Researchers at Tokyo Denki University
(Japan) found the less abstract the emoticon,
the more our brain responds to it.

LINE's more dynamic graphics supposedly produce a stronger emotional impact.
But their variety of styles,while allowing greater individuality,
can have a downside...
![Page 38: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Misunderstandingis possible,
if notinevitable.
![Page 39: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Misunderstandings have cultural elements
Researchers found that,
American users prefer clear meanings with no room for misinterpretation
(Big smiles, frequent captions)
In contrast, Japanese users like a variety of more subjective, vague images
("What's the point of a half-smile?")
![Page 40: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Researchers found we greatly overestimate our ability to understand emotional context of text messages.
If emoji are available, vast majority make use of them.
Doing so improves our understanding of emotional tone of messages by more than 100 percent.

Culturally unique imagery is also used
For Muslim usersLINE developed images for Ramadan.
![Page 43: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The key impact of graphics in online communication is twofold:
a) Greater emotional exchange
b) Greater participation by weak L2 students
![Page 44: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
It also has some other benefits:
c) clarifying meaning (j/k)
d) greater expression of individuality
e) illustrating cultural differences
![Page 45: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Practical COIL ApplicationSynchronous interaction is difficult to arrange,
And usually irregular.
Often asynchronous interaction must suffice,
But this need not be devoid of a visual element.
![Page 46: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
For Non-Native StudentsBuilding confidence to communicate in L2,
can take time.
Social exchanges aided by visual elements,
Offer a significant boost to willingness to engage.
![Page 47: Overcoming Language Barriers in COIL with Japan: Focusing](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012509/618604719374874ff57d0a15/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Research Focused Courses
Non-Native students majoring in non-Language/Culture fields,
(such as science, medicine, law, etc.),
Frequently have less developed L2 skills.
Courses focused on exchange of content-based data,
Can benefit from having a parallel informal line of communication.
