Summary SONODA Hirofumi, OKUMURA Keiko, NAKAMURA Akemi Activities for developing inter-cultural understanding and communication competence -Observation of international exchange activities of three universities- This paper is a practical report on the inter-cultural activities carried out at the University of Yamanashi, Yamagata University and Saga University. First of all, we demonstrate how writing learning journals encouraged the international students of the University of Yamanashi who participated in the Intercultural Communication class to develop the meta-cognitive knowledge and actions towards their learning purposes and processes. It helped the students to increase their active involvement in and ownership of learning. Secondly, we present a practical report on Multicultural Understanding (Seminar), a general education subject that has been offered for the first time as a multicultural class at Yamagata University. We suggest a new viewpoint on the description of the Reaction-paper that was written by students at each session. Lastly, in the practical report on visitor sessions at Saga University, we present a new viewpoint regarding students mutual evaluation for the presentations by international students. We also suggest a new form of Advanced Japanese Language class for undergraduate international students.
