The KU-COIL team can show you how you can enhance or internationalize your courses by establishing connections to students and teachers in other countries. For those new to COIL-style teaching, as well as those wishing to improve their skills in the field, we offer guidance and support in a variety of areas:
KU-COILチームは、海外の学生や教員との関係を構築することで、本学で提供している授業科目をどのように国際化をすることができるかをご提案させていただいています。COILは初めての方や、さらなる活用をしたいという方には、様々な支援をしています。

■Introduction to COIL COILの導入について

The first step is to develop an understanding of what COIL is, the benefits it can have for your class, and how it is carried out. Our staff will arrange an explanatory session to show you the basic principles of COIL and how it can be used to enhance your classes and teaching skills.
まず、COILの基本概念やCOILを導入することによってもたらされるメリット、授業での実施方法について理解していただくことが重要です。KU-COILチームからコンタクトし、先生方との面談の機会を持たせていただきます。

■Finding Partners パートナーについて

Next we will help find a suitable international partner that matches your needs in terms of course content, time schedule, class size, language ability or any other factors you feel are important to a good partnership. We will arrange an introduction between you and any potential partners and act as intermediaries to help maintain effective communication throughout your COIL interaction.
次に、授業内容、期間、授業規模、学生の言語運用能力など多様な項目について相談し、適切な海外の大学のパートナーを探します。見つかり次第、海外パートナーと連絡を行い、COIL授業の実施中も効率よく授業が進むようサポートをいたします。ご自身で「このパートナー」という大学や知り合いの教員がおられる場合も、もちろん対応できます。

■Structuring Courses コースの計画について

Once you have an idea of the type of partner you will be interacting with we can work with you to help design an effective COIL element for your course. This can be as small, or large, as you desire and incorporate whatever tools and technology you feel are necessary or useful in increasing the educational. Our staff will help arrange the interactive components of the course and match them with your partner to ensure your schedules overlap effectively. We can show you how to make the best use of the collaborative experience to make sure both you and your students get valuable and tangible benefits from the experience.
パートナーの条件が決まった後、授業規模、必要な情報機器などのご要望に応じて、効率的なCOILの授業計画をKU-COILチームと一緒に考えています。その後、COIL授業の準備やパートナーとのスケジュールの管理に関するサポートをします。KU-COILチームが、教員と学生がこのCOIL授業によって貴重な経験が得られるよう、最適な提案をいたします。

■Using Technology テクノロジーの活用について

Many teachers see the use of technology in the class as a difficult skill to acquire. However, educational technology is becoming both more and more common, and also easier to use than ever before. From file-sharing systems like Google Drive, to Social Network services like LINE, everyday applications, as well as more specialized educational tools, can greatly enhance the effectiveness of your lessons and are an important part of conducting a COIL exchange. Our staff will show you how to use the software tools that are best suited to your level of experience and comfort, as well as the needs of your particular class.
教室でテクノロジーを活用することが難しいと考える方は多いかもしれませんが、教育に用いるテクノロジーは日々進化しており、誰もが使えるようになってきています。Google Driveのようなファイル共有からLINEのようなソーシャルネットワークも活用することで、学生がより身近なツールを用いて海外とつながることができます。これは、COIL授業の大切なコンセプトの1つと言えるでしょう。KU-COILチームは、情報機器運用能力、COIL授業の要望に応じて、ツールの活用方法を提案させていただきます。

■Implementing COIL Sessions COIL授業実施について

During the actual classes in which you engage in COIL activities our staff can make themselves available to you to help set-up and organize any tools that are required as well as guide you in a step-by-step fashion through your first COIL exchanges.
授業中でも、必要であれば、KU-COILチームがクラスにやって来て、情報機器のセットアップや使い方を段階的に説明し、授業運営をお手伝いすることも可能です。

■Follow-up Activities & Support COIL授業実施後のフォローアップとサポートについて

The KU-COIL team are also available once COIL activities have been completed to help you with any follow-up activities you might require. Whether this is conducting surveys on student satisfaction, assessing and evaluating student performance.
KU-COILチームは、COIL授業実施後でも必要に応じてサポートします。例えば、学生の満足度や学生の評価・成績などに関するアンケートや、評価の方法に関するアドバイスを実施したりします。

Whether you are new to COIL or have had prior experience, the KU-COIL support team will help you to design your COIL course, find a suitable COIL partner, and respond to any technical requests you might have during the entirety of your COIL participation.

COIL授業が初めての方、経験があるなしを問わず、KU-COILサポートチームは、COILコースの計画からCOIL授業実施中に発生したテクニカルサポートなど様々など、対応をさせていただきます。
