| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project developed English communication classes for medical staff and students at a Japanese university. The purpose was to develop sustainable in-service English classes for medical learners. Ten to fifteen evening classes were held in each year of the project: Classes were divided into three phases by year: (Phase 1, 2018) general communication skills classes; (Phase 2, 2019) conference skills classes; (Phase 3, 2020) online communication skills classes combining medical staff and graduate/undergraduate students. Over 100 participants joined these classes over the three-year period.
Feedback was obtained in the form of focus-group interviews and post-course questionnaires. It was found that classes focusing on conference skill development were most popular among medical staff. Moreover, online formats were considered successful due to their easy access, and may facilitate the integration of in-service and pre-service learning.
