Language　Support

At the　request　of the Mitaka School Board, MISHOP dispatches trained　volunteers　to offer support for students transferring into local elementary and junior high schools from　other　countries.
　
Foreign children and students　feel stress when trying to adapt to a　new　environment　without language skills. Moreover, acquiring academic skills is an important issue as it will determine their future courses of study and careers.

Support for children and students is provided through one-on-one Japanese language instruction in a separate classroom, with a focus on acquiring foundational language skills.

This program is implemented after discussions by the child's guardians, school, and persons concerned to determine the manner of support.

The necessity for this　support　is　determined by the school　and　Mitaka School Board，so　any　request for dispatching volunteers should first be made to the teacher in charge at the school attended.．
