国際共修による地域文化体験型授業の構築 - インタビュー活動を通した地域住民との交流を主軸として-

Abstract

In this research, we have proposed a model of local culture experience-based classes by international co-study. Therefore, after researching the educational effect of exchange learning activities through local culture experience by high school and university collaboration, we studied the interactive exchange activities by international college students and Japanese high school students for the construction of a mutually beneficial relationship in the local area. For both international college students and Japanese high school students, understanding of different cultures, language skills and awareness of their own cultures have been promoted and mutually beneficial learning has been obtained by co-study through interactive interviews and group work activities. For the international college students, they have learned about the current situation in the local area, deepened their understanding of it and come to their opinions on the revitalization of the area by listening to the local residents about their culture. From the students’ point of view, they have proposed solutions to local issues to attempt promotion of the area. In this way, they have fostered self-awareness to be living within the local area and played an active part as members of the area. The interactive attempt is believed to lead to the establishment of a mutually beneficial relationship in the local community.
