| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed teaching materials to help Japanese pharmaceutical students learn three types of English terminology: 1) technical terms derived from classical Greek or Latin, 2) sub-technical terms with multiple senses that have special technical meanings, and 3) layperson's terms often used by laypeople. We have tested the use of technical terms and layperson's terms in classes. The materials were found to be effective, with the teaching of affixes to be especially useful for understanding the meanings of unknown words using the knowledge of affixes. At the end of the semester, we conducted surveys on student attitudes toward learning these technical terms.
