Abstract
This article aims to consider the relation between the following three aspects: experience in "multicultural class," students' interest in international exchange and students' linguistic behavior in the class. The subjects were the participants in the 2006 July joint session, which multinational students from three universities in northern Tohoku area took part in. The subjects from two universities had regular experiences in "multicultural class" at their home university and on the other hand students from the other university did not. A consciousness survey was conducted three times on all of them and the conversation of two groups were audio taped. The data from this research suggests that experiences in "multicultural class" can affect both students' interest and linguistic behavior.
