     More details

    This research aims to critically examine Japan’s language policy regarding Japanese Sign Language (JSL) and the Deaf community. By analyzing the historical evolution of shuwa, the study evaluates the persistent tension between oralist and manualist educational approaches while highlighting the lack of legal recognition for JSL as an indigenous language. Key objectives include investigating the systemic challenges in implementing bilingual education, such as teacher qualifications and instructional methods. Furthermore, the research seeks to clarify the pedagogical and policymaking confusion caused by the ambiguous use of the term "shuwa" and assesses the contemporary impact of regional dialects and cochlear implants on linguistic rights and accessibility.

    Outcome:

    2023
