| Outline of Research at the Start |
Broadly speaking, in the 1st year of the project it is intended that a review of the most recent relevant research will be undertaken. A research group will be formed, and an internet presence created. In the 2nd year, it is intended that the exchanges with EFL countries will be broadened and a greater focus on specific outcomes will be investigated. In the 3rd year, it is planned to continue to develop the exchanges with all countries, and if feasible create and publish templates and guides which can be used by other educators and researchers.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We have engaged in two exchanges with professors and students in other countries: Parsons with professors and students in China and Spain, Walker with professors and students in Japan and the USA. It is hoped that these collaborations will continue and that others will be developed in 2024.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
An initial presentation has been given at a seminar in Zhuhai in China (see below). Research papers are currently being written on data gathered from the projects conducted in 2023. It is anticipated that they will be published in 2024 and 2025.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
It is planned that multiple virtual exchanges will be conducted between Japanese students and students in countries such as China, Spain, the USA and Azerbaijan, and that future collaborations with other countries can be planned.
Presentations will be made at conferences and symposia in both Japan and abroad. It is planned that research papers based upon the collaborations will published in academic journals and books.
It is planned that a website supporting the project will be established to serve as a hub for researchers and students.
We also plan to investigate the potential benefits of AI (e.g. ChatGPT) in English language acquisition and in conducting virtual exchanges.
