The present paper reports a Virtual Exchange activity conducted with students from two U.S. universities and three Japanese universities, including Mie University. The American students were enrolled in Japanese language classes in their schools and assigned to participate in this activity. The Japanese students were those who were interested in learning English, and their participations were voluntary. The students met on ZOOM as pairs and made conversations both in Japanese and in English in order for them to practice their target languages. Five students from Mie University participated in the online conversation meetings three times in October, November, and December. Post-activity questionnaires given to the five Mie University students indicated that they enjoyed the interactions with native English speakers, learned language-related knowledges, and motivated to participate in another exchange activities in future.
