Medical Role-Plays for Future English Encounters

This presentation outlines how role-play activities were used to prepare medical students for potential future encounters with non-Japanese patients. Each role-play was designed to provide a forum for students to improve their linguistic, communicative, and intercultural competencies while sharing in feedback sessions with their instructor and peers. This presentation highlights role-play activities for third-year Japanese medical students, including the rationale, the practicalities of designing and implementing the activity, and the outcomes.
