Abstract
In order to make the task of learning Kanji more interesting and effective Macquarie University and Fujitsu Australia Ltd have developed a multimedia computer courseware package called 'Kantaro I', which introduces 200 Kanji with graphics and games. With 'Morphing' techonology, learners can see the transformation of a picture into Kanji, thus, allowing them to connect the form of the Kanji with the meaning. 'Kantaro I' also uses mnemonics to aid the learner's long-term memory of Kanji. 'Kantaro II' is now being developed to introduce a further 700 Kanji.
