Description
This presentation introduces a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) program connecting universities in Japan and the United States through synchronous Zoom-based lessons designed to promote language exchange and intercultural understanding.
The session will discuss the development of the program, the themes explored during the collaboration, and the educational benefits observed. Drawing on post-course surveys and focus group discussions, the presentation will demonstrate how connecting classrooms across borders encouraged authentic language use through real-time interaction and helped students deepen their intercultural knowledge and global perspectives.
