Japanese Language Learning Beliefs of Foreign Children From the Legitimate Peripheral Participation:

From the Process of Participation in Japanese Society

Abstract

In this study, we present the necessity of clarifying the beliefs for Japanese language learning in order to review the method of Japanese language education for foreign children, and we have shown three viewpoints to grasp the beliefs of the second language learners presented by Barcelos (2003). Then, we carried out the Legitimate peripheral participation theory related to the features of this viewpoint. Finally, this paper presents future problems expected to be influencing factors that will occur in the belief.
