Research Abstract |
Recently, researchers in educational systems attempt to provide technological support for cooperative and collaborative learning advocated by educational theories. The explosive growth of networking, in particular, raises the possibility of widespread collaborative and open-ended learning activities. We have investigated on technological support for open-ended and collaborative learning activities. In this research, CoCoA (Communicative Correction Assistant system) has been developed for supporting foreigners and teachers to exchange marked-up documents by e-mail. Its environment is very similar to a real one in which people use paper and pen. CoCoA allows teachers not only to correct the compositions sent from foreigners by E-mail, but also foreigners to see where and why the teacher had corrected them. CoCoA improves the opportunities that foreigners have for writing Japanese compositions and for receiving instructions from teachers. Next, we proposed a foreign language supporting system called Neckle (Network-based communicative kanji learning Environment). Neckle has a software agent into Internet communication environment, considering the difference between learner's mother and target languages. The agent observing the conversation between learner and native speaker, and detects communicative gap according to CGM, and notice the gap, then, supporting language learning congenial to each learner. Learners also get different knowledge from native speaker and the knowledge database is enlarged.
