All of these classes were often advanced classes, and there were few international students in the class and most of them were local students. Nevertheless, I was able to actively participate in class activities such as discussions because I had properly grasped the concept of classes at American universities in advance in COIL classes before studying abroad and I was prepared for such classes.<\/span> <span>In the COIL class I attended, I was able to connect with American students who were also in the class through video and exchange opinions in real time. At that time, when I saw American students who had their own opinions and were actively expressing their opinions, I thought to myself, &#8220;I also have to be able to do this in English by the time I go to study abroad&#8221;, and that increased my motivation.<\/span> <span>I think it was extremely valuable to be able to know how much I was lacking in ability and realize the need for improvement before going abroad. Thanks to the COIL class, I was able to deepen my learning experiences while studying abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":483,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-493","voice","type-voice","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","en-US"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/voice\/493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/voice"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/voice"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.tufs.ac.jp\/tp-coil\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
