Abstract
This study explored a case of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project conducted between University M in the USA and University I in Japan. To examine the design and implementation of COIL as teaching and learning processes, this study applied the TPACK model explaining teachers’knowledge on contents, pedagogy, and technology to the case. The model was expanded in this study by adding cultural knowledge to capture cultural differences of learners. The findings showed that instructors of COIL were expected to have knowledge of learning contents, pedagogical strategies, and technology suitable for their COIL experiences. Recognizing the differences in learners’ cultural backgrounds was also important for a more inclusive COIL environment. Practical suggestions for improvement of COIL design and implementation were included.
