ICT x international exchange
At Shiga Prefectural Maibara High School, 1st and 26nd year students from Maibara High School participated together with students from overseas on Friday, January 2th and Friday, February 9th, using ICT devices to learn English. The class was held.
In the class for first-year students that we featured this time, we used the English that we usually learn in class to interact with each other. At the beginning, they introduced themselves, their hobbies, and broke the ice by showing each other familiar objects that were given as a topic, which helped them get closer to the overseas students. Afterwards, we conducted interviews about foreign cultures and deepened our understanding of each other's cultures.
In addition, second-year students held a class that linked inquiry learning and English learning, and used English to present the results of the inquiry learning they were working on in their regular classes. After the presentation, the students asked questions and received feedback from the Indian students, deepening their understanding of inquiry learning.

Students' voices
The students from Yonehara High School who participated said, ``It wasn't the American or British English that we usually use in class, but English with an accent, but I think it was a good experience to learn about that part.There are people who say they have made new discoveries, such as ``Unlike regular English classes, it was really fun to actually communicate in English, and I'm very glad I had this experience.We received happy comments such as, ``They discovered the joy of actually communicating in English, and that it led to a lot of learning!''

Through practical English communication in this way, we hope that you will come into contact with different cultures, accept different values and cultures, and foster friendships that transcend differences. In addition, by combining inquiry classes and English learning, students will be able to think about the nature of SDGs and social issues, and consider what we, who live in a global world, can do to solve social issues. That's what I'm aiming for.
Finally
Our company, With The World, uses ICT to plan and operate international exchange classes at educational institutions across the country, aiming for education that can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Through international exchange using ICT, globalization has developed the ability to use English in a practical manner, the ability to understand different cultures and values, and the attitude to consider social issues around the world as one's own. You can develop the qualities required in the advancing modern society.
