| Research Abstract |
We have developed an internet-based and integrated learning system for written and spoken Japanese. And we carried out global field testing and evaluation for the system. The system is web-based, therefore any learner can use anytime anywhere on their convenience. The system consists of two components such as "iCampus" (Integrated Campus using Advanced Multimedia Processing in a Ubiquitous Society) and "uPal" (United Portal for Advanced Learning).
In the "iCampus" component, learners can examine reading comprehension, listening comprehension and reading-listening comprehension for Japanese such as EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission) held by Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO). By testing and evaluation by 10 students at university in USA, the component is available for Japanese examination in the Internet.
In the "uPal" component, learners can easily use multiple dictionary searching for Yahoo, Google, MSN, Goo, Infoseek, Excite, Reading Tutor and Wikipedia and audio playing by text-to-speech for web-based HTML and PDF texts in the Internet. The component is useful for integrated learning in spoken and written Japanese.
The system is now available at the following URLs.
