Development of Collaboration System for Japanese Culture and Japanese Language

构建“日本形象”这个网上协作学习系统的目的有四个：第一，建立一个有效的网络学习环境的框架；第二，设计一个传播日本文化信息的程序；第三，为中等语言水平的人设计一份有吸引力的日语计算机辅助语言学习材料；第四，提供一个网站作为用户相互理解、合作与合作的场所。考虑到合作和合作的理念，我们还设计了这个在《日本图像》中提供的语言节目，配备了设施，鼓励用户不仅相互交流，而且通过提问、通过电子邮件回复练习和对节目发表评论等方式与我们互动。我们也不能经常访问日本节目。从对该节目的有限评论中，我们迄今了解到，对日本节目缺乏兴趣和参与的原因之一是，原始节目提供了足够和适当的音频信息或视频。

The purposes of having constructed "Images of Japan", a collaborative learning system on the internet, are fourfold : firstly, to develop a framework of effective network-based learning environment ; secondly, to design a program to disseminate information on Japanese culture ; thirdly, to design an attractive Japanese Computer-Assisted Language Learning materials for those with intermediate level of language abilities ; and fourthly, to offer the web site as a place for mutual understanding, collaboration and cooperation among users. Taking the notion of collaboration and cooperation into consideration, we also have designed this language program offered in the "Images of Japan" to be equipped with facilities to encourage users to interact not only with each other but also with us in the manner of asking questions, emailing replies to the exercises and giving their comments on the program, etc. Nor could we observe frequent visits to the Japanese program. Out of a limited amount of comments on the program, we have so far understood that one of the reasons for this lack of interest and participation in the Japanese program is attributable to the fact that the original program provided sufficient and appropriate audio information or video.
