Japanese Educators' Movement Experiences -Transformation of Research and Education as Seen from Life Story Research-

The number of foreign students moving to Japan from abroad has increased. At the same time, there are many Japanese language teachers who move around the world. Not only foreign students, Japanese language educators also experience migration for various reasons such as domestic transfer, overseas movement, and returning back to Japan. Therefore, this research will clarify what kind of things can be specifically mentioned as the influence of the movement of Japanese language teachers on research and education. Also, it will clarify the process of change of the influence and "the relationship between research, education and movement" in time series. By clarifying the narrative experienced by the moved teacher, sharing the influence on the new affiliation organization, the viewpoint of the research and the contribution to the practical education, and so on, it is possible to know the transformation of Japanese language educators’ research anf educaion. In addition, we aim for a multicultural Japanese society that is becoming more complex and diversifying daily by obtaining narratives on how research and education are affecting the difficulties, historical backgrounds and social norms that are hidden in the movement, and is also possible to send out various messages. Then, it can be decided to clarify the transformation process and importance of research and education that "the influence of migration" can make recommendations to the Japanese language education world in the future.
