PRESS RELEASE 米国グレートフォールズ小学校訪日団の支援の件 【実施日時：2010年7月13日（火）午後２時半～5時半】 今夏、米国バージニア州フェアファックス郡で日本語イマーション・プログラムを導入しているグレートフォールズ公立小学校 http://www.fcps.edu/GreatFallsES/の生徒・父兄による卒業記念の訪日旅行が行われました。これは15年以上も続く恒例の自主行事で、今回は7月２～14日にかけて実施され、参加者は生徒11名、父兄10名。福山市にある姉妹校の広島加計学園 英数学館小学校の訪問を含め、日本各地を訪れて帰国前日に東京に戻ってきました。 CEPEXでは2005年の設立以来、日本語教育のテコ入れを願ってフェアファックス郡の日本語イマーション・プログラムへの支援活動を続けていますが、近年、米国では財政難から日本語教育の廃止・縮小が顕著です。そこで今回は最終日に、総理官邸、外務省、文科省、駐日米国大使への表敬をアレンジして、同プログラムへの支援協力をアピールしました。午後の3時間強で4か所を回る慌ただしいスケジュールでしたが、各訪問先で小学６年生を終えたばかりの生徒たちは日本語で自己紹介を行い、卒業式の定番曲「桜の栞」を合唱しました。今回の取組みには古川内閣官房副長官、ルース米国大使、門司外務省広報文化交流部長、中川文部科学副大臣をはじめ大勢の関係者の皆さまから絶大なるご協力を頂き、日米の次世代の懸け橋を、日米官民学NGOが共同して支援するイベントとなりました。ここに厚く御礼申し上げます。 CEPEX 理事長 多田幸雄 グレートフォールズ小学校の訪日団名簿 父兄【10名】 生徒【11名】 Great Falls Elementary School Trip Roster Parents/ Guardians (10) Students (11) 1 Greg Apostolou Alexis Apostolou 2 Eugene Canfield Jonathan Canfield 3 Chad Fredrick Rebecca Canfield 4 Jennifer Fredrick Robert Fredrick 5 Charlotte Johnson Erin Fredrick 6 Rene Doucet Mark Johnson 7 […]
