Outline of Final Research Achievements

The care worker trainees under current EPA(Economic Partnership Agreements) must pass a State Examination for Certified Care Workers to continue working in Japan, but the Japanese language, especially kanji, used in the examinations is a huge barrier for the trainees.This research project developed kanji learning sebsite“KAIGO NO KANJI SUPPORTER” which enables EPA trainees learn kanji, two-kanji morphemes and nursing-care technical terms interrelatedly.
