Abstract
With the growth of collaborative online learning,
more students are experiencing educational environments
characterized by cultural diversity. This paper shall discuss
recent COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning)
practices between Kansai University and International Islamic
University of Malaysia from April 2016 to December 2017, and
how these initiatives helped enhance academic discourses in a
Japanese learning environment. Various experiential learnings
in understanding culture and critical issues prevailing in
Southeast Asia and Japan were also pinned down in this paper.
Finally, this intends to encourage learners and instructors to
set out an online academic partnership and adopt COIL as
a teaching pedagogy which may be relevant in the rapidly
expanding field of global education.
