초록

The advantages of the Internet enable teachers in the world to break the communicationbarriers between their schools and collaborate with each other, giving them opportunities forricher educational practices than ever accomplished. I assume that collaborative learning likean international exchange naturally lead the students to acquire the knowledge tocommunicate with their peers using ICT skills. In this paper, two international exchangeprojects that have years of practice are reported, i.e., new types of collaborative educationprojects that the development of the Internet has enabled us to carry out. The internationalexchanges reported here have been possible because both students and teachers haveeffectively used the various functions of the Internet. To use English as a “commoninternational communication language” is particularly important for the youth in Asia, and thestudents have come to realize the importance of English as a communication languagethrough these projects. Also, since these practices are based on the infrastructure of theInternet, they have elucidated what kind of Internet use produces richer educational results .Atthe final stage of the exchanges, “joint presentation in English” is designed. Studentscommunicate and collaborate over the network, and finally meet with each other and try togive a presentation as a product of their collaborative work. The files and scenes of theirpresentations are stored on the network and used as educational materials in Asia as well asmodels for the activities in the following years. We will report how to design internationalexchange education in this Internet age.
