| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We collected complete quantitative and qualitative survey data from 50 volunteer undergraduate students over 2 years. The data focused on the usage of nursing English for academic purposes by students enrolled in elective courses (two speaking courses, one writing course, one presentation course, and one web-based exchange program (Collaborative Online International Learning)). The new English curriculum was shown to provide a continuous and impactful connection to English in terms of increasing students' openness to other ways of communicating verbally or non-verbally, promoting critical thinking and cultural self-awareness, and acquiring practical skills to use English in a nursing context. Our results were shared in international conferences and published in science education outlets.
