Outline of Final Research Achievements

Reading extensive English documents with comprehension test after reading is a good training for Japanese learners to comprehend English text without translating it into Japanese. They should read texts that are interesting and with an appropriate level for them. We have studied the method to generate automatically Multiple-Choice Test to support such training. The main techniques are the method for extracting the important sentences in the text and the method for paraphrasing them, which do not need a huge training data. We have developed these two methods. Although their performances are not practical level, we have got prospects of development.
