ABSTRACT

This study is an empirical research that investigates online classes with different subjects taught by the industry - university - government specialists who do not have professional Japanese language teaching backgrounds in the partner universities of Japan, Korea and China. The syllabus is designed to let the Japanese language learners of these countries take classes about the Japanese society by these specialists and have discussions afterwards by using Skype which is connected by personal computers or mobile computers. As a result, the study reveals that exchanges can be deepened while the students of the three universities are taking the same class at the same time, and are easily connected to each other by computers in their common classrooms. There are four advantages already confirmed through the cooperative online classes as follows. 1. It is possible to interact among the Japanese language learners of several countries and the native speakers of Japanese in real time. 2. It is possible for the students of the three countries to attend the omnibus online classes given by teachers without professional Japanese language teaching backgrounds. 3. It is possible to obtain information about a partner university before going to study there, and build a connection with the teachers and students of the partner university. 4. It is possible to attend special classes of a Japanese university. It is important to build a unit accreditation system as well as a double degree system for online Japanese language education in the future between the partner universities connected by Skype and at the same time to create a pleasant environment in which online lectures can be carried out smoothly, even in common classrooms. In addition, it is also important not to just dispatch information from one county, but to deepen exchange relationships through online talks between the partner universities making full use of the characteristics of each country.
