| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In 2006, the six-year curriculum for becoming a licensed pharmacist in Japan was introduced. Among other things, it highlighted the need for pharmacy English and there was a great demand for new teaching materials, so we tried to develop a textbook for ‘Practical Pharmaceutical English.’ First, a survey of pharmacy schools nationwide was conducted to find out their needs for teaching materials. Then we visited UCSF, a leading university of clinical pharmacy, and collected authentic materials including the interviews of two hospital pharmacists who are also educators and researchers. In January 2015, Practical Pharmaceutical English was published in cooperation with English teachers, pharmaceutical sciences faculty, and a hospital pharmacist. In the end, we were able to not only produce a text that will help student pharmacists in Japan to improve their English skills, but we were also able to learn a lot and grow as teacher-researchers in schools of pharmacy.
