Research Abstract

This research aimed to improve the vocabulary of Japanese university students' English language learning through a system that creates a profile of individual learners through reading and providing them with individualized tasks that can be completed through either a computer or a mobile phone. Until now, there was very little known about how learners look up vocabulary items through the reading process, and as a result, a system was developed which kept a record of what happens when learners look up vocabulary.
