A study on self-learning support environments for Japanese language education by the use of WWW technology

本研究的目的是利用WWW技术，将在国外难以获得且价格昂贵的日语教材放到互联网上，以开发日语自学环境。本研究的目的是将已开发的日语教材转化为网络课程教材，并实施通用课程教材的研究与开发。(1)制作完网络版超钻“SHOKYUU-NIHONGO”后。，（初级日语）“由macintosh专用的HyperCard创建，我们在http://www.tufs.ac.jp/ps/personal/lin/Scard上提供了它。我们在日本语言中心进行了经验评估，并确认它可以用于使用web浏览器学习日语。我们还在网上制作了文字教材（“SHOKYUU-NIHONGO KAIWA（初级日语会话）”）和视频教材（“KENPOU TO NIHON-JIN NO SEIKATSU（日本宪法和日本生活）”），并录制了配音艺术家的声音，以提高声音质量。此外，我们还开发了课程材料，旨在缩短视觉语言元素的阅读处理时间。(2)本研究探讨制作通用教材的可能性。我们考察了一个信息教育门户网站的框架，将网站的必要功能需求分为三类：学习信息的选择，学习资料和其他东西的数据共享，以及学习者提供信息的管理。然后，我们对实现这些功能的技术方面进行了探索，绘制了一个概念系统的框图。本研究特别关注学习材料的数据共享，并研究了将数据转换为多种语言的问题。(3)具体实现我们研究了Java/Servlet在教材中的应用，并开发了一个试点系统。我们分析了教育材料，并考虑了将呈现和学习内容分离的可能性。对于Java教材程序，我们在Servlet上实现了一个实验应用，并对服务器端执行的学习软件的质量进行了测试。对于Servlet，我们首先使用WebSphere （IBM制造），但由于计算机性能问题，我们改用Tomcat（自由软件）。我们采用DB2作为数据库来积累多语言课程资料数据，用Unicode保存小规模课程资料数据，并构建一个试验系统在web浏览器上显示这些数据。少

This study aims to develop self-learning environments for the Japanese language by making Japanese language materials, which are difficult to get and expensive abroad, available on the Internet by the use of WWW technology. The purpose of tins study is to transform Japanese language materials that have already been developed into web course materials and to implement research into and development of general-purpose course materials.(1) After making a web version of hyper drill "SHOKYUU-NIHONGO., (Elementary Japanese)" created by Macintosh-specific HyperCard, we made it available at http://www.tufs.ac.jp/ps/personal/lin/Scard. We evaluated it empirically in the Center for Japanese Language, and confirmed that it could be used for learning the Japanese language using a web browser. We also made text course material ("SHOKYUU-NIHONGO KAIWA (Elementary Japanese Conversation)") and a video course material ("KENPOU TO NIHON-JIN NO SEIKATSU (The constitution and Japanese Life)") available on … More the Web, and recorded a dubbing artist's voice m order to improve die sound quality. In addition, we developed course material aiming to shorten the process time of visual language elements for reading.(2) This study examined the possibility of making general-purpose course material. Examining a framework of an information education portal site, we divided the necessary functional requirements of the web site into three categories- a selection of learning information, data sharing of learning materials and other things, and management of provision of information by learners. Then, exploring the technological aspects to realize these functions, we made a diagram of a conceptual system. In particular, this study focused on data sharing of learning materials and examined the problems in transforming data into a number of languages.(3) Concrete ImplementationWe examined die use of Java/Servlet for educational materials and developed a pilot system. We analyzed educational materials and considered the possibility of separating presentation and learning contents. For the Java course materials program, we implemented an experimental application on Servlet and tried quality of learning software executed on the server side. For Servlet, we first used WebSphere (IBM made), but because of problems of computer performance, we changed to Tomcat (free software). We adopted DB2 as a database to accumulate multilingual course materials data, saved small-scale course materials data in Unicode, and built a pilot system to show these on a web browser. Less
