1. What do you expect to learn from this pod-casting project?

I can learn how to work with the group members efficiently and cooperate with them. I can also have a chance to use my Japanese to write a script and make a video clip in Japanese, which would be a good experience to expand my Japanese. 

- learning more about etiquette in Japan 

When I visited Japan, I was surprised that a neighbor, who lived in the same floor with my brother, said "shitsureishimasu" before entering her house. Through this video clip, I hope to learn more about their etiquette. 

- Having fun!

I think that this would be so much fun since we are actually going different places in the campus and creating a video!

- gaining abilities to express our ideas in an efficient way!

Since we have limited time and technical ability to work, it is critical to express our main point efficiently in a short video. 

2. What does "communication" mean to you? 

Communication is the activity of conveying one's idea through the exchange of thoughts, as by speech, writing or body gesture.

Communication needs a speaker and a listener. I think that it is possible to occur across distances in time and space. 

Through the pod-cast project, I hope to send a message to both Japanese and American students and communicate with them.
