Research Abstract |
The purposes of having constructed "Images of Japan", a collaborative learning system on the internet, are fourfold : firstly, to develop a framework of effective network-based learning environment ; secondly, to design a program to disseminate information on Japanese culture ; thirdly, to design an attractive Japanese Computer-Assisted Language Learning materials for those with intermediate level of language abilities ; and fourthly, to offer the web site as a place for mutual understanding, collaboration and cooperation among users. Taking the notion of collaboration and cooperation into consideration, we also have designed this language program offered in the "Images of Japan" to be equipped with facilities to encourage users to interact not only with each other but also with us in the manner of asking questions, emailing replies to the exercises and giving their comments on the program, etc. Nor could we observe frequent visits to the Japanese program. Out of a limited amount of comments on the program, we have so far understood that one of the reasons for this lack of interest and participation in the Japanese program is attributable to the fact that the original program provided sufficient and appropriate audio information or video.
