I wrote a paper and made presentations a short-term study-abroad (STSA) program between a university in central Japan and a university in the south-west in the US. This study empirically assessed the impact of a six-week study-abroad program with the US university (conducted online as a virtual program due to the COVID-19 pandemic) on sophomore Japanese university students’ global-mindedness (GM). In addition, I presented on a study that examined the impact on the intercultural sensitivity of volunteer Thai university buddy partners who served as academic and cultural guides for eight visiting Japanese university students during a three-week study-abroad program in Thailand. Both of these studies were connected to educational contexts that promoted active learning-based pedagogical approaches.

我写了一篇论文，并在日本中部的一所大学和美国西南部的一所大学之间的短期留学（STSA）项目中做了演讲。本研究实证评估了为期六周的美国大学海外留学项目（由于COVID-19大流行而作为虚拟项目在线进行）对日本大学二年级学生全球化思维（GM）的影响。此外，我还介绍了一项研究，该研究探讨了泰国大学志愿者伙伴的跨文化敏感性的影响，这些伙伴在泰国为期三周的海外学习计划中为8名来访的日本大学生提供学术和文化指导。这两项研究都与促进积极学习的教学方法的教育背景有关。
