Research Abstract

In the education of the university or the college, it is necessary for students to acquire the way how to research into the theme and concrete the their own ideas on it logically. The our basic approach to develop the ideas is that (l)we explain the style of report formulated by the five parts of paragraphs which consist of the "What the problem is", "Introduction", "Discussion", "Conclusion" and "Another Examples", (2)the students watch the program "Watch the Today"(30 minutes) produced by NHK TV., (3)they must write the reports according to the above style and will send them into our database. As this database is shared through the WWW internet service, the students are free to browse the previous reports at first and then the same one except for including colored sentences which are incorrect logically and/or grammatically.
We have developed a database system on the PC which supports and gives the environment for our approach and the estimation.
