Abstract
This study explores a new class model for Cross-Cultural Distance Learning (CCDL). Namseoul University (NSU) has participated in a CCDL project since the second semester of 2005, and has observed some very successful results. However, it was found from the results that the traditional CCDL method has some problems, so it was proposed that we attempt to solve these. Therefore, NSU and Waseda University (WU) adopted a new class model for CCDL from the second semester of 2006. In this context, the research explained in this paper had three purposes: i) to explain the class contents and procedure of the new CCDL model; ii) to prove the good points of new model through examining student response; and iii) to suggest ways of improving the new CCDL model, in addition to offering advice on how to use it. As the results of the student responses show, this new CCDL model is very effective in helping students enhance their confidence in using English. It also helps them to understand Japanese culture and people, and to improve their general English abilities. In conclusion, this new class model is suggested as a good model for developing Cross-Cultural Distance Learning.
