The Intercultural Education Project has been established with the aim of both developing the students' English communication skills, and motivation the students to learn English through use of the information technology network. To this end, we have developed three projects; an E-mail exchange with a partner school in the UK for all graders, a Web discussion link with a partner school in Australia for 8^<th> graders, and a "Japanese Culture" exchange project with contacts in America for 9^<th> graders. With all these projects we have aimed to educate students about cultural difference between Japan and other countries, and to use the language they have learned from English Text books in instances of actual communication. We feel this project has been greatly successful, both from a point of view of increasing students' motivation to learn English, and educating them on cultural difference.
