The 2020 conference of the Japanese Society for Mother Tongue, Heritage Language, and Bilingual Education (MHB) will be held entirely ONLINE this year. The aim of MHB is to explore language education methods, theories, and research methods related to how infants, children, students, and other learners in multilingual environments in Japan and abroad can acquire multilingual skills including those of reading and writing. With the theme of “Language assessment and education for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) children”, the 2020 conference includes a keynote lecture, workshops, and research presentations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all programs will be ONLINE. We hope this will facilitate the participation of members and prospective members from inside and outside of Japan.
Please see below for further details. We are looking forward to your participation in this conference.
