A Teachable Agent for the Japanese Dictogloss Learning Support Environment

Abstract

Dictogloss is one of the methods of learning a second language. In dictogloss activity, learners listen to a short text spoken by the teacher, after which they first reconstructs what they have heard individually and then complete the text in discussion with one another. Having already implemented a Japanese dictogloss learning environment without learning partners and a teacher for the beginner level. We focus in this paper on the learning environment for the intermediate learner. We anticipate that the learning by teaching method will help intermediate learners to improve their target knowledge. We have thus implemented teachable agent in our previous environment.
