The COIL program at TUFS connects accredited courses online and links classrooms with institutions of higher education in the United states. The syllabi for the linked classes are co-created by the instructors across cultural and language divides. This allows students in Japan to experience United States classrooms online, and vice versa.<br>The online exchange of students and faculties with different languages, cultural backgrounds, and value systems, is realized using state-of-the-art teleconferencing technologies. Shared learning materials, that the classrooms work on separately and offline in Japan and the United States, makeup the foundation for the live discussions and learning between the students online. The development of intercultural competence occurs through the online facilitated and moderated discussions and exchanging of ideas.<br>COIL therefore develops, promotes, and nurtures multiculturalism which consequently leads to conflict-resilience.<\/p>\n<section id=\"purpose\">\n<h2>Project Purpose<\/h2>\n<div>\n<ul class=\"flex\">\n<li>Development of civic-oriented global human resources with diversified and flexible views in order to promote the public good.<\/li>\n<li>Using COIL-type courses as the driving force to incentivize and expand student exchange with universities in the United States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"worldmap\">\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tokyo University of Foreign Studies\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/ic_tokyo.png\" height=\"48\">Tokyo University of Foreign Studies<br><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ICU\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/ic_icu.png\" height=\"35\">International Christian University<br><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aoyama Gakuin University\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/ic_aoyama.png\" height=\"45\">Aoyama Gakuin University<\/li>\n<li>University of California, Los Angeles<br>University of California, Riverside<br>University of California, Irvine<br>California State University, Northridge<br>University of California, Santa Barbara<br>The University of Southern California<br>The State University of New York at Albany<br>The State University of New York at Stony Brook<br>San Diego State University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"inner\" id=\"o_outline\">\n<h2>Summary of Exchange program<\/h2>\n<p>Having established the COIL themes (COIL 1 to COIL 4), we offer online seminar-type classes, offline workshops, offline lectures as supplementary learning aids, and short-, medium-, and long-term study abroad programs in the United States.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex\">\n<li class=\"sbox\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Online Class\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/about_pct_onlinezemi.png\" height=\"83\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Online <br>seminar classes<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"sbox\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Workshop\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/about_pct_workshop.png\" height=\"80\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Offline<br>workshops<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"sbox\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/about_pct_combing.png\" height=\"95\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Combining COIL with short<br>and medium term <br>study abroad programs<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"sbox\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Online class\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/about_pct_onlineclass.png\" height=\"95\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Supplementary <br>online lectures<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"short\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/pct_airplane.png\" height=\"73\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Short, medium, and long-term study abroad programs<\/h3>\n<p>We will develop human resources by actively promoting and using COIL-type courses and subsequently send participating Japanese students on short-, medium-, or long-term study abroad stays to the United States, and vice versa, American students to Japan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-content\/themes\/tpcoil\/images\/pct_intership.png\" height=\"102\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Internships<\/h3>\n<p>Universities in both Japan and United States will offer internship opportunities for participating students, enabling them to increase their knowledge about Japanese and United States organizations in addition to obtaining negotiation and coordination skills.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"inner\" id=\"human\">\n<h2>Global Human Resources<\/h2>\n<p>At both undergraduate and graduate levels, we will develop global human resources that are civic-oriented with diverse perspectives in order to promote the public good to contribute to solving the various challenges that exist between Japan and the United States.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex\">\n<li>\n<h3>Language proficiency<\/h3>\n<p>Bilingual in Japanese and English.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Knowledge about Japan,<br>East-Asia, and the Trans-Pacific region<\/h3>\n<p>Having expertise on the societies, cultures and the economies of Japan, and the greater East-Asia and Trans-Pacific region.

As a pioneer in liberal arts education in Japan, International Christian University (ICU) has also taken a leading role in the globalization of Japanese universities. In 2009 these two distinguished universities located in West Tokyo launched a system for cross-recognition of credits at undergraduate and graduate levels and embarked on various alliances and cooperative initiatives. Selected to take part in the Japanese government\u2019 s Top Global University Project, both institutions are fully committed to globalization. In collaboration with Aoyama Gakuin University, which has globalized its curriculum based on the Aoyama Standard, TUFS and ICU are driving this project, titled \u201cTrans-Pacific Collaborative Online International Learning [COIL] for Multiculturalism and Conflict-Resilience,\u201d and forging stronger ties between universities in Japan and the United States. COIL utilizes information and communications technologies to create virtual links with students in Japan and students enrolled in universities overseas to carry out projects in a variety of fields. It is used to hold joint online classes between Japan and the United States, and students taking these classes will also have opportunities for actual exchange through overseas study programs. Through this project, we aim to develop versatile, flexible, and public-spirited global citizens, and to contribute to deeper ties between Japan and the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"txtRight\">Tokyo University of Foreign Studies<br>International Christian University<br>Aoyama Gakuin University<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is an innovative teaching method that facilitates intercult [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"32","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-41","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","en-US"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":666,"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41\/revisions\/666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
