The differences in support resources between Chinese students in Japanese language schools and Chinese students attending college: An analysis of support received in terms of conditions, types, and areas

Abstract

The present study employed two surveys to examine the differences between Chinese students in Japanese language schools in Japan, who have limited support resources, and Chinese students attending college in Japan. In the first study, a retrospective comparison revealed that there were fewer received support resources for Chinese students in Japanese language schools. The second study, using a longitudinal comparison, found that Chinese students in Japanese language schools perceived to have fewer support resources, and that they were more concentrated in the school. Therefore, it was confirmed that there were fewer support resources for Chinese students in Japanese language schools, and they were concentrated in the school. In addition, all the comparisons of support received were done by the six conditions, three types, two areas, and total score.
