| Abstract | We present the 2026 SMILE Project between Watsuthiwararam School in Thailand and Chuo University High School in Japan. In January 2026, we conducted three online collaboration classes involving 25 students from our school and approximately 20 students from our partner school. In addition to providing a general description of the project, our presentation focuses on changes in students’ attitudes toward authentic English use with same-aged foreign peers, as well as how much the students enjoyed the collaboration. |
