials and resources for teachers and guardians. There is also a community forum and a page highlighting exemplary heritage language programs.
Keisho Nihongo is available in both English and Japanese, so please visit today!
