From 7th May to 9th May 1996, Associate Professor Atsushi Fukada from Purdue University attended the M.I.T.Summer Intersive Techinical Japanese Course and installed the CATERS (Computer-Assisted TEchnical Reading System) in the computer service system of M.I.T.The orientation concerning the use of CATERS for the students of the summer course was carried out by the director of the course, Prof.David O.Mills, at the beginning of June.During the period from 22nd May to 20th June 1996, Prof.Fukada visited the International Student Center of the University of Tsukuba several times to attend meetings concerning the improvement of CATERS.Based on the discussions held at Tsukuba, Prof.Fukada next worked on improving the software of CATERS at Nagoya University.During July 1996, Assistant Professor Hilofumi Yamamoto and Associate Professor Chieko Kano from the University of Tsukuba visited M.I.T.to evaluate the system. Questionnaires were conducted to assess the general impression of CATERS as w … More ell as the learning characteristics of students using the system. Instructors and students were interviewed regarding the effectiveness of CATERS and students were further given a reading test. Finally, reading classes were observed for a week in order to analyze the reading comprehension learning process of students.In October 1996, Prof.Michio Tsutsui from the University of Washington, Prof.Keiko Unedaya form the University of Michigan, Prof.Kazue Yamamoto Zon from Johns Hopkins University and Prof.Richard Harrison form the University of Melbourne were invited to the University of Tsukuba. They and all the members of this project in Japan met together at the "Teaching Technical Japanese : Reading Instruction of Technical Japanese Documents" on the 26th of October. A meeting concerning the final report of this project was also held.From 17th December 1996 to 12th January 1997, Prof.Kazumi Hatasa visited the University of Tsukuba and attended another meeting concerning the final report.
