Abstract
This article aims to report on the "Multicultural Class" in Tohoku University. The nature of the name "Multicultural Class" is to overturn the arrangement that pits "foreign students" against "Japanese students", bridging its gap between the times of multicultural coexistence already becoming a reality outside the classroom. All activities are the combination of four skills and are effective measures in enhancing an understanding of the multidimensionality of the self and others. The script of the auditory data shows these practices can be accomplished even by the intermediate level learners, providing a place where language acquisition can occur in completely content-based and meaning-oriented activities.
