A new issue has been recognized in the education for minority-language children, which is how to adapt them to their own class. This research focuses on the scaffoldings by mother-tongue supporters assisting the minority-language children in the classes. Through the examination of the results, it turns out that those supporters assist the children to take part in their classes by using scaffoldings which promote the children's understanding of the lessons, improving oral and writing ability in Japanese, and acquiring learning strategies. Furthermore, they mediate between the children and their teachers, and encourage the children's learning motivation. Mother-tongue supporters are likely to be considered as "interpreter of the teacher". However, it is recognized that they assist language minority children more independently and creatively considering the procedure in the classes.
