Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the study is to explore what type of education in foreign language learning would develop language learners’ curiosities about foreign countries in growing globalization and internationalization of the world. The reason why students studied abroad and why others didn’t were investigated by interviews and questionnaires. The forum site has been established to make Japanese students with foreign students in the course. Changes of students’ recognition of Japan and their partners' countries were found. It was also clarified that this interaction on the forum site has raised many students' curiosity about foreign countries.
