| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In stage 2, the researchers will design and create a pilot EMP MOOC. They will create unique and innovative material for the EMP MOOC. Such material will be related to separate units based on specific EMP themes. They will also conduct interviews with interviews with EMP educators, medical practitioners, and members of the Japan Society for Medical English Education (JASMEE)
