Takarabako is a quarterly English-language publication (June,
September, December, March) that provides information useful to Japanese-language
teachers. It is distributed to elementary and secondary teachers engaged
in Japanese language education, education for understanding Japan and global
education, mainly in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K, and U.S.
Each issue introduces and provides variety of resources and information,
with two features; a series of interview articles introducing the daily
life, lifestyle, and ways of thinking of a certain person; and a series
introducing topics about Japan. The content will include material through
which elementary and secondary school students can broaden their awareness
of language and culture and also of themselves, through understanding of
Japan and Japanese. The content will provide, at the same time, ways of
understanding Japan through the eyes of individuals as well as furnish information
about "Japan today" that may be helpful in the classroom.
Takarabakoは、日本語教師向けの英文情報誌です。年4回(6・9・12・3月)、おもにアメリカ、イギリス、オーストラリア、カナダ、ニュージーランドで日本語教育、日本理解教育、国際理解教育に関わる小中高校の教師に配布しています。
ある人物の生活、生き方、考え方などを紹介するインタビュー記事と、日本事情の紹介という2部構成で、小中高校生が、ことばや文化について、自分について、視野を広げられるような内容にしたいと考えています。また人を通して日本を理解してもらったり、現場の先生方に役立つ「今の日本」に関する情報を提供したりしたいと考えています。
