Research Abstract

This project proposed a resource model for learning foreign languages based on regional cultures by constructing a visual dictionary focusing on the Okinawan culture in three languages(English, Chinese, and Japanese). The model is designed with a virtual tour of typical sight-seeing destinations such as Tsuboya and Kokusai Dori. Besides the referential function attained by the visual dictionary, effective ways of learning foreign languages such as dictation, quizzes, and authentic conversations are used to enhance the quality of the model for language learning.
