| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To help Japanese university EFL learners sustain their vocabulary learning and develop their English proficiency so that they can express their own opinions in English internationally, this study developed an e-portfolio system that allows learners to record and save the target words they encounter online, to search for them in online dictionaries, to practice them in several ways including written and oral rehearsals, and to share their own output with peers. The system also provides learners with multimedia materials combined with computer-mediate communication functions to give them ample opportunities to express their own ideas among peers. The system is now employed as one of the major functions on a learning management system at large-scale higher education institutions in Japan as well as made available to the public online.
