Study on Japanese Language Learning Support System for Japanese Language Learners Using WWW

Internet的WWW是当今信息社会中最新的信息传播媒体之一。它的页面布局功能尤其是最大的特点：您可以指定字母的颜色，并将表格，照片和个人资料的部分与字母和字符的部分区分开来。虽然WWW也是日语学习者不可缺少的信息资源，但由于汉字（即汉字）和词汇的困难，它并没有得到很好的利用。本研究开发的系统尽可能支持汉字和词汇保持页面布局，在汉字支持方面，我们开发了根据日语水平考试等级将汉字转换为平假名阅读的代理服务器。当学习者从一到四中选择级别时，分类到所选级别和较低级别的汉字不被转换，而分类到较高级别的汉字被转换为平假名阅读。当光标移动到任何汉字时，平假名阅读弹出。特别致力于处理所谓的Mazegaki单词：即由汉字和平假名组成的混合单词。词汇支持增强了在线日英和英日词典。当他或她将光标移动到该单词并单击鼠标右键选择词典时，其含义和用法将显示在单独的窗口中。本研究以搜寻引擎取代字典来检查专有名词，并利用汉字的日志资料，开发出自动处理练习与测验的系统。

WWW of the Internet is one of the newest media to send information in this information-oriented society. Its page layout function especially is the great characteristics : you can specify the color of the letters, and distinguish the part of tables, photographs and profiles from the part of letters and characters. Though WWW is indispensable information resource for Japanese language learners too, it is not well used because of the difficulties in Chinese characters (i.e.kanji) and vocabulary. This study developed the system supporting kanji and vocabulary keeping page layout as much as possible.As for kanji support, we developed the proxy server which converts kanji to hiragana reading according to the level of Japanese Language Proficiency Test. When a learner chooses the level from one to four, the kanjis classified to the chosen level and the lower level(s) are not converted while the kanjis classified to the upper lever(s) are converted to hiragana reading. Hiragana reading pop ups when a cursor is moved to any kanji. Special effort was made on handling so called mazegaki words : i.e.hybrid words consisting of kanji and hiragana.Vocabulary support enhanced online Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionaries. When he or she moves a cursor to the word and do a right-click to choose the dictionary, its meanings and usages are shown in a separate window. Checking proper nouns, search engine was introduced instead of dictionaries.Our study also developed the system automatically processing drills and tests by using the log data of kanjis.
