Outline of Final Research Achievements

For advanced Japanese language learners who wish to study at a Japanese university in the future, it is quite important to acquire a substantial amount of knowledge of vocabulary and the ability to use it naturally (with nativelikeness) to improve their writing skills for future academic activities. Vocabulary learning for writing should be conducted with various materials and tools. For this reason, we have developed an application which learners of Japanese writing can use before or during the writing of compositions. It enables them to refer to frequently used vocabulary along with colloccations and sample sentences.
