What is

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is an innovative teaching method that facilitates intercultural competency, global awareness, and cross-lingual communication for students to prep are them for multicultural professional environments. 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 instru ctors across cultural and language divides. This allows students in Japan to experience United States classrooms online, and vice versa.
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.
COIL therefore develops, promotes, and nurtures multiculturalism which consequently leads to conflict-resilience.

Pluralistic perspectives on Japanese history and new reflections on Japanese culture

Analytical skills will be taught and applied to critique texts, films, and other media on Japan. The students will be presented with a range of materials that include controversial outdated discriminatory ideas to modern works. This range will highlight how the representation of the other has shifted. Japanese mainstream cultural thought - in addition to the multitude of Japanese subcultures - will be explored in the newly established “Global Japan Studies.”
Human security in East-Asia and the United States

Conflict issues related to the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and the multipolarity of the international order in East-Asia. Regional historical issues relating t o the Second World War wi ll be confronted from human security perspectives. These issues will be addressed in relation to peace and security in East-Asia.
Comparative gender issues in Japan and the United States

Gender issues are addressed by applying the latest gender study methods to a variety of materials, including film and literature. Comparative methods are used to discuss gender issues in Japan and the United States. Subcultures related to these issues are explored alongside mainstream issues we all face today.
Hazard studies through literature. Topics related to natural disasters and disaster prevention, and to nuclear power in disaster prone areas

The earthquake t hat struck the east coast of Japan on 11 March 2011 will be a major theme for this course. Natural and nuclear disasters centered on Japan’ s experiences will be explored in texts and other media. Theories related to crisis management, hazard studies, and disaster prevention will be applied to discussions.

Short, medium, and long-term study abroad programs

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.
Internships

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.
