Details	Involvement in the Simultaneous Language Learning research group focuses on projects wherein KUFS can effectively collaborate with other institutions for the benefit of students on both sides. My project in 2018 aimed at providing American and Japanese students with opportunities to use technology in order to exchange content-based presentations. This resulted in high motivation for students to research and explain aspects of their culture and educational experience within a forum moderated by their professors.
