“Engaging in COIL has transformed the way I teach and learn. It breaks down geographic, cultural, and digital barriers, encouraging my students to think globally and collaborate meaningfully. One of my greatest satisfactions as a teacher has been the opportunity to share my experiences in both virtual and physical environments beyond my university. While COIL can be challenging, the personal and academic rewards far outweigh the effort.”
