Follow-up survey of understanding and conveying hibakusha testimony in English:An analysis of interpretation and changes of information

这项研究的重点是美国大学生，他们在广岛的一个和平学习项目中用英语听了Hibakusha的证词。它调查了他们如何理解和传达他们从Hibakusha听到的话，在回国后通过两项后续调查--一份问卷和一次转播对话--进行了调查。问卷以简明扼要的回答显示了他们的总体理解。另一方面，传输对话显示，对话中提到的话题随着学生对原子弹的兴趣和信息量的不同而不同，这些话题中的信息量不仅减少了，而且增加了。

This study focused on American university students who listened to hibakusha testimony in English in a peace study program in Hiroshima. It investigated how they understood and conveyed what they heard from hibakusha by two follow-up surveys, a questionnaire and a transmission conversation, after going back to their country. Questionnaires show their overall understanding by their concise answers. Transmission conversations, on the other hand, show that topics which were mentioned in the conversations vary according to students'interests and amount of information about A-bomb, and not only a decrease but also an increase of information in those topics were found.
