Teacher and student impressions
| Teacher | I was impressed that we could have an exchange with Australian students. The students seemed to enjoy participating. I would be happy if the students’ English study and motivation and interest toward international understanding was enhanced through an increase in such opportunities. |
|---|---|
| Student | It was my first time to talk to people my age in another country, so it was all exciting and fun. There were some things I wanted to communicate, but I couldn’t do it well, so I want to study English harder, and someday, broaden my horizons by talking to people from different countries. |
| Student | I was happy that my English was understood by the Australian students. I experienced a valuable international exchange in which we introduced yukata and calligraphy, etc. From now on, I want to be able to speak English more. |
Flow from exchange planning to implementation date (Prior preparation, etc.)
| Events leading to online exchange | First, I received an exchange request from a high school teacher in Australia. I approached KOEI VERITAS Senior High School, which has a clear vision toward global education, and this led to an exchange between both schools. (Response by the person in charge in Chiba Prefecture) |
|---|---|
| Date of approach | June 23rd |
| Start date of meeting with partner school | June 28th |
| Date of decision for exchange implementation | June 29th |
| Prior preparation | Nothing in particular |
| Teachers’ roles (Japanese side) | Divison of roles of participating students (MC and calligraphy performance) |
| Roles of the person in charge in the local authority (Japanese side) | Exchange content proposal, coordination with the Australian school, loaning of equipment |
| Tool used | Zoom |
Future plans
Next implementation schedule: There are plans for another online exchange with Moruya High School in March. In the future, online exchanges will be held once every term (2-3 times a year), and we hope this will lead to educational travel to Japan once the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
