Development of Computer Assisted Instrucion Program of Kanji Usages for Foreign Learners

为了使外国学习者在日语学习中掌握汉字和汉字词汇，我们制定了一套适合初级和中级水平的汉字用法练习方案。计算机辅助教学（CAI）程序的汉字用法的初学者在Macintosh计算机上工作。采用以下三种模式，对500个基本汉字及其复合词进行了45课时的学习；1)学习模式2)实践模式3)测试模式中级水平的练习计划应包括以下类型的练习；1)各种复合词中的汉字用法，2)构词规则，3)汉字词性，4)句子中的共现，5)同义词的用法等，但目前还停留在文书工作阶段。在这个项目开始的时候，我们计划让我们的学生使用CAI程序并分析结果来改进练习的内容和格式，但是由于时间的限制，我们无法完成最后的阶段。我们现在计划在筑波大学国际学生中心的日语课程中使用初级CAI课程，并完成中级课程。

In order to make foreign learners possible to master kanji and kanji words in Japanese language learning, we developed a exercise program of Kanji usages for beginners' and intermediate levels.The Computer Assisted Instruction(CAI) program of Kanji usages for beginners works on Macintosh computers. It provides 45 lessons for 500 basic kanjii and their compounds using the following 3 modes ; 1) learning mode, 2) practice mode, and 3) testing mode. The exercise program for intermediate level should include the following types of exercises ; 1)kanji usages in various compound words, 2)word formation rules, 3)parts of speech of kanji words, 4)cooccurrence in sentences, 5)usages of synonyms and so on, but it still remains at paper work stage.At the beginning of this project, we planned to ask our students to use the CAI program and analyze the result to improve the contents of the exercises and its format, but due to limitation of time could not finish the final stage. We are now planning to use the CAI program for beginners' level in the Japanese language course in the International Student Center, University of Tsukuba, and to complete the program for intermediate level as well.
