International relationships between colleges have come into prominence since the 1990's. Maintaining step with the times, more and more Japanese colleges have tried to become affiliated with colleges in the U. S. A., the U. K., Australia, New Zealand, and so on. In 1991, the English Department of Gifu City Women's College (GCWC) began to study ways in which an international relationship between GCWC and an American college could be incorporated into a college English program. To better understand this, the authors designed and put into practice a theoretical framework for international exchange. A new subject, "English Study Abroad" was added to the curriculum, for the purpose of making use of international exchange in an English program. As a result, GCWC exchanged information with Thomas More College (TMC) in Cincinnati, Ohio. The aim of this paper is to make clear the problems concerning the creation of an international exchange program. The correspondence between GCWC and TMC from January 30, 1992 to June 16, 1992 will be explained to get some clues as how to further promote international and cultural exchange between Japanese and American colleges.
