Fujimi Junior High School Support Team

The goal of Fujimi Junior High School Support Team is to provide foreign students attending Fujimi Junior High School customized multilingual communication support using the Language Grid.

Many foreign students at Fujimi Junior High School do not speak fluent Japanese, and they are in need of multilingual communication support. To help these students, the school offers Japanese classes to these foreign students. The Fujimi Junior High School Support Team aims to help these students with everyday communication and learning by providing multilingual communication applications tailored to their needs. As a result, the Fujimi Junior High School Support Team has developed a multilingual chat system customized to Fujimi Junior High School on the Language Grid Playground. The multilingual chat system assists communication between foreign students and teachers, foreign students and Japanese students, foreign students and foreign students, and teachers and foreign student's parents.

Based on the real-world usages and findings obtained from the Fujimi Junior High School's case, the Team aims to design and build specialized tools tailored to school environment in the future.
