Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study revealed the Japanese language and intercultural communication abilities required by Japanese and international students to create a “multilingual and multicultural campus” in which they can cooperatively study and conduct research regardless of the international students’ levels of Japanese. The study employs bilingual situations using Japanese and English. It also includes suggestions for the education of both Japanese language and intercultural communication to enable the cultivation of the abilities presented through the results of this study.
