| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This research project involved online intercultural exchanges between Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, and Malaysian students. The methodology involved 1) posing research questions about and attempting to understand emic cultural concepts through academic readings and discussion, 2) writing academic papers about the concepts and making animations for a website (https://interculturalwordsensei.org/), and 3) reflecting on the intercultural exchanges. The written reports and animations demonstrated improved research skills and heightened intercultural understanding. The results of these exchanges were presented at several conferences, published in an international journal and a as a book chapter.
