چکیده
This study focuses on the problem of language transfer in foreign language learning. We analyze the meaning relationship between a learner's mother language and target language, and propose a CGM (Communicative Gap Model) due to language difference. We develop an educational system called Neckle (Network-based Communicative Kanji Learning Environment) to support foreign language learning through communication with native speakers. In Neckle, Pakal (Peer agent for kanji learning)observes the conversation between the learner and the native speaker, checks up the communicative gap according to CGM, and notices the gap for the support of language learning congenial to each learnr. Learners can also acquire knowledge and its backgrounds from the native speaker. The knowledge database can also be enlarged.
