Abstract
For university students majoring in science and technology, practical education, such as experiments, is an essential means to understand scientific technique as actual phenomena and to acquire the practical skills. During such classes, oral communication is commonplace for giving instructions and information on the apparatus and procedure of the experiments. It is of vital importance, therefore, to teach the students from overseas at an early stage the special terms and expressions which are not used in everyday Japanese. The video covers the selected basic terminology and expressions on the apparatus, phenomena, procedures, extent, volume etc. in the 3 domains of physics, chemistry and mathematics which are difficult to be understood by written explanation or drawings. Each theme is dealt with a duration of several minutes. Since the educational video was developed as an introductory course for improving the ability to understand and communicate in science technical terms, it covers a series of terms related with a specific concept rather than a comprehensive list of terms. With the main focus on oral Japanese in science and technology, it is a "teaching material for Japanese communication in science and technology".
