| Outline of Research at the Start |
There are three distinct stages to the research project:
Stage 1 - Conducting an in-depth analysis of the current state of EMP delivery at Japanese universities.
Stage 2 - Designing and creating a pilot version of an EMP MOOC for Japanese medical students.
Stage 3 - Monitoring the efficacy of the EMP MOOC and improving the EMP content based on feedback from students, educators, and in-service doctors.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The researchers have continued their investigation into the current state of English for Medical Purposes (EMP) delivery at Japanese universities. Research on existing online EMP support material which has been designed for medical students has continued. EMP educators and medical practitioners have been interviewed on Japanese medical students’ EMP needs and possible content for the EMP MOOC.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Due to the Corona virus epidemic interviews with EMP educators, medical practitioners were rescheduled to dates later than planned.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the final stage of this project Japanese university medical students will be asked to use the EMP created and provide their feedback on the material. The research team will continue to collect data on the efficacy of the pilot EMP MOOC through the students’ comments on each unit using an online questionnaire, focus group interviews, and one-to-one interviews. Data will be analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods and used to refine the EMP MOOC with a view to making it available for all medical students, medical practitioners, and universities within Japan at a future date.
