Description
In this presentation, I report on an ongoing replication and extension of Yashima’s (2002) International Posture framework among Japanese female pharmacy majors in a women’s university. While internationalization has become an increasingly important goal in Japanese higher education, relatively little research has examined how STEM learners, particularly women in health sciences, perceive international engagement and the role of English in their imagined futures.
Using a cross-sectional design, the study compares first-, second-, and third-year students in two pharmacy-related programs: a six-year program in which students are eligible to obtain pharmacist licenses, and a four-year program in which graduates often pursue careers in the pharmaceutical sciences, including work as cosmeticians or researchers. Participants complete the original Japanese version of Yashima’s International Posture survey along with supplementary open-ended questions concerning future academic goals and perceived relevance of English to participation in scientific and professional communities.
