Practice and Outcomes of Online Research Exchange: Joint Classes between Hosei University and Takushoku University

Abstract

This report introduces the overview and outcomes of an online research exchange meeting jointly conducted by Hosei University’s Teaching Method of Chinese (3) & (4) and Takushoku University’s Third-Year Seminar (Modern Chinese Studies). Hosei University’s Teaching Method of Chinese (3) & (4) are courses focused on learning Chinese teaching methods, while Takushoku University’s Third-Year Seminar (Modern Chinese Studies) is a course dedicated to research on Chinese vocabulary and grammar. Leveraging the connection between these two courses, online research exchange meetings were held in the 2021 and 2024 academic years. In the online research exchange meetings, students conducted practical trial lessons and research presentations. While the online research exchange meeting received generally positive feedback from students, several issues were also identified. Moving forward, we aim to address these challenges and explore more effective approaches to online research exchange meetings.
