Addressing the Global Challenge of Educational Inequality: Supporting Children’s Early Learning and Language Development in Culturally Diverse Contexts in the Home and Early Years Settings
本共同研究の背景と目的
Brief background and the aim of the project
就学前の幼児期の言語発達がその後の教育達成と強い関連性があること、好ましい学習経験を育む上で（家庭内外の）環境が重要な役割を果たすことが研究で示されています（Law et al, 2017; Sylva et al 2012 ）。中でも、母国語と学校や幼稚園などの言語が異なる子どもにとっては、早期学習と言語発達の支援は特に重要です。しかし、日本でもイギリスでも、園や学校が文化的・言語的にますます多様化しているにもかかわらず、就学に向けて多様な背景を持つ子どもたちを支援するための適切な準備を行なっている幼児教育・保育施設は非常に限定的です。
そこで、本共同プロジェクトでは、下記の目的を掲げて研究を行なうことになりました：
Research shows that early language development during the preschool years is strongly associated with later educational achievement, and the important role of the environment (in and outside the home) in fostering positive learning experiences (Law et al, 2017; Sylva et al 2012). Supporting early learning and language development in culturally diverse contexts is especially crucial for children whose home language is different from the language used in formal learning settings such as a school or preschool. However, even though preschools and schools have become increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse in both Japan and England, few early years settings (less than 5% in Japan) are able to effectively cater for children from culturally diverse backgrounds, particularly those with home languages different from their formal learning language.
