抄録

With the increasing exchange of human resources in university research sites, environment and safety education is required to respond to university globalization.This study report on efforts at a graduate school from the viewpoint that environment and safety education for international students must be devised in consideration of the diverse backgrounds of international students and with awareness of differences in safety education and customs in their home countries. The three main points of discussion were "how to deal with language problems," "how to devise content," and "how to enhance educational effectiveness. As for innovations to language issues, the importance of lowering the linguistic hurdle through the use of multilingual and nonlinguistic teaching materials was discussed. In addition, as a way to address content issues, the necessity of learning the cultural background of the target culture by learning the behaviors that unconsciously exist in each culture, which is a prerequisite for environment and safety education, was discussed. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the teacher's own education was discussed in terms of how to enhance the effectiveness of education by shifting the position of the teacher from one who receives education to one who gives it. In the future, it is also important to consider how safety education should be provided in anticipation of increased human traffic at universities.
