    This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a contrast culture method (CCM) training workshop. CCM uses role-play scenarios that highlight the cultural values and assumptions of trainees. One role-player engages in interaction using behaviour and cultural markers familiar to the trainees, while the other presents contrasting behaviours. Trainees have the opportunity to question the role-players while they are in character and to discuss new insights into their assumptions and biases. The authors outline the steps taken in designing and performing a scenario for JALT attendees, primarily language educators. They also discuss the process of recording and analysing the transcript of the training session and follow-up questionnaires to evaluate the responses of the trainees and suggest design improvements for future CCM training sessions.本稿では、コントラスト・カルチャー・メソッドという文化対照法（以下CCM）を用いたワークショップの実施と評価について考察する。CCMでは、研修生の文化的な価値観と思い込みを強調するシナリオをロールプレイする。ロールプレイの役者が研修生の慣れ親しんだ文化や行動に基づいて演技をし、対照的な立場をもう一人の役者が演技する。研修生が、役になりきっている役者に質問し、意見交換することで、一人一人の思い込みや偏見について、新たな発見や理解ができるようになる。著者らは、JALT参加者（主に言語教育者）のためにデザインしたシナリオと、実施のための手順を概説する。研修生の反応を評価するため、トレーニング・セッションとフォローアップ・アンケートを分析し、プロセスを考察する。また、今後CCMをどう改善し、より良い効果が得られるのかを提案する。
