Collaborative online international learning (COIL) exchanges have become increasingly prevalent in tertiary educational settings. These exchanges aim to promote intercultural understanding and awareness through offering opportunities for students from different countries to engage in authentic collaborative interactions while also practicing communicative language skills. Our poster focuses on the second year of an annual short-term synchronous COIL exchange between university students in Japan and Taiwan. We describe the process of implementing this exchange at our universities, including the student demographics, the activities they engaged in, and the technologies used to facilitate the collaboration. The poster also explores the outcomes of the exchange, examining how students from different cultural and language backgrounds interacted, challenges faced, and benefits gained. Additionally, we discuss the logistical aspects encountered as exchange organizers and provide suggestions for refining and sustaining future exchanges. Finally, we offer a general outline for university educators interested in creating short-term synchronous COIL exchanges incorporating meaningful international and intercultural learning experiences for their students.
