Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop and verify the effectiveness of an "individually adaptable Japanese grammar learning material" that allows each child with hearing impairment to study independently according to his or her own Japanese language ability. The study database was created based on the results of essays and comprehension tests written by children with hearing impairment, and a database of daily life sentences corresponding to each difficulty level was created. The software was evaluated favorably in terms of usability and usefulness for use in instruction, but the operability and visibility of the software needed to be improved.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現代の情報化社会では、自立した生活のために聴覚障害児に対してより高次な日本語能力が求められているが、その指導に利用できるICT教材は限られている。本研究で試作・検証した学習教材ソフトは、日常生活において使用する頻度の高い表現を用いて、初級から中級程度までの日本語文法を扱え、子どもの言語発達や特徴に応じた課題が呈示できることに特徴があり、日本語の学習を自主的・意欲的に進めるための機会を提供できると考える。
