概要 This paper described the collaboration and group dynamics within international cohorts researching the UN Sustainable Development Goals in a COIL (collaborative online international learning) environment. Cultural concepts of politeness, leadership, turn-taking, and perceived notions of correct behavior naturally affect interactions in group situations. This study aimed to develop a greater understanding of the interplay between stereotypically shy Japanese behavior and traditionally assertive Taiwanese communicative norms. Participants used LINE Openchat groups for direct communication, allowing for a safe and moderated space which maximized privacy and transparency. Students utilized their choice of online platforms for live meetings, giving each cohort autonomy. Our methodology for evaluating the efficacy of group interactions used the analysis of recordings and transcripts of group meetings.
