DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the years since World War II, the U.S. has grown increasingly dependent on foreign-born health care providers at all levels of the health care system. Today 1.1 million immigrants account for 13 percent of all health care providers in the U.S.(Paral, 2004). Foreign-born practitioners, whether educated in the U.S. or abroad, face tremendous challenges adjusting to differences in language, culture and healthcare practices in the U.S. (Doutrich, 2001; McMahon, 2004; Yi & Jezewskii, 2000; Xu & Davidhizar, 2004). We propose to develop a multi media educational tool that will integrate instruction in language, culture, and U.S. healthcare practices to improve the overall communicative competence of foreign-born health care providers. The Intercultural Communication Workshop (1C Workshop) will provide strategies for improving intelligibility, vocabulary, communication skills, and knowledge of U.S. culture as it shapes health care. Instruction will be embedded in clinical scenarios and enriched with audio/video simulations of interactions for demonstration and practice. The 1C workshop can be revisited over time as learners' needs change and an integrated assessment of communicative competence will allow users to set learning goals and measure their progress. The Baseline Assessment of Communicative Competence (BACC) will generate user profiles based on native language, years speaking English, level of employment in the health care system, and performance on the four dimensions of instruction which will direct users to targeted instruction in Phase II. The computer-based workshop can be used as an adjunct to formal courses and orientations programs or stand alone as self-paced instruction. The workshop will provide ongoing opportunities for practice and reinforcement when courses have been completed. Foreign-born employees, employers, educators, and professional associations will make up a sizable market for the 1C Workshop. In Phase I we will develop and field test the multimedia BACC and the first module on speech intelligibility. The Phase I assessment and module will target Filipino nurses, one of the largest segments of the foreign-born health care labor force. We will also develop software for creating user profiles from the BACC and for rule-based branching that will direct users to relevant instruction in Phase II. Our Phase I goals are to demonstrate the feasibility of a computer-based assessment of communicative competence and establish preliminary construct validity of the BACC.

描述（由申请人提供）：自第二次世界大战以来，美国越来越依赖于外国出生的医疗保健提供者在医疗保健系统的各个层面上。今天，110万移民占美国所有医疗保健提供者的13％（Paral，2004年）。无论是在美国还是在国外接受教育，外国出生的从业人员都面临着巨大的挑战，适应美国语言，文化和医疗保健实践的差异（Doutrich，2001; McMahon，2004; Yi＆Jezewskii，2000; Xu＆Davidhizar，2004年）。我们建议开发一种多媒体教育工具，该工具将整合语言，文化和美国医疗保健实践的指导，以提高外国出生的医疗保健提供者的整体交流能力。跨文化传播研讨会（1C研讨会）将提供提高美国文化塑造医疗保健的清洁性，词汇，沟通技巧和知识的策略。教学将嵌入临床场景中，并具有相互作用的音频/视频模拟，以进行演示和实践。随着学习者的需求变化，可以随着时间的推移重新审视1C研讨会，并且对交流能力的综合评估将使用户能够设定学习目标并衡量其进度。对交流能力的基线评估（BACC）将基于母语，多年英语，医疗保健系统中的就业水平以及在四个教学的四个维度上的绩效生成用户概况，这将指导用户在第二阶段中的目标指导。基于计算机的研讨会可以用作正式课程和方向计划的辅助手段，也可以单独用作自定进度的指导。研讨会将在完成课程完成后提供持续的练习和加强机会。外国出生的雇员，雇主，教育工作者和专业协会将在1C车间构成大量的市场。在第一阶段，我们将开发和现场测试多媒体BACC和语音清晰度的第一个模块。第一阶段评估和模块将以菲律宾护士为目标，菲律宾护士是外国出生的卫生保健劳动力的最大领域之一。我们还将开发用于从BACC创建用户配置文件和基于规则的分支的软件，这些软件将引导用户在第二阶段中的相关指令。我们的I阶段目标是证明基于计算机的交流能力评估的可行性，并建立BACC的初步构造有效性。
