| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project was initiated with the ambitious aim of establishing a core curriculum of nursing English for Japanese nursing institutions. Although we persevered in our efforts for 6 years, our failure to obtain sufficient data during the pandemic made it impossible to reach our stated goals. The research process, specifically conducting a series of Focus Groups with Japanese nurses, did, however, enable us to obtain valuable information that could provide a useful framework of reference for others to build on.
During the research period we have presented at two major domestic conferences in the field, and have published a paper in the most respected medical English journal in Japan. We have two more presentations planned, one at an international medical conference, and will continue to explore ways in which we can further research in the field of nursing English.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Although we met with only limited success, our progress will facilitate future exploration in the field. We plan to assemble a new team comprising nurses, nurse educators and nursing English teachers with a view to continuing the goal of establishing a core curriculum of nursing English.
