| Summary: | Culture study is highly interdisciplinary, and thus a culture learning class in an educational institution often deals with many different cultural aspects. Accordingly, on different cultural topics to discuss in the class, it cannot be helped that students exhibit different degrees of interest on each topic. The current paper reports research on what kind of topics interest students based on gender and country of origin. The survey results showed great variation among students. Asian and female students relatively prefer less serious topics while male and European students tend to prefer serious and controversial topics to discuss with peers. |
