説明

Many universities have a language exchange center where international students teach their native languages to local university students who wish to learn. This study was conducted at a private university (University A) in Japan that has a language exchange center, where students can interact in person with international student language leaders. In this study, the language exchange center and an advanced-level elective English course for third- and fourth-year students collaborated for a pilot project. The following questions were explored in this study: (1) What did English as a foreign language (EFL) students learn? (2) What did the language leaders learn? (3) What are the advantages and disadvantages of this collaboration project? Questionnaires and interviews were conducted with the EFL students and language leaders. The findings showed that the collaboration was effective and meaningful for the EFL students and the language leaders. Finally, recommendations are provided for future language exchange centers and language classes based on the findings of this study.
