Utilizing 'langrid input' for intercultural communication in senior high school in Japan

The development of information communication technology (ICT) such as the Internet makes intercultural collaborative education possible.
 The 'Natural Disaster Youth Summit' (NDYS) is one of such project. In this project, students make research on the past natural disasters and search for the solution how to decrease the impact of them through collaboration. Therefore, discussion among students by e-mail or on the internet forum is required. Although there are many messages from students on the forum, we could not expect active utterance from Japanese students.
 We assume that the lack of confidence in writing English makes intercultural communication difficult for Japanese students. If this is the reason of less utterance from Japan, the use of 'Langrid Input', which is developed to support intercultural communication, may activate students' utterance. If the communication supporting device succeeds in reducing the difficulty of writing English, Japanese students will be able to write what they want to say in English and change their attitude positive toward intercultural communication.
 In this paper, whether the use of the multilingual translation system 'Langrid Input' succeeded in changing students' attitude and consciousness to intercultural communication will be examined.
