 note = {In 2016, ICU Language Tables were initiated to provide an environment where
students from different backgrounds could meet and practice speaking various
languages in a casual environment. This endeavor was carried out by voluntary
coordinators including two student coordinators from ICU Hub, a club on
campus, and the author as an instructor of English for Liberal Arts (ELA). This is
a report of this endeavor from autumn 2016 to spring 2017 based on one
coordinator’s reflection and students’ responses. The report will first present an
overview of the existing problem, ICU Hub, Language Tables, similar programs
in Asia, and similarities with Tandem Learning. Then, eight issues derived from
the author’s observations and notes will be discussed. Additionally, students’
comments from a small-scale survey will be presented. The report will conclude
with several future recommendations for improving designing an environment for
students from various backgrounds to meet and practice target languages.},
