We carried out the Japanese pre-training course to candidates for the JIEPA Nursing and Care-Workers Program over 4 months in Indonesia and 2 months in Japan. We placed the utmost emphasis on improving Japanese communicative skills to an acceptable level required from employees in the workplace. From the middle of the elementary course we began teaching terms and usage specific to nursing or caring situations, and then gradually increased the weight of focus placed on workplace-specific Japanese. The vast amount of content taught was divided into three categories: "Japanese for usage", "Japanese for understanding", and "Japanese to be aware of".
