Forum explores curriculum changes and AI integration in nursing English instruction for CALD patient care.
This paper provides a summary of the forum on English for Nursing Purposes (ENP), which was organized by the Japan Association for Nursing English Teaching. Six English instructors with experience teaching nursing students in Japan served as panelists and introduced their teaching contexts, which was followed by an introduction to factors influencing the teaching of nursing students to care for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) patients. These factors include Japan’s growing population of foreign residents and tourists, initiatives by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to enhance care for CALD patients, and the low priority given to language studies within nursing programs. Panelists and participants then explored topics relevant to instructors of nursing English such as textbook selection, course content and classroom management, the integration of AI in language learning, and revision of the English curricula within nursing departments.
