Introduction
Mother tongue and national language education for transnational migrant children (MICLE Project) aims to research and enhance opportunities for Japan based migrant children to learn their mother tongue and the language of their country of origin.

ACTIVITIES AND METHODS
Fact-finding Survey

(1) Exchange between the teachers and students of supplementary language classes in Japan, as well as with visitors to the supplementary classes
(2) Online exchange sessions between the teachers and students of Nepali language supplementary classes in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka
(3) Study visits of two Nepalese school teachers to Japan

Policy Proposals
In Japan: How can we involve the local governments and people of host countries in organizing supplementary classes for migrant children to learn their mother tongues or the national languages of their mother countries? How can we utilize such supplementary classes as a base to practice genuine "multicultural coexistence" in Japan?
In Nepal: How can we support the governments and people of Nepal to produce Nepali textbooks for the children of Nepali migrants specifically?
