Abstract
This paper reports the outline, criteria and results of the final oral communication test of the preliminary Japanese language program for Indonesian "Kaigofukushi-shi" (care giver) candidates, who came to Japan under the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). The test consisted of Q&A to assess general Japanese oral communication ability and role play for specific Japanese. On preparing the evaluation chart, we considered the need to show levels of achievement, and to provide employers of the candidates with data for planning further Japanese language learning. We also clarified the evaluation chart for role play, so that Japanese language teachers with little knowledge of nursing care may evaluate the Role Play performance.
