About the 3rd International Scientific and Practical Conference “Japanese Language in Educational Space”

Abstract

This is a brief report about the international scientific and practical conference “Japanese Language in Educational Space”, held on March 11–13, 2021 at the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Moscow City University. The first conference on teaching the Japanese language was held in 1994 at the IAAS Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov. Later, such conferences began to be held, first, once a year, and, later, twice a year. These conferences deal with the problems of teaching the Japanese language, as well as various methodological, linguistic, and linguo-cultural issues. The organizers of this conference are Moscow City University (MGPU), the Association of Teachers of the Japanese Language of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries, and the Japan Foundation. These conferences are necessary to improve the methodological and professional level of Japanese language teachers. They are of great importance for young teachers, since there is an opportunity to listen to reports at the conference on various issues of methods of teaching the Japanese language, reports on linguistics and linguo-cultural studies. The program also includes reports in Japanese, which helps to improve the language proficiency of teachers. A collection of articles is published based on the materials of the presentations made at the conference.
