Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project produced three noteworthy results. First, we developed a collection of web applications that can help basic-level learners raise their practical English skill levels. We found several ways to incorporate the web apps into various educational settings in Japan. Second, our system allowed individual users who were basic-level learners of English to set their own optimal numerical goals for their various learning activities. Finally, we launched a portal website and published a report on this project to unveil some of our web apps and research offshoots.
