Basic research for the integration of discourse studies and the teaching of Japanese and for developing multi-media language material for trial purposes

本研究的目的是利用信息工程的研究成果，将语篇研究与日语教学相结合。此外，本研究旨在建立一个日语口语语料库，并利用该语料库开发出培养自然交际能力的初步多媒体语言材料。1.构建了一个多语言、多用途的口语语料库。构建了“语篇研究”和“外语教育与网络日语教育”的调查问卷。开发了日语基本转录系统(BTSJ)口语编码和转写的多功能表格程序。开发了第一版韩语基础转录系统(BTSK)、汉语基础转录系统(BTSC)和基础英语基础转录系统(BTSE)。日语口语语料库的一部分已向公众开放，以供广泛应用。利用本研究构建的语料库进行研究。对初步的多媒体语言教材的开发情况进行了总结。1.利用语料库开发了培养自然交际能力的多媒体语言教材。本研究的成果已在国内外学术团体中进行了展示。举行了一次专题讨论会，以报告和讨论这项研究的结果，并交流信息。

The purposes of this research are to integrate discourse studies and the teaching of Japanese using the results of information engineering studies. Further, this research aims to construct a corpus of spoken Japanese and to develop preliminary multi-media language materials for fostering natural communications skills using the corpus.<Summary of the results of the research for the integration of discourse studies and the teaching of Japanese>1. A corpus of spoken language on a multilingual and multipurpose basis was constructed.2. An investigation of "discourse studies" and "Foreign education and Japanese language education using the Web" was constructed.3. A multifunctional program for tabulating the coding and transcribing spoken language using Basic Transcription System for Japanese (BTSJ) was developed.4. The first version of Basic Transcription System for Korean (BTSK), Basic Transcription System Chinese (BTSC) and Basic Transcription System English (BTSE) were developed.5. A part of the corpus of spoken Japanese was opened to the public to share it by wide application.6. The research using the corpus constructed in this research was conducted.<Summary of the development of preliminary multi-media language materials>1. Multi-media language materials for fostering natural communication skills using the corpus were developed.<Summary of the entire research>1. In this research, the core of e-Learning teaching materials using natural conversation was developed ahead of the times.2. The results of this research were presented at domestic and international academic societies.3. A symposium was held to report and discuss the outcome of this research and to exchange information.
