| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research will apply a grammar "toolkit" developed from parsed corpora of English and Japanese to real textual materials for language teaching purposes. This will provide students with grammatical analysis skills for criticising and improving their own language use.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aimed to utilise for the purposes of language teaching two parsed corpora developed largely in tandem: the NINJAL Parsed Corpus of Modern Japanese (NPCMJ) and the Treebank Semantics Parsed Corpus (TSPC). While these corpora are for very different languages, Japanese and English respectively, there is considerable overlap, both in terms of parallel data, as well as principles of linguistic analysis, and the accessibility of the analysis through a shared web-interface with search functionality.
The research plan involved developing a program for language teaching using these parsed corpora. Components developed were: 1) a grammar textbook focused on English language learning for Japanese students at university level, 2) further enhancements to the grammatical analysis of the corpora, notably adding codes to mark the complementation patterns of verbs, and 3) the development of a "toolkit" for analysis creation, for students to start analysing their own written language.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の独創的な点は、外国語教育に直接文統語解析を利用することにある。このことは、類似のアノテーションを施したコーパスが日本語、英語双方に存在することにより可能となる。学習者は、実際に学習項目の文法事象の統語解析を、解析結果の視覚化システムの補助を受けて進めることによって理解するようになる。
本研究により、実際のテクストデータに対する言語分析ツールキットの適用例を示すことができた。テクストの解析結果を見ることは、文法理解の過程をリアルに知ることに他ならない。これにより、学生は、豊かな文法解析情報を持つコーパスの参照を通じて、自分自身の言語使用を客観視しつつ向上させることが可能になる。
