چکیده
This paper describes aspects of a research in progress. The research is concerned with identifying various forms of L1 interference in the process of acquiring L2, namely in terms of cultural differences, and the difficulties these might create for students. We are also working on instructional strategies and activities to help overcome such difficulties. We aim to map this information in an authoring/learning management system (LMS) that could assist both teachers and students, using ontological engineering (OE), a knowledge management methodology. In this paper, using the example of meeting someone for the first time, we illustrate how cultural differences can be at play in this process, briefly introduce OE and illustrate how our LMS might work. この文書は調査の進展の状況を説明しているものである。このリサーチ作用は、 L-2を取得するプロセスの中での L-1の干渉による、つまり、文化の相違とか、、 またこれらの相違が学生に与える困難との関わりに於ける様々な形式を識別す る作業に関して行なったものである。私達は又、そのような困難をいかに克服 するかを手助けする指導戦略と活動に関しても仕上げ作業を行なっているもの である。私達はこの情報を、存在論的エンジニアリング法(OE)、知識管理方 法論を使って、教師、学生の双方の役に立つオーサリング/学習管理システム (LMS)に取り入れる事を目指している。本文書では、人々がお互いに初めて 会った場合を例にして、OE を簡単に説明し、LMS 法がどの様に作用するかを 簡潔に実例で示しながら、、このプロセスの中で遊びに於けるお互いの文化の相
