The internet enables people to "converse" with native speakers of English, sometimes on a real-time basis. In a recent study, students at Nagano National College of Technology greatly expanded their knowledge of current American language and culture by communicating with American high school students by e-mail. Initially, this study entitled an "e-mail exchange program" with the students of Mr. Douglas, a Japanese language teacher at Curtis Senior High School in Tacoma, Washington, USA. This e-mail exchange was later supplemented by a student-produced video about Nagano College of Technology that was made for the students at Curtis Senior High School. As a result of the e-mail exchange program, the American students traveled to Nagano for a few days-long home stay. The purpose of this study was to determine how e-mail could be used to study English and to gain insight into a different culture. The information gathered about this culture was then compared to our own, Japanese Culture. This paper describes how e-mail might be used to cultivate a cross-cultural understanding between Japanese students and people of other cultures.}, pages = {117--123}, title = {E-mailを利用した異文化理解教育 : Curtis高校との交流を通しての英語教育の実践}, volume = {34}, year = {2000} }
