Outline of Research at the Start

This study explores the ways to enhance the intercultural communication skills of students in Japan by redesigning traditional online language exchanges (known as tele-collaboration) and incorporating the inquiry-based learning methods. As part of this study, the researcher will create several pilot courses at CEGLOC (Univ.Tsukuba) in which students will systematically interact with peers in foreign partner-universities via video-conferencing applications and conduct joint inquire-based projects aimed at better understanding each other’s culture and norms of communication.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study explored inquiry-based strategies in developing students’ intra-cultural awareness to enhance intercultural communication. A quasi-experimental design (n=112) was developed to assess the effectiveness of inquiry-based telecollaboration in two groups. Quantitative results indicated that while several outcomes on telecollaborative tasks and intra-cultural learning were not significantly different across conditions, students learning in an inquiry-based environment reported higher levels of engagement and confidence toward intercultural communication. Qualitative results showed deeper intra-cultural learning in experimental group. The findings suggest that the integration of an inquiry-based framework could have additional positive effects on learner engagement, deeper learning, and confidence toward intercultural communication.
