Construction of a self-study online course for German as a Foreign Language, that considers the special nature of Japanese learners

我们的项目是探索是否有可能在Moodle的基础上为日本初学者创建一门自学课程。通过提问和观察，我们可以发现，学生们仍然对参加这样一门自学课程犹豫不决。其中一个原因是，学生们仍然对a)使用计算机学习和b)独立和自主地学习感到不舒服。我们研究的另一个重点是找出哪些反馈适用于不同的练习。与我们的假设相反，并不总是需要详细的反馈。根据练习的种类，有时精心设计的反馈会干扰学习过程的顺利进行。此外，我们还考察了如何在Moodle的基础上促进学生的口头表达。

Our project was about finding out if it is possible to create a self-study-course on the basis of Moodle for Japanese students on a beginner level. Through questionings and observations we could find out, that students are still hesitating taking such a self-study-course. One reason for this is students still feel not comfortable in a) using a computer for studying and b) studying independent and self-determined. Another emphasis of our research was in finding out which feedback is appropriated for different exercises. Against our assumption there is not always a need for elaborated feedback. Depending on the kind of exercise sometimes an elaborated feedback is disturbing the flow of the learning process. Furthermore we examined how to facilitate the oral expression of the students on the basis of Moodle.
