This presentation will report on a COIL project between university students in the Midwest United States and Tokyo, Japan. The project took place over five weeks in spring 2022. The aim of the study was twofold: (1) to gain insights into student choice of technologies and group workflow dynamics to complete tasks, and (2) to better understand student attitudes toward the COIL project. The students in the US (n = 8) were enrolled in a technical communication course, and the students in Japan (n = 11) were enrolled in an English as a foreign language course. Mixed student teams were tasked with creating a 5-minute instructional video for foreign visitors to Japan intended to introduce daily activities such as riding the train or buying items at a convenience store. Data was collected via reflective journals and interviews and coded for theme and sentiment. Generally, findings showed that students used a wide array of tech tools to complete their tasks, and relied on accessible and familiar tools. Furthermore, students generally shared positive attitudes about the project, particularly under the theme of sociocultural aspects of the project such as relationship building and collaboration. Negative sentiment was mostly associated with language and communication challenges.
