The International Education & Exchange Center at Nagoya University began introducing online distance learning courses due to the spread of COVID-19, which is still preventing students from traveling abroad. This paper introduces one of the student programs, the “Global Communication for Future Leaders" run by Monash College in Australia, and report the learning outcome of the program. We conducted pre- and post-surveys asking students what they are looking for and what they would like to accomplish through the program. In the pre-survey, most students' first goal was to improve their speaking skills through the program. However, in the post-survey, students were more satisfied with being able to broaden their horizon through the program and interaction with other participants from abroad. Also, in the pre-survey, students showed little expectation of learning Australian culture online, but in the post-survey students' interest in Australian culture and community had increased. After the program, all participants' development of career goals grew, and students recognized the importance of developing intercultural competence and being willing to take on new challenges, which are important elements of becoming a global leader.

The worldwide spread of the new coronavirus continues to cast a shadow over international education. When the outbreak began in February 2020, students studying abroad were asked to return home immediately and for those planning to go abroad, their plans were cancelled because an end to the pandemic was nowhere in sight. This paper presents the results of a survey on how this pandemic has affected college students' views on study abroad and international education by asking questions on the following topics: 1) changes in awareness of studying abroad, 2) pros and cons of online classes, and 3) having co-learning classes with international students in Japan. As a result, 65.4% of the students answered that they plan to study abroad after the end of the pandemic indicating that students are not losing motivation. As for online courses, 89.6% of the students answered that they do not feel they can gain the same experience compared to actual study abroad. On the other hand, students gave a high evaluation to face-to-face co-learning with international students studying in Japan, stating that, through interaction and taking the classes with them, they gain some international experience.
