The main objective of the current study is to investigate L2 Japanese learners’ ability to segment complex sentences from aural input. Elementaryand early intermediate-level L2 learners in general have not developed the ability to use syntactic cues to interpret the meaning of sentences they hear. In the case of Japanese, recognition of inflectional morphemes is crucial for the accurate segment...

In this research, we propose a Social Learning Management System (SLMS) enabling real-time and reliable feedback for incorrect answers by learners using a social network service (SNS). The proposed system increases the accuracy of learners’ assessment results by using a confidence scale and a variety of social feedback that is created and shared through learners’ personal SNS connections. The s...

Boosting is a kind of ensemble methods which produce a strong learner that is capable of making very accurate predictions by combining rough and moderately inaccurate learners (which are called as base learners or weak learners). In particular, Boosting sequentially trains a series of base learners by using a base learning algorithm, where the training examples wrongly predicted by a base learn...

This paper examines the application and impacts of Mobile learning in providing sustainable distance learning in the case of developing countries having multiethnic social environment. The sustainability is conditioned by the structure of learners and well as the teaching community. This paper explains these issues among the distance learners who hailed from multiethnic background. The differen...

This demonstration will illustrate an interactive immersive computer game, POMY, designed to help Korean speakers learn English. This system allows learners to exercise their visual and aural senses, receiving a full immersion experience to increase their memory and concentration abilities to a greatest extent. In POMY, learners can have free conversations with game characters and receive corre...

E-learning system utilizing learners’ characteristics which is recognized through learning processes with Open Simulator for overcoming week points is proposed. Through dialogs with avatars in the Open Simulator, it is possible to understand learners’ week points. Using learners’ characteristics, most appropriate subjects and achievement tests are provided by the proposed e-learning system. Exp...

Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems aim to increase the functionality of hypermedia by making it personalised to individual learners. The adaptive dimension of these systems mainly supports knowledge communication between the system and the learner by adapting the content or the appearance of hypermedia to the knowledge level, goals and other characteristics of each learner. The main object...

This study investigates whether or not effective learners used learning strategies differently from less effective learners in quantity as well as in quality. A total of 164 tertiary-level students learning English in Korea participated in the quantitative study, and eight students out of 164, four effective learners and four less effective earners, were chosen in the follow-up qualitative stud...

We present an attempt to extract a largescale Japanese learners’ corpus from the revision log of a language learning SNS. This corpus is easy to obtain in largescale, covers a wide variety of topics and styles, and can be a great source of knowledge for both language learners and instructors. We also demonstrate that the extracted learners’ corpus of Japanese as a second language can be used as...
