Paper Abstract:
|
The significance of intercultural communication has steadily increased in today's global era. However, partly due to Japan's
remote geographic location, it is difficult for Japanese people to travel abroad; this is especially true for the younger
generations. Since 2020, we have been conducting the Students Meet Internationally through Learning English (SMILE)
project to offer opportunities for Japanese students to communicate with other students living in foreign countries. In the
SMILE project, students use the online meeting tools to communicate with each other and the Dialogbook, which was
developed as a learning portfolio system, to record and support their learning activities. This paper provides an overview
of the project and explains the current situation. |
