项目摘要

The aim of this study is to build a learning system for foreign students to learn Japanese making use of the latest information technology and IT environments. We also aim to create a more effective learning environment by improving the system based on the feedback from the learners' records of learning and achievements. This system offers the learners Japanese teaching materials that utilize multi-media technologies, records detailed behavior and status of the users, and combines this information with their achievements so that it could well grasp their weak points and supplement them. At the same time, we try to find a way to create effective teaching materials and page structures that ease the learning procedures. We aim to establish those system structures and teaching materials that directly affect the effectiveness of learning in listening, speaking, reading, and writing that are four important factors in language learning. We have implemented our ideas on an e-learning system and evaluated it.We arranged an experimental course where Taiwanese university freshman students at a department of Japanese used our materials on our e-learning system, and we examined the effect of our system. Our evaluation consists analyses of teachers' remarks, the users' behavior logs, and questionnaires. The teachers' remarks have revealed that the students use the system differently according to their proficiency levels. Our analyses of behavior logs and questionnaires have revealed that some of the materials are learned infrequently and thus make little contribution to their learning, and some others are difficult and so avoided. The most important achievement of this study is that it enables us to evaluate language teaching materials in terms of objective access logs in addition to the conventional evaluation of the materials from the perspectives of developers and users. This study can have some impact on development of CALL materials and new ways of evaluating them.

这项研究的目的是为外国学生建立学习系统，以学习日本使用最新信息技术和IT环境。我们还旨在根据学习者的学习和成就记录的反馈来改善系统，从而创建一个更有效的学习环境。该系统为学习者提供了日本的教材，这些教材利用了多媒体技术，记录用户的详细行为和状态，并将这些信息与其成就相结合，以便它可以很好地掌握其弱点并补充他们。同时，我们尝试找到一种方法来创建有效的教材和页面结构，以减轻学习程序。我们旨在建立那些直接影响学习，说话，阅读和写作有效性的系统结构和教材，这是语言学习中的四个重要因素。我们已经在电子学习系统上实施了想法并对其进行了评估。我们安排了一门实验课程，台湾大学新生学生在日语系中使用了我们的电子学习系统，并检查了系统的效果。我们的评估包括对教师的言论，用户的行为日志和问卷的分析。老师的讲话表明，学生根据他们的熟练程度以不同的方式使用该系统。我们对行为日志和问卷调查的分析表明，一些材料很少学习，因此对他们的学习做出了很少的贡献，而其他一些材料则很困难和避免。这项研究最重要的成就是，除了从开发人员和用户的角度对材料的常规评估外，它使我们能够根据客观访问日志评估语言教材。这项研究可能会对呼叫材料的开发和评估新方法产生一些影响。
