| Research Abstract |
Following the plan of prior research, this research focuses on students' interaction among Japan, Korea, and U.S.A.via computer network. Instead of using letters and videotapes, Internet was used for their communication to insure more frequent interactions as well as usage of multimedia.
Most of schools in this study had access to Internet except an elementary school in Seoul. A few shools in U.S.A.were capable of using World Wide Web (WWW), which can send both texts and pictures.Others had to get transferred copy of "home pages" from the local universities, who are collaborating with the host university (HUTE). There are no participating middle schools from Korea this time.
The Attached Elementary School and Middle School to Hyogo University of Teacher Education had constructed their own "home pages" on Internet, and encouraged other participating students in Korea and U.S.A.Besides, the middle school student had sent e-mail messages to students in the U.S.schools. There were messages back from two schools. These interactions increased interests in intercultural awareness among students in both sides, and Japanese students became committed to use their English ability. However, three problems arose in the process of this study. 1) Because of the language barrier, elementary schools had difficulties with communicating with the other side. It required teachers a heavy load of translating Japanese into English. 2) When was proposed person-to-person communication using pictures on WWW,American parents objected because of the possible use of personal data for criminal action, such as kidnapping. 3) Using students' own interests did not result in well-organized interaction between cultures because some of them lack explanations. Accessible information databases about each other's culture are needed to encourage vigorous interaction and intercultural understandings.
