Akita International University has introduced a group of educational dormitories named Themed Houses, in which students who share a particular interest live together and carry out activities related to that interest. Nihongo House, one of the Themed Houses, holds a Japanese conversation table as a place of exchange for Japanese students and international students. Under the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been holding the conversation table online in an attempt to provide students with opportunities to interact with each other. This paper attempts to clarify issues of the online conversation table by conducting research. It also reflects on possible approaches to encourage students to regularly participate in the conversation table on a voluntary basis.
