日本語 term

Kokusai Bunka Kenshu

日本語 から 英語 その他 教育/教授法 Intercultural Education
this revised version was published in Kokusai Bunka Kenshu (Intercultural Exchange). No other relevant context.

I am translating the document from English into Russian but I need some help from Japanese colleagues. In proper Russian I can not give the name of the edition without specifying the type of it - a magazine, a journal, a newspaper, etc. For example, [in "The Time" magazine, not just in "The Time"]. Maybe one of those words in the title "hides" the explanation? In other words, what type of publication is this?

I would also appreciate the translation of this entire title even though I was asked to leave it and the likes in the bibliography section "as is". Thank you very much.

Katalin, Thank you so much. I did try to do some research but failed specifically for the reason you provided - the info was scarce and "half-Japanese":-).

I just wanted to add that this magazine is published by the \"Japan Intercultural Academy of Municipalities\" (JIAM), 4 times a year.
By the way, in your question, the (Intercultural Exchange) in the brackets may very well be the translation of the title the magazine prefers to use.

Th website of JIAM is www.jiam.jp. Unfortunately, the English part of the site does not contain any information regarding the magazine, only the Japanese pages do.

Training in International Culture = Intercultural Exchange

Kokusai Bunka Kenshuu means Training/Course in International Culture, but it seems the group has adjusted this to a more natural-sounding 'Intercultural Exchange' for their dealings in English. According to the following website, it is a 'magazine', rather than a journal, newspaper, or other type of publication. Here is the actual home page of the magazine, complete with photos of some of their past publications.
