研究成果概要
This study was conducted in two ways. The first one is the general evaluation of the present LCE (Language and Cultural Exchange) program and in the second way, more precise questionnaire was developed by the present researchers.

The preliminary survey of the LCE program was originally conducted by International Communication Center, Waseda University, Japan, and re-evaluated by the present researchers, indicated 1) perceived improvement in listening (41%) and conversational skills (55%). A number of responses in the questionnaire also implied the process of the development of friendship afforded the participants an opportunity to use the target language more frequently and to understand the target culture at a deeper level.

Another result showed statistically significant correlation between satisfaction of the entire LCE program and that of the matching of language partners (n=195, r=0.75, p<0.001).
The factor analysis of the questionnaire given to as many as 31 student-participants in the LCE program extracted the following four factors (caring/responsibility, flexible adjustment for the  partner, personal and academic similarity, and personal characteristics).

Also, the qualitative analysis of the 30 students' descriptive responses revealed two orientations in their (un)satisfaction with the experience in the LCE: friendship-oriented and partnership-oriented satisfaction.
