"WorldClassroom brought a change to students in their future career"
Mr. Hideaki Chinen (English Teacher)
Yokatsu H.S. in Okinawa
Not only nurture students’ attitudes toward understanding different cultures but also I could bring up students’ motivation in learning English through international cultural exchange with Thailand. Since this online cultural exchange broadened those junior students’ horizons, there was a change in their career paths after graduation!
"Students found a value in communicating in their second language."
Ms. Nazan Nak (English Teacher)
Şehremini H.S. in Turkey
Students can use language in a real context, in a real-life setting. They earned confidence in speaking in English. With the program, they had a chance to practice English. Also, students are very much interested in learning about Japan. English is not a subject! Learning language is regarding finding value in communicating with the language.
"Wonderful to exchange ideas and culture"
Ms. Cindy Chiang (English Teacher)

It's really wonderful to watch students speaking English and exchanging ideas and culture. The cross-cultural experience is important since students may work with people who have different cultural backgrounds in the future.

It’s an interesting experience. Thanks for holding the activity. I had an unforgettable talk with my partners. Although we can’t talk to each other fluently, we knew what they were trying to convey. I thought we succeeded!
