Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nowadays the number of foreigners who come to Japan is increasing. This means the number of casualties who are not able to speak Japanese and the emergency calls from them in Japan is also increasing. Many Japanese paramedics can't speak English easily unfortunately. And we developed audiovisual educational materials(DVDs) for teaching and training of Japanese paramedics and paramedic students so that they will be able to speak English directly to the foreign casualties at the emergency site.
