| 研究実績の概要 |
This year, we increased the number of synchronous virtual exchange (VE) courses to three semester-long courses, and four asynchronous VE month-long courses with the US, North Macedonia, and Peru. Domestic virtual exchange on internationalisation was also conducted by university students for high school students. Data was collected from all new first year students as a baseline, students from the three synchronous VE courses, and student taking two of the asynchronous VE courses.
In addition to quantitative data, reflections from participating students were also collected and analyzed. We presented our results at Global Partners in Education conference at East Carolina University,in North Carolina, USA and at the Japan Association of Language Teachers, Tsukuba, Japan.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
Our synchronous and asynchronous courses are well populated and we have collected pre-course post-course quantitative data and multiple sources of qualitative data. We showed that synchronous VE is much more effective than asynchronous VE.
However, post Covid student mobility has increased and there is less demand for voluntary VE in the form of language partners and domestic VE. We found that the instrument we chose is time consuming for students and teachers, and we will look for a new tool this year. Throughout 2023 we planned for the Global Partners in Education conference, the annual meeting of researchers, faculty, and technical support staff engaged in VE through this network.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
This year we have three synchronous VE courses, and four month-long asynchronous courses. Two faculty will teach them for the first time, adding to the sustainability of our VE. Quantitative data, interviews, and reflections will be collected. Students who took part in VE will present alongside faculty at the Global Partners in Education conference to be held in May 2024 in Japan for the first time. Domestic virtual exchange concerning study abroad will be conducted once a month. Deeper exchange with a Polish institution is planned to enhance our engagement with Europe. We hope to present at the JALT International Conference in November to share our findings domestically, and intend to write a paper on our three-year project.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
① The instrument we are using to collect quantitative data costs around 400,000 yen for one year's use.
② In May we will host an international conference on virtual exchange. Delegates from our virtual network will travel to Shimane to meet face-to-face. We will invite a Polish researcher, from an institution that we have linked with since 2015. This will cost over 200,000 yen.
③ We will present our research domestically and travel to do so. This will cost around 300,000 yen.
