The “Human Library”, started in Denmark in the year 2000, has emerged as a leading global method to reduce prejudices and encourage understanding in international communities, through dialogue and interaction.
This paper reports on the application of “Human Library” activities in a Japanese-language learning course for international students with a focus on developing skills in four areas: 1) setting aside one’s own knowledge, experience, and stereotypes to listen to and comprehend another’s speech, 2) accepting diversity and thinking from the perspectives of multiple individuals, 3) using an understanding of others in order to reflect upon and identify issues within one’s own culture, and 4) expressing one’s opinion while considering the positions of others.
