We implemented a <i>Shokuiku</i> (Eating education) program in "foreign language activities" classes that incorporate international exchange, for the purpose of studying the learning effects on Japanese elementary school students. We conducted three surveys : a baseline survey, a post-survey, and a follow-up survey. We compared changes in responses to questionnaires from the three surveys about intercultural acceptance in terms of dietary culture and foreign language. Thirty-five students in the exchange group and 64 students in the non-exchange group were analyzed. Both groups received <i>Shokuiku</i> three times between the baseline survey and post-survey, using sushi rolls (Norimaki), snacks, and school lunches as teaching material.<BR>The results were as follows in the follow-up survey:<BR>1)The exchange group increased in their desire to eat the foods and maintained interest in foreign language.<BR>2)The desire to eat the sampled Korean snacks was significantly established in both the exchange and non-exchange groups. Also, <i>Shokuiku</i> including sample tastings led to greater confidence in using taste and textural vocabulary in English.<BR>3)Both groups accepted Korean dietary culture.<BR>These results indicate that the <i>Shokuiku</i> program in "foreign language activities" classes promote intercultural acceptance even without international exchange by using foreign food as teaching material. International exchange promoted a maintained interest in not only foreign language but foreign dietary culture.
