A research on telecommunications and e-learning teaching materials of Spanish as a foreign language

1)为了研究利用电信与遥远国家的母语人士学习外语，我们在爱知县立大学(日本)和巴塞罗那大学(西班牙)学生之间组织了四个联合班。多亏了巴塞罗那的马尔·克鲁兹教授的合作，我们成功地实现了我们的目标。我们得出结论，电信对中级学生非常有效。他们在这个过程的所有阶段都学到了很多：备课、课程本身和课后反思。我们和我们的西班牙同行注意到了它在自我管理研究方面的巨大成效。2)Tukahara和Itoigawa负责收集西班牙当地西班牙语的语言样本。首席调查员Hideo Hotta研究了不偏向某一特定地区的基本的标准西班牙语模式，主要是关于危地马拉西班牙语中的形式用法。3)Itoigawa研究了西班牙语-日语词典中的男性和女性形象，并向学生展示了一些定义中的性别歧视例子以及存在的问题。4)Tukahara制作了一个学习西班牙语的互动视频，并因西班牙语作为外语的课堂的教育创新申请了“Cristobal de Villalon”一等奖。他和Hotta准备了各种西班牙语电子学习内容，并在网站上提供，如语法解释、动词表、练习、音频等。

1) In order to study the use of telecommunications for foreign language learning with native speakers in distant countries we organized four joint classes between Aichi Prefectural University (Japan) and Barcelona University (Spain) students. Thanks also to the collaboration of Barcelona's professor Mar Cruz, we were successful in our purposes.We concluded that telecommunications are extremely effective for intermediate students. They managed to learn a lot in all stages of the process: class preparation, the class itself, and post-class reflection. We and our Spanish counterpart noticed its great effectiveness regarding self management study.2) Tukahara and Itoigawa were in charge to collect language samples of the local Spanish in Spain. Head investigator, Hideo Hotta, studied basic, standard Spanish model not biased to a specific region, chiefly about addressing forms usage in Guatemalan Spanish.3) Itoigawa examined men and women's images in Spanish-Japanese dictionaries and showed students examples of sexism in some definitions and what the problems were.4) Tukahara made an interactive video to learn Spanish and applied for the First Prize of "Cristobal de Villalon" for the educational innovation in the class of the Spanish as a Foreign Language. He and Hotta prepared and made available on a web site various Spanish e-learning contents such as grammar explanations, verb tables, exercises, audios, etc.
