Abstract

With the increasing trend of globalization and the rapid advancement of information technology, online learning platforms such as Zoom are becoming increasingly influential in the field of education. The focus of this study was the online international peer interaction based on the Zoom platform, detailing how such interaction programs are conducted and exploring in depth the specific impacts of this interaction mode on students’ comprehensive competencies, global perspectives, and cross-cultural communication skills. This research not only provides new practical references for online learning and international education but also offers new research perspectives and directions for educators and researchers.
