This study focuses on connecting professors and students between sisteruniversities using remote technology. For this study, a readily available method,Skype technology, was used to communicate. In addition, this study used TeamViewer (PC remote control software) and showed a Japanese instructor on the screenat the front of the class. The students in the 'Japanese Communication 1' class, upper-intermediate levelJapanese major class, were to carry out seven different video calls on differentsubjects with counterparts including professors of a sister university in Japan,exchange students living in Japan, and local residents in Japan. Before and aftereach of the video calls, students were taught how to ask and answer in moreappropriate Japanese from the class instructor. By joining this class with the videocall, using Skype, with the sister University in Japan, it was found that it is possibleto import and share the knowledge and experience of domestic classes with a sisteruniversity abroad. In this experiment, four advantages were confirmed. 1) Real-time communication with Japanese learners not only in Japan but alsoin other countries. 2) Close communication with people not only in universities but also people inthe local communities. 3) Communication with staff in sister universities to get information prior to thedeparture of leaving a country for the exchange programs. 4) Getting information on the level of classes that are currently taught in thesister universities in Japan. From the above findings, using Internet communication technology enhances theacademic activities regarding Japanese education between sister universities.
