SUPPORT FOR JAPANESE LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN THE US - THE EDUCATION OF JAPANESE-SPEAKING AMERICANS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR NURTURING THE NEXT GENERATION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR U.S.-JAPAN RELATIONS AND FOR STRENGTHENING THE FOUNDATION OF THE U.S.-JAPAN PARTNERSHIP. WITH THIS IN MIND, THE JCAWF DECIDED TO ESTABLISH MULTIPLE PROJECTS WHICH, BY SUPPORTING JAPANESE EDUCATION IN THE U.S. IN VARIOUS WAYS, TOGETHER PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG AMERICANS TO LEARN ABOUT JAPAN AND ITS CULTURE, FOSTERING INTEREST IN JAPANESE LANGUAGE STUDY, AND ULTIMATELY PROVIDING THESE YOUTHS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO CONSIDER CAREERS THAT UTILIZE THEIR JAPANESE LANGUAGE SKILLS.
