Introduction

The JSL (Japanese as a Second Language) Research Division focuses on the acquisition of Japanese by non-native speakers, i.e. learners of Japanese as a second/foreign language. In addition to producing purely linguistic descriptions and analyses, it also seeks to clarify the nature of social and cultural problems that non-native learners are likely to face in the process of adjusting themselves to Japanese society.
