概要	This study reports on the practices of an intercultural communication course that discusses self-awareness among Japanese university students about their first language (L1) and culture (C1). The course’s primary aim is to theoretically and empirically discuss self-awareness and knowledge of L1 and C1 as essential components of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC). The course integrates Virtual Exchange (VE) into the syllabus as a monolingual reciprocal partnership with L2 learners of Japanese in the US. After reviewing VE and ICC literature, the author explains the course objectives and design and presents the findings from the students’ reflection comments and course discussion/presentation that suggest the potential of VE interaction with L2 learners in raising L1 and C1 awareness as an essential component of ICC.
