Development of an English Language Learning System Aided by Knowledge Communication Technology

Towards the Development of Fundamental English Language Skills

Abstract

　With the advance of globalization, the development of English language skills among Japanese people is an important issue that plays a role in strengthening Japan's international competitiveness. However, the fact that the basic English language skills are not sufficiently established is a decisive factor preventing the efficient development of Japanese people's English language skills. This paper introduces the basic design of a pilot version of a training system with top-down tasks and feedback, which is being developed with the aim of acquiring the language competence and operational skills required for fundamental English language proficiency.
