# Effects and the Problems
Effects your students have gained
The students recognized local cultures of their own andtook more pride in them and also learned a lot about
Japanese culture. Students got the experience of VC
interaction and writing communication.

Problems and ideas for further improvement
It was difficult to communicate in English because
Japanese students were shy to speak English.
We got the half-painted mural in February andpractically didn’t have time to paint and display it atschool.
