Outline of Research at the Start

This research aims at developing a new nursing English extensive listening online tool along with listening video log activities designed to improve listening and speaking skills among Japanese undergraduate students. First, we intend to examine the needs of undergraduate students through the use of a survey in Japanese. Then, we will design the online listening library and, finally, collect listening and speaking proficiency data using the Versant Speaking test and a qualitative analysis of video logs.
