The Office for Promoting a Diversity Research Environment,"Support for holding research meetings and other events by female researchers" (Applications for the 2021 academic year are now closed)To that end, we aim to promote a university-wide diverse research environment and increase the number of female researchers who take on research leadership and university management roles, and we provide support for research meetings and other initiatives held within the university.
With this support, the KNIT Joint Research Grant Team will be holding a symposium, which is detailed below.
******************************
With the increasing number of foreign residents, the scope of Japanese language education has expanded significantly beyond the traditional framework of educational institutions, and the expected content has also diversified.
This symposium will bring together people involved in Japanese language education in various settings throughout Hokkaido to share their daily frustrations and discuss these frustrations with experts. We hope that the symposium will provide an opportunity for participants to resolve their frustrations.
