Meeting Description:

Language revitalization is also the concern of ‘bilingualism.’ A positive and
proactive approach to bilingualism helps to organize a society that contains
several languages and language communities. How is the concept of bilingualism
viewed in societies in Asia and Japan? Have views of bilingualism changed? Is
there language awareness about 'bilingualism' in schools? Is second/foreign
language education in schools viewed as a gateway to personal bilingualism or
something else? Do people recognize the various community languages around
them? There will be a panel on Deaf Sign Bilingualism:  Japanese Sign
Language, Japanese and English interpretation provided.

Attendance Fee: No Charge
Venue: Tsukuba University, Ibaraki, Japan
