Main Room: P. Mathieson & Y. Sakai, "Preparing Students for Providing Home Nursing Care for Foreign Residents"
One of the interesting (and perhaps underappreciated) aspects of Japan’s so-called ‘super-ageing society’ is that an increasing number of Japan’s elderly population are foreign residents. And with the predicted increasing demand for home nursing services in the coming years (Kashiwagi & Morioka, 2021), it is likely that some of that demand will come from elderly foreigners. Preparing our Japanese nursing students to meet this need may be challenging for many nursing English educators due to factors such as curriculum constraints and limited class time. This practice-oriented presentation incorporates student and teacher perspectives about what knowledge and skills are considered to be necessary to prepare Japanese nursing students to deliver home nursing care for non-Japanese patients. This will include a discussion of the facilitative role that nursing English teachers can play in developing nursing students’ intercultural communicative competence.
日本のいわゆる「超高齢化社会」の興味深い(そしておそらく過小評価されている)側面の 1 つは、日本の高齢者人口の中で外国人居住者が増加していることです。そして、今後数年間で在宅看護サービスの需要が増加すると予測されており(柏木&盛岡、2021)、英語やその他の言語での在宅看護サービスの提供のニーズが生じる可能性があります。しかし、多くの看護英語教育者にとって、日本の看護学生がこのニーズに応えられるように準備することは、カリキュラムの制約や限られた授業時間などの要因により困難である可能性があります。このプレゼンテーションには、日本の看護学生が英語で在宅看護を提供できるよう準備するためにどのような知識とスキルが必要であると考えられるかについて、看護学生と看護英語教師の視点が組み込まれています。これには、看護英語教師が教室の内外で果たせる促進的な役割についての議論が含まれます。
Small Room: I. Dryden, T. Ueda, & L. Dryden, "'Social Networking Approach' in Nursing English Pedagogy: Support for Students in Their Identity Transition Process"
Nursing students prepare to become medical staff members through their nursing courses which are naturally conducted in Japanese. The place of English courses in students’ professional nursing preparation, however, is not always clear. Nursing students face many challenges that must be met in Japanese, notably passing the national nursing exam and undergoing training and practice at hospitals and other medical facilities. Beyond the basic preparatory purposes, however, college curricula impart knowledge and skills that support students in their identity transition to nurses. We propose that English courses have a place in this process of shaping the nursing identity of students. In our presentation, we offer some English activities and materials that develop students’ perspectives on their nursing identities through the method known as SNA (Social Networking Approach).
看護職を目指す学生にとっては、当然ながら日本語で行われる看護科目を履修して医療従事者になる準備をするため、英語科目の位置づけは必ずしも明確ではない。看護師国家試験の合格、病院や医療施設での研修や実習など、日本語での課題は多い。しかし、大学のカリキュラムは基本的な看護職への準備を目的とする以上に、学生の看護師としてのアイデンティティー確立を支援する知識や技術を教授している。本発表では、このような学生の看護師としてのアイデンティティー形成過程において、英語科目が重要な役割を果たすことを提唱し、SNA(ソーシャル・ネットワーキング・アプローチ)と呼ばれる教授法を通して、学生の看護アイデンティティーや看護観を育成するための英語でのアクティビティーや教材を紹介する。
Main Room: J. Tomei & D. Ostman, "Academic Writing and the Database of Immigrant Narratives"
This presentation introduces the Database of Immigrant Narratives as a resource and presents ways that the database has been used in teaching academic English that lend themselves to activities for those teaching English to nursing students. The DIN is a collection of interviews with immigrants to Japan, focusing on narrative accounts of their journey. The 45 interviews provide the opportunity for students to have intercultural encounters to which they might not ordinarily have access and have been employed to develop student skills in indirect quotation, discourse, summarization, and reported speech. This presentation will give the background behind the site, discuss some of the literature related to intercultural competence, and present activities that use the interviews as a preliminary step toward developing skills in taking patient histories. The Database of Immigrant Narratives (DIN) can be found at https://www.icnresearch.net. (contact authors for login details) and was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 21K13084 "Developing Intercultural Competence through Literature for English-language Teachers" (https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-21K13084/)
本発表では、Database of Immigrant Narrativesをリソースとして紹介し、看護学生に英語を教える際のアクティビティに適した、学術英語教育におけるデータベースの活用方法を紹介する。ナラティブのコレクションは、看護英語を教える人々にとって貴重なリソースとなる。
Small Room: S. Capper, "Exploring the Transformative Online Learning System, ZenGengo"
As a materials developer I am always on the lookout for ways to add value to my courses and provide out-of-class activities that will enable learners to review and prepare productively, flexibly, and enjoyably. In the course of developing the Bedside Manner nursing English series I was introduced to ZenGengo. Using this Online Learning Support system has proved transformative, both in how I create materials and how I manage my nursing English classes. In this presentation I will introduce ZenGengo and will demonstrate the ease with which activities can be created, or, if using a ready-made course, applied. If you need a way to effortlessly assess nursing students’ homework activities, develop easy-to-use online testing materials or simply crave a solution to the age-old problem of how to objectively evaluate learners while putting the outcomes firmly in their own hands, you might want to explore the possibilities offered by ZenGengo.
教材開発者として、常にコースを向上させ、学生が柔軟で楽しく生産的に予習し復習できる課外活動を提供する方法を模索しています。Bedside Manner看護英語シリーズの開発中、ZenGengoを知りました。このオンライン学習サポートシステムは教材の作成方法や看護英語クラスの管理方法において変革的でした。このプレゼンテーションでは、ZenGengoを紹介し、活動の簡単な作成や、既製のコースを使用する際の応用方法をデモンストレーションします。看護学生の宿題の評価や使いやすいオンラインテスト教材の開発、または学習者を客観的に評価する古くからの問題に対する解決策を求める場合は、ZenGengoが提供する可能性を探ってみてください。
Main Room: J. Hensley, "Japanese Nursing Professionals’ Firsthand Experience with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Patients"
As part of an ongoing research project into the state of cross-cultural, or transcultural, nursing in Japan, semi-structured interviews were conducted in Japanese with eleven nurses and midwives from eight different municipalities around Japan regarding their experiences in caring for patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim with the aid of a native Japanese speaker, and interview transcripts were analyzed inductively for content related to how the participants have addressed the issues faced when providing care for their culturally and linguistically diverse patients. This presentation will discuss the preparations made, actions taken, and materials used by Japanese nurses and midwives to provide care for their non-Japanese patients. By focusing on these practical applications, this presentation will provide a clearer picture of how nursing professionals in Japan have gone about working with their diverse patients to elucidate where English education may play a role.
日本における異文化(国際)看護の現状に関する進行中の研究プロジェクトの一環として、文化的・言語的に多様な背景を持つ患者をケアする際の経験について、日本全国8つの自治体から11人の看護師・助産師に日本語で半構造化インタビューを行い、実際にその看護専門家が準備したこと、取った行動、使用した材料について発表する。
Small Room: A. Sato, M. Okumura, & Y. Atsumi, "Exploring the Benefits of International Experiences for Nursing Students: Insights from Nursing Students"
In Japan, the healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly, with diverse individuals seeking medical attention. This trend emphasizes the importance of incorporating international perspectives into nursing practices, transcending linguistic barriers, and fostering cross-cultural understanding. However, the current nursing education system may not adequately address the demands of globalization within Japan. In this presentation, we, as nursing students, will share our experience on a study tour in Tanzania hosted by Japan Overseas Christian Medical Cooperative Service (JOCS) in 2023 and discuss the benefits of overseas training programs for nursing students. By sharing our perspectives, we intend to shed light on the necessity of international experiences for nursing students and enhance international nursing education to align with the evolving healthcare landscape in Japan.
グローバル化に伴い、日本国内の医療環境においても看護師が関わる患者の多様化が急速に進んでいる。この傾向は、国際的な視点を看護実践に取り入れ、言語の壁を越えるとともに、異文化理解を促進することの重要性を強く示している。しかし、現在の看護教育のカリキュラムは、日本国内のグローバル化に対応するには不十分であると感じている。「国際看護」をより深く学ぶことで、言葉の壁を超えた看護や、異文化理解に基づいた患者への関わりをはじめとする国際看護に求められる力を身につけ、グローバル化に対応することができると考える。私たちは、2023年に日本キリスト教海外医療協力会(JOCS)が主催するタンザニアスタディツアーに参加した。そこで初めて言葉の壁を超えた看護実践を体感し、看護教育における海外研修の必要性を強く感じた。本発表では、私たちが研修を経て得た視点を共有することで、看護学生にとっての国際経験の必要性を明らかにする。日々進化する日本の医療情勢に合わせて国際看護教育を強化していきたい。
Main Room: Yayoi Shimota, R.N., "From Words to Wellness – Nursing Across the Language Barrier"
Main Room: (JALT Invited Speaker) S, Hoggard, "A Rapid Increase of Foreign Workers in Japanese Hospitals – What Could Go Wrong?"
The Japanese government has expressed the intent to rapidly increase the number of foreign workers employed in the healthcare sector here. Although the stated goal of 60,000 non-Japanese additions to the workforce within the current 5-year period is unlikely to be met, there will undoubtedly be many issues faced by those that do make the move here, and by the Japanese institutions and co-workers that receive them. This presentation will report on studies conducted at a university in Japan into the attitudes of pre-service nursing students towards intercultural communication in the workplace. These studies will be used as a platform for a discussion of the wider implications and issues that are already becoming evident within the healthcare sector in Japan. In addition to the communication problems faced by co-workers from differing linguistic backgrounds, issues such as social assimilation, bureaucracy, and financial concerns will be discussed.
日本は、医療分野で働く外国人労働者の数を急速に増やす意向を表明している。外国人労働者の数が増えるとともに、その受け入れ先である日本の医療機関や同僚が、多くの問題に直面することは間違いない。異なる言語的背景を持つ同僚が直面するコミュニケーションの問題に加え、経済的懸念などの問題についても議論する。
Small Room: J. Kimura: "Vocabulary for the Pharmaceutical Sciences. Which Words?"
Reading specialized disciplines poses various challenges. Students must negotiate specialized content written using specialized vocabulary. The literature has identified vocabulary as a strong predictor of reading proficiency, and researchers offer recommendations on what vocabulary to teach (Coxhead) and techniques for learning (Nation). However, researchers have not yet identified which words pharmacy or nursing majors need to learn. This presentation reports the findings from a particular approach to teaching vocabulary in which first-year students learn academic vocabulary, which prepares them for post-secondary studies, and second-year students learn more targeted technical and vocabulary for the pharmaceutical sciences. Over a 15-week semester, students take cloze quizzes on ten sub-lists of words. Students express appreciation for the motivation to learn, and for the fact that the instructor provides direction for learning. In the future, it might be worthwhile to develop specialised vocabulary lists such as for pharmaceutical sciences or nursing, similar to Hsu’s Medical Word List.
Main Room: (Nellie’s Featured Speaker) B. McBean, "The Value of Content-Based English Instruction for Medical Professionals"
Content-based instruction is the integration of content learning with language teaching aims--the concurrent study of language and subject matter, in this case health issues. It can be stated that young Japanese these days generally lack health awareness. The speaker/author has written a communicative textbook devoted to increasing such awareness among students while giving them practice in English conversation at the same. HEALTHTALK, recently republished, has been a long seller in the Japanese textbook marketplace. It is ideally suited for nurses and other medical professionals. It covers topics such as Longevity, Cancer Prevention, AIDS, Exercise and more, 12 topics in total. The author will discuss his motivation for writing such a content-based text, in addition to the many difficulties he had to overcome in order to integrate conversation activities with said subject matter. The speaker will give advice on how a teacher can best utilize such a textbook in the classroom.
コンテンツベースの指導とは、コンテンツ学習と言語教育の目的、つまり言語と主題(この場合は健康)の同時学習を統合することです。 最近の若者は総じて健康意識が低いと言えます。 講演者/著者は、生徒たちのそのような意識を高め、同時に英会話の練習をさせることに特化したコミュニケーションの教科書を書きました。 HEALTHTALK は日本の教科書市場でロングセラーとして孤立しています。 看護師やその他の医療専門家に最適です。 長寿、がん予防、HIV/AIDS、運動など、合計 12 のトピックが取り上げられています。 著者は、難しい主題と会話活動を統合するために克服しなければならなかった課題に加えて、このような内容ベースのテキストを書いた動機について説明します。 講師は、教師がこのような教科書を教室でどのように活用するかをアドバイスします。
Small Room: A. Simpson: "An Intensive English Speaking Simulated Patient and Case Presentation Project"
Can third-year nursing student knowledge, English communication skills and confidence be developed through interaction with English Speaking Simulated Patients (ESSPs) and case presentations? The speaker will describe a fifteen-lesson two-week pre-study abroad course for five nursing students. The course materials included orthopedic and pulmonary cases with test results, x-rays, MRI scans, and advice. The students had a week to prepare for multi-stage role-plays: to take the patient’s medical history, measure their vital signs, ask about their activities of daily living and explain their treatment. After the first day of role-plays, pre-surgery, morning rounds, post-surgery and discharge advice role-plays were conducted. The students then had to present SOAP case presentations and make an e-portfolio of their completed tasks. The course showed how ESSPs can be used for ENP training and areas for development such as different patient cases and combined task, linguistic and clinical assessment checklists.
この発表では、看護学生を対象とした2週間の短期英語コースについて述べる。このコースの目的は、模擬患者を使って、面接、バイタルサインのチェック、日常生活についての質問、治療前と治療後の説明を練習することであった。最後に、学生たちはケースプレゼンテーションを行い、達成感を味わった。
Main Room: M. Sando, "Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Student Exchange Program with a Top University in China"
Wakayama Medical University (WMU) and Shandong University (SDU) send out their students and faculty respectively once every two years. Faculty academic exchange started as early as in 1986, and this year will mark the 20th anniversary of student exchange program, since WMU and SDU signed an exchange agreement on November 16th, 2004. After the COVID-19 catastrophe, WMU sent 10 students to Cheeloo College of Medicine at SDU for the first time in six years, in early March of 2024. The main purposes of this program are to learn both countries’ healthcare and enjoy cultural interaction in English, but some Japanese students seem to be shy of “speaking out.” How should we encourage them to socialize with overseas people? WMU is expecting to host an inbound student exchange program for SDU this October. On this milestone year, the presentation overviews this year’s program and considers more productive and sustainable exchange.
本報告は、コロナ禍を経て6年ぶりに実施された、和歌山県立医科大学と中国・山東大学との学生交流を振り返り、20 周年を迎える節目の年に、実り多き持続可能な国際交流の活性化について考える。
Small Room: R. Franklin: "Activities for Including a Nursing Vocabulary List (NVL) into Your Courses."
Having previously developed a 314-word Nursing Vocabulary List (NVL), which was published in JANET's online journal 5 years ago [Franklin, R. (2019). Development of a Vocabulary List for Nursing Students. Nursing English Nexus, 3(1), 13-20.], this presentation will follow up with how to incorporate such a list into a Nursing English curriculum, by demonstrating a variety of vocabulary activities and types of quiz questions that could be utilized in any course regardless of textbook used or student levels. Workshop participants will become 'nursing students' and experience a short oral quiz with a dozen different types of vocabulary questions which would be my pleasure to share with colleagues who teach English to nursing students.
以前に 314 語の看護語彙リスト (NVL) を開発し、5 年前に JANET のオンライン ジャーナルに掲載されました [Franklin, R. (2019)。 看護学生のための語彙リストの開発。 看護英語ネクサス、3(1)、13-20.]、このプレゼンテーションでは、看護英語のカリキュラムにそのようなリストを組み込む方法について、さまざまな語彙アクティビティと、看護英語で利用できるクイズの質問の種類を示します。 使用する教科書や生徒のレベルに関係なく、どのコースでも受講可能です。 ワークショップの参加者は「看護学生」となり、数十の異なる種類の語彙の質問による短い口頭クイズを体験します。これを看護学生に英語を教えている同僚と共有できることを嬉しく思います。
Main Room: N. Rin, M. Matsuzaka, & Y. Momori, "Clinical Attachment in Korea: Study Abroad Programs"
All third-grade nursing students of the Global Nursing faculty at Otemae University do a one-week clinical attachment overseas. In 2023, the overseas clinical observation was held at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. We will report on our clinical observation experience at Yonsei University in Korea. The program included lectures and a tour of an operating room and the Neonatal intensive Care Unit at Severance Hospital, which is affiliated with Yonsei University. During our clinical observation, we gained insight into Korean society, learning about issues such as increasing housing prices and the decreasing birthrate. In Korea, surgical procedures are mainly done by laparoscopy or robotic surgery. We discussed topics related to healthcare, society, and pop culture in English with students from Yonsei University and Hong Kong University. The program provided an opportunity for participants to communicate with students having diverse culture backgrounds by using plain English and sometimes Korean.
大手前大学国際看護学部は3年次ですべての学生が海外で1週間の実習を行う。ここではその実習の経験を報告する。韓国のヨンセイ大学で講義を受け、手術室やNICUで病院見学を行った。海外実習で不動産価格の高騰や少子化など韓国の社会的な現状を学んだ。また、内視鏡やロボット手術が主流であることも学んだ。これらの課題について韓国ヨンセイ大学や香港からの大学生とともに英語で討論を行った。ほかにもKポップや患者の安全管理、高齢化社会、デジタル社会についても共有した。多様な背景を持つ学生と簡単な英語、簡単な日本語でコミュニケーションをとり、視野を広げた。
Small Room: C. Kato: "Reinforcing Interactional Communication Skills in Japanese Nursing ESP Classrooms through Extensive Reading Interactive Activities"
In nursing EFL communication classes, which adopt an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) textbook, extensive reading (ER) activities enhanced learners' interactive communication skills and helped balance language learning. The course introduced three ER activities: (1) sustained silent reading (SSR) using graded readers, (2) reading "learners' newsletter" to monitor affective states, and (3) "timed writing" to prepare learners mentally before ER interactive tasks. Weekly logs, teacher observations, and class surveys revealed that interactive engagement increased with ER interactive communication activities implemented consistently and supplemented with interactional communication strategies as scaffolds. Similarly, learners' conversing strategies gradually shifted from translating to producing simple word utterances and making gestures, implying changes in learners' views on English language learning communicatively. This presentation highlights the classroom practices in the first-year nursing EFL communication courses where ER interactive communication activities coexist with ESP materials.
この発表は、英語多読(ER)を元にしたコミュニケーション活動を利用した特定の目的のための英語授業(ESP)についての報告である。結果として、会話ストラテジーと共に実践したERコミュニケーション活動への学生たちの参加率が持続的に伸びた。同時に、学生たちの会話の方法も、対訳からジェスチャーを使いながら簡単な語を発する方法に変化するなど、英語対話に対する学習観にも変化が現れた。
Main Room: D. Velasco, "Being an Empathic Active Listener"
Listening plays an important role in medicine. Medical staff must be excellent listeners in order to provide the best medical care to patients. This workshop will discuss the concepts of active listening and empathic listening, and introduce participants to a communication exercise that will help nursing students, instructors, and hospital administrators and staff become more empathic, active listeners. Grounded in Positive Psychology, which will also be briefly covered, this exercise utilizes an instrument titled the “Worries Survey,” which measures various categories and the levels of worry associated with them, in order to provide an opportunity to not only express one’s worries, but also to listen to others in ways outlined in the workshop. This activity has been successfully implemented in classrooms, professional development meetings (PD), and faculty development (FD) meetings, and will be a useful addition to any teacher or facilitator’s arsenal of resources.
医療において傾聴は重要な役割を果たす。患者に最良の医療を提供するために、医療スタッフは優れた聞き手でなければなりません。このワークショップでは、積極的傾聴と共感的傾聴の概念について説明し、看護学生、指導者、病院の管理者やスタッフがより共感的で積極的な傾聴者になるための活動を参加者に紹介する。ポジティブ心理学に基づいたこのアクティビティは、「Worries Survey」と題された道具を使い、聴くだけでなく聴かれる機会を提供します。この活動は、教室でも、教員の能力開発会議でも使えます。
Small Room: M. Chang, "From Wounds to Wellness"
This presentation will follow up on my research study “Nursing workplace culture: where have all the young nurses gone, three case studies” (Nexus, 2021). I will review the challenges and difficulties that novice nurses faced in their new workplaces and, in keeping with the conference theme of “From Words to Wellness,” offer suggestions for change and improvement in the onboarding and continuing support of new nurses. Especially, the concept of the “wounded healer,” which was coined by Carl Jung, will be introduced to explore possible ways to utilize the adverse negative experiences of young nurses as a basis for positive professional transformation from wounds to wellness and resilience.
カール・ユングが開発した「傷ついたヒーラー」のコンセプトが紹介され、日本の新人看護師が新しいキャリアの最初の、そしてしばしば困難な調整期間をサポートするのに役立つ方法が探求されます。
Main Room: N. Duff & K. Takai, "Voicing Confidence: The Impact of Positive Self-Talk on Speaking Test Performance"
Speaking tests can often make students feel anxious. Even for the well-prepared, anxiety can lead to issues such as the mind going blank, rapid speech, and difficulty concentrating. These effects of anxiety can impede effective communication, ultimately leading to lower performance scores that fail to accurately reflect the students' true language abilities. One promising strategy for managing this anxiety is known as anxiety reappraisal. This positive self-talk technique involves individuals telling themselves "I feel excited" as a means to reframe and mitigate their nervousness. This presentation explores the use and effectiveness of anxiety reappraisal within an EFL context, specifically during speaking tests with nursing students. Survey data and test results reveal encouraging outcomes; students who used anxiety reappraisal reported lower levels of anxiety and achieved slightly higher test scores.
英語のスピーキングテストは多くの学生に不安を引き起こし、パフォーマンスに悪影響を及ぼす。その結果、実際の言語能力を正確に反映した評価が得られないことがある。こういった不安を管理するための有望な戦略の1つが「不安の再評価」である。「私はワクワクしている」と自分に言い聞かせることで緊張を和らげる。本発表は、看護学生のスピーキングテストにおける「不安の再評価」の有効性を探るものである。
Small Room: Y. Atsumi: "Integrating Authentic Learning Experiences for Nursing Students: Scaffolding Across Nursing, English, and Exchange Programs"
The globalization of healthcare and socio-economic shifts in Japan necessitate advanced, internationalized nursing education. Despite the recognized importance of nursing roles in international communities with diversity, as stated in the Model Core Curriculum for Nursing Education (2017), the implementation of English language learning remains incomplete. While many nursing students aspire to use English in their future careers, their interest often diminishes as the focus shifts towards nursing over the four years. This presentation proposes to design integrated authentic learning experiences for nursing students, fostering a scaffolded approach across nursing, English, and exchange programs to continuous language learning. Out-of-classroom activities will be shared, focusing on preparation for simulation training during study trips to the US, alongside class-assigned interviews with exchange students, hosting student exchanges, and attending conferences in English. The careful coordination of scaffolding, addressing both English proficiency and nursing readiness throughout the four years, could transform current nursing education.
医療のグローバル化と日本の社会経済的変化に伴い、看護教育は高度化、国際化が求められている。多様な文化、国際社会において看護職が果たす役割の重要性は認識されているものの、看護教育における英語学習の取り組みは十分とは言えない。多くの看護学生は、将来看護師として英語でのケアが提供できる語学力の獲得を望みつつ、学年が上がるにつれて専攻科目以外の英語に対する関心は薄れる傾向にある。本発表では、看護、英語、国際交流プログラムを統合した足場かけ(scaffolding)を設定した、看護学生のための真正な学習経験デザイン、教育実践を提案する。アメリカ看護研修に向けた事前研修、特にシミュレーション演習に向けた看護英語学習を中心に紹介する。4年間に渡る英語能力と看護のレディネス(readiness)を考慮した足場かけと国際交流体験の積み重ねは、看護教育に変革をもたらすかも知れない。
Main Room: M. Nabuchi, "The Significance of English Proficiency in Nursing Practice: Voices from Nurses"
Many nurses acknowledge the significance of English proficiency; however, the practical application of this skill in nursing duties remains unclear for many. Proficient English skills could empower nurses to enhance care for foreign patients, conduct effective literature searches, and contribute substantially to their career development. The presenter will share a personal experience, complemented by a literature review and delve into the challenges associated with the insufficient application of English in nursing practice. The discussion will touch upon the presenter's decision to pursue nursing studies abroad and the reasons behind this choice. Identified gaps in English learning within nursing education may stem from a lack of awareness regarding the necessity and practical applications of English in the field. The presenter proposes solutions to address these challenges, emphasizing the integration of English proficiency into nursing education to better prepare nurses for diverse and global healthcare environments.
働く上で英語力は必要だと感じている看護師は多いが、実際看護業務にどう活用できるのかまでを理解している看護師は多くない。十分な英語力を持った看護師が増えると、外国人患者に対するケアの質向上が見込まれることはもちろん、英語の文献検索が看護師間で活発に使われることや、看護師当人たちにとってのキャリア発展にも寄与することが見込まれる。発表者は、文献調査を行いながら自身の個人的な経験を共有し、現時点で不十分な、英語と看護業務の課題を深掘りしていく。発表者自身が看護留学しようと決断した理由とその過程のなかで見えてきた、看護業界における英語の壁と、その解決策を提案していく。これらの解決により看護教育と英語力の親和性を高め、日本の看護師がグローバルな医療現場により一層適応していくことを願う。
Main Room: T. Inada, "Psychological Factors and Grades in English and Nursing Education"
The aim of this study was to investigate potential correlations between psychological factors and grades in English and nursing courses, to explore what psychological factors enhance grades in each course, and ultimately to suggest appropriate psychological support for students. Forty-seven out of 75 sophomore students at a Nursing University participated in a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire study. The research posited a hypothesis that students exhibiting motivation, autonomy, confidence, a growth mindset, and diligence in English classes might also excel in nursing subjects and it was demonstrated by cluster analysis. Linear multiple regression analysis revealed that confidence emerged as a predictor of test scores in English, while a growth mindset played a crucial role in predicting scores in nursing subjects. The psychological factors that showed significant correlations with grades differed between English and nursing subjects. The study concluded that further research was imperative to unravel the underlying reasons for these results.
本研究の目的は、心理的要因と英語および看護コースの成績との潜在的な相関関係を調査し、それぞれのコースにおいてどのような心理的要因が成績を向上させるかを探り、最終的には学生に対する適切な心理的支援を提案することである。看護系大学の2年生75名のうち47名が5段階リッカート尺度の質問紙調査に参加した。研究では、英語の授業で意欲、自律性、自信、成長マインドセット、勤勉性を示す学生は、看護科目でも優秀である可能性があるという仮説を立て、クラスター分析によって実証した。線形重回帰分析の結果、英語では自信がテスト得点の予測因子として浮上し、看護科目では成長マインドセットが得点予測に重要な役割を果たすことが明らかになった。成績と有意な相関を示した心理的要因は、英語科目と看護科目で異なっていた。本研究は、これらの結果の根本的な理由を解明するためには、さらなる研究が不可欠であると結論づけた。
Main Room: A. Crosby, "Silence in English Classes: Differing Perceptions Between Western and Japanese Teachers"
Despite being well-researched, the silence of Japanese university students, including nursing students, in English language classroom contexts remains an ongoing phenomenon. This research aimed to uncover new data about this phenomenon which may help English teachers teaching nursing students. Using semi-structured interviews with eight experienced English teachers, four prominent reasons for the silence among Japanese university students in English classes were uncovered In addition to the four reasons why Japanese students were perceived as being silent in class, the interviews revealed specific instances where Japanese university students displayed investment in English language classes. These five instances had one common factor: Imagined identities. An imagined identity is one that a student envisages or aspires to be. Through this imagined identity, the learner fosters a sense of commitment and involvement which may lead to enhanced language learning. This research may have implications for English teachers aiming to improve English language teaching in Japanese nursing universities.
日本の大学生の英語授業における沈黙は、よく研究されているにもかかわらず、依然として進行中の現象である。本研究は、この現象に関する新たなデータを明らかにすることを目的とした。経験豊富な英語教師8名を対象に半構造化インタビューを行い、日本人の大学生が英語の授業で沈黙する4つの顕著な理由を明らかにした。日本人の学生が授業中に沈黙していると思われる4つの理由に加え、インタビューの結果、日本人の大学生が英語の授業で投資を示す具体的な事例が明らかになった。この5つの事例には、ある共通点があった: 想像上のアイデンティティである。想像されたアイデンティティを通して、学生は自律的に英語を学び、勉強することができた。本研究の成果は、日本の大学における英語教育の改善を目指す英語教員に示唆を与えるものである。
