In the present study, a total of 10 college students and 2 accompanying teachers stayed in Adelaide, South Australia, for approximately one week in order to participate in specialized and practical training. The students’ goals in this training were to understand cultural differences and the importance of multicultural symbiosis, and to increase their motivation to learn about their field by studying English and observing facilities related to their field. This study aimed to obtain an insight into improving health and welfare training by clarifying the educational effects of training as international communication on these students. By participating in the training, these students realized that a language is one of the communication tools, understood differences in values and cultures, and deepened their understanding of their own field, which indicated an increase in their motivation to pursue their field. Thus, the goals of our training were generally achieved.
