Opening Up: Intercultural Communication Training for Senior High Schools in Japan

Japanese educational institutions pay attention to teaching methods which can enable students to acquire cultural awareness and positive attitudes for communication with others who are from different countries. However, English teachers in Japan have difficulties with teaching students cross-cultural communication. Intercultural training would play an important role in addressing this issue. The purpose of this study is to explore how teachers can prepare students for intercultural interaction in Japanese high schools. The paper will first explain the context and issues of intercultural learning in Japan. Subsequently, the chapter is concerned with the potential of Intercultural Communication Training, and finally practices of intercultural approach in the classroom.
