Abstract

Higher education institutions are offering many study abroad programs for Japanese university students for them to build their global talents. However, international exchange programs with international students in Japan are also thought to play an important role in building Japanese students’ global talents. In this study, the relationship between inward-oriented students and international exchange was discussed. The problems and merits of international exchange were examined, and inward-oriented students and outward-oriented students were compared. There were no differences in their willingness or in their experiences of international exchange. However, inward-oriented students felt more anxious about the difference in cultures and about having relationships with international students. On the other hand, outward-oriented students thought that they will be able to build their international sensibility through international exchange and that it will be an experience which will help them with their career. The importance of presenting the students with enough information about the good aspects and cautions of international exchange is emphasized especially to decrease the anxiousness of inward-oriented students.
