The study analyzed the use of “ACTION TUAT,” a multimodal communication website designed for international students and researchers to learn how they can interact actively with people around them in Japan. It uses two evaluation methods: 1) Google Analytics to investigate the user features and track their website activities; 2) qualitative text data obtained by questionnaires from Japanese language learners. The results show that: 1) we should consider the timing of its publicity for different audiences, 2) further enrich the relevant content materials, and 3) incorporate user-supplied video material to improve the integration of community building and contextualized language learning.
