This research investigated on faculty training for the EMI curriculum courses at higher educational institutions in Japan. We explored various overseas training programs in different regions (East Asia and Nordic countries). The major providers of EMI teacher training are UK, US, and Australia. The research team has investigated on the mainstream program contents and examined how suitable they are to the context for Japan. In 2018, the project launched a series of EMI faculty development seminars specifically designed for the Japanese EMI teachers. We started offering them to the teachers at our affiliated university first, then in 2019, we have begun making them available to other institutions through a network called JPN-COIL Association. We were able to hold a workshop in December 2019 in person, however, due to the coronavirus influence, we alternated our activities completely online. The webinar-based training program is still on-going.

This research project has developed various digital teaching materials (on and off line both) for beginning Japanese language learning and business Japanese learning purpose. The study has applied the materials in the authentic education contexts. For a domestic (in Japan) context, we have implemented a "flipped classroom" pedagogy using the lecture video materials. For an overseas JFL(Japanese as a Foreign Language) context, the same materials were in use in order to supplement the non-native Japanese speaking instructors. Our qualitative classroom analyes indicate that these digital materials are effective, only when they are used effectively under a good supervision. Teacher training to develop pedagogical competency to handle such resource is the key, and a future research awaits to explore the quality of the training.

The key general purpose of the study was to investigate how students can be afforded opprotunities to cultivate "global competence" or "intercultural skills" when engaging in English language interactions. In practical terms the study examined the utility of ICT to promote such competence or skills, and to explore how different forms of teaching practice might impede or promote learning when undertaken using ICT.
Regular Skype group video meetings were conducted with groups of three to four student participants located in different countries. Sessions were conducted weekly or biweekly, and groups met between four and eight times over the course of a 15 week semester.
