| 概要 |
Despite the quantity and quality of the country’s biomedical research and innovation, Japanese doctors seem to present their findings infrequently via poster and oral presentations at international co...nferences. While anecdotal accounts suggest that self-consciousness over their English ability may lead to reticence in presenting, until now a study to examine the veracity of this claim has been lacking. For this reason, 200 staff at three separate medical facilities in Western Japan were surveyed by paper questionnaire to identify factors that precluded more frequent participation. Here, results indicated that lack of confidence in their ability to communicate their findings and field questions in English seemed to be the strongest precluding factor, but it was not the only one. Travel costs and job-related time constraints were also strong factors overall, with men and those respondents over 40 identifying both at higher rates than their female counterparts and those under 40, respectively. Additionally, surgeons were more likely than their non-surgeon and“lab work focus”colleagues to implicate excessive work as a factor. The overall findings suggest that varied educational and cultural considerations must be considered concurrently in any attempt to increase the number of presentations by Japanese doctors at international conferences. As implications for English instructors specifically, providing increased exposure to the target context through English journal clubs and similar contexts is a feasible short- term goal for addressing this issue with Japanese medical students and physician–researchers interested in sharing their research with an international audience.続きを見る
