Improvement of Situational Dialog Function and Development of Learning Materials for a Japanese Dictogloss Environment

Abstract

Dictogloss is a learning activity in which learners can cooperatively learn four language skills. We have constructed a dictogloss environment that is able to self-study for learners who study second language. As a previous system, we focus two problems. The first problem is that dialog function to communicate reasons why focused word is wrong is inadequate. The second one is that there are not adequate learning materials for language forms that include communication for reasons. In this paper, we report the solutions for two problems.
