This study is a part of the knowledge acquired through research fieldwork at a nursing care facility in Japan. This paper focuses on the practical issues of Indonesian care workers under the EPA scheme from the view points of the candidates and the Japanese language teacher. The purpose of this research is to clarify the present situation of the actual facility where they accept the candidates, and to try to discuss the ways of feasibly supporting candidates and the care site.Foreign care worker candidates under the EPA have been accepted since 2008, and they started On-the Job Training in various parts of Japan. However, this scheme has a lot of issues involving language, the system framework, communication in intercultural care, etc. Although it seems to not be concluded in arguments that relate to many fields, one particularly severe situation involves linguistic issues; acquiring Japanese language and the measures to pass the national examination.One of the findings throughout the fieldwork is the gap between the necessary support for Japanese language learning by candidates and the support given by the Japanese language teacher at the nursing care facility as a step toward the national examination. The analysis in this paper highlights the confusion of candidates who spend a few months at the facility after arriving and the limitation that the Japanese language teacher feels. Based on the views of actual members who are working at the care facility with candidates, this research aims at giving suggestions for practical support to candidates and the care site from the Japanese language teaching site.

EPA(経済連携協定)に基づく介護福祉士候補者の日本語をめぐる問題は,日本語研修の成果と課題,国家試験に関する調査や分析等を中心に議論が重ねられてきた。一方,受入れ現場や就労場面に焦点を当てた研究は数が限られており,成果が待たれる状況にあると言える。 そこで筆者は,介護現場でフィールドワークを行い,日本人介護職員の視点からインドネシア人候補者の日本語をめぐる諸問題を明らかにすることとした。参与観察とインタビュー調査によって得られたデータを分析した結果,専門用語,リフレーズ,介護場面での日本語運用という側面から日本人介護職員の問題意識が浮き彫りにされた。本稿では,これらの問題についてデータを引用しながら実証的に論じ,受入れ現場からの知見に照らして,候補者を対象とした日本語教育および日本人介護職員への働きかけの方途を探り,課題を提起した。
