A Study on Creation of Supplementary Learning Materials for Foreign Language by Using Comics

Abstract

This paper reports a study on creation of supplementary learning materials for foreign language by using comics. We propose a method to make a learning material for role words of Japanese and make an interface for learning the role words. We experimented with the interface for verifying the efficiency of the method. Participants of the experiment learned 30 role words for three days and took a test to answer appropriate role words. The participants with the interface marked higher scores than scores by participants who learned role words by using textbooks.
