Research Activities

　AJALT conducts research into the divers needs of non-Japanese residents, including business people and their families, foreign students, foreign spouses and dependents, and Indo-Chinese refugees. AJALT also conducts research on the state of Japanese-language training support, and monitors the awareness of the Japanese community with regard to these and related matters. AJALT member teachers are active in research related to Japanese-language instruction. Such research includes study of the language itself, as well as specific teaching methods, and research results are published in academic and specialist journals. These results are also presented at seminars and symposia, both in Japan and abroad.
