Abstract
This paper reports a newly-developed Japanese language learning website focusing on multimodal communication. The video clips of the website show a series of daily conversations that take place on a university campus. The website has been designed for international students and researchers to learn how to engage themselves in having active interactions with people around them. It gives viewers' opportunities to realize the importance of non-verbal behavior such as body movements, distance, posture, eye gazes and so on to make conversations more interactive and meaningful. We also developed a platform to share the students' own experiences stimulated by the video-clips of the website through SNS.
