Abstract
In two academic years (from December 2007-March 2008, and December 2008-March 2009), students studying English at a Japanese university and about Japanese culture at an American university exchanged messages in small groups through electronic media to improve their communication skills and knowledge of culture. This paper reviews the project, outcomes, improvements, and its possible future application.
