Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It is of vital importance to help students communicate not only with a single partner, but also with several partners from different cultures in order to facilitate effective learning within a cross-cultural communication environment. The main objectives of our project are to conduct a synchronous distance class by connecting three international educational institutes, and then to evaluate its effectiveness. In this report, different pedagogical effects are discussed by comparing the experimental class conducted using a two-point connection, and the other using a three-point connection. The analysis based on a questionnaire to the participants indicates that when placed in a three-point connection environment, as opposed to a two-point connection environment, students tend to participate more positively and with more awareness to cross-cultural understanding. This leads us to the conclusion that a synchronous distance class using a three-point connection can provide students with a fundamental environment for raising cross-cultural awareness.
