Query: Accessibility and accommodation issues and Japanese language learning
Is anyone aware of scholarships on Japanese language pedagogy and accessibility and accommodation issues in the classroom? Has work been done on how to create more flexible Japanese language curricula, universal design, and/or the increasing requests for accommodations from students of Japanese? I would appreciate links and/or citations to work in both English and Japanese.
