One of the factors which determine how effectively languages are learned is language anxiety. This paper focus on how language anxiety is interpreted. Therefore, in order to cast one of the causes of language anxiety, namely failure, in a positive manner, the strategy of learning from failure was taught, and its effect tested. What is important in this case is that traditional classroom learning was found to be unsuitable for this approach. This paper describes the alternative learning methods that were adopted, including how they were formulated and developed into two different sets of e-learning materials. In the group that was taught the learning strategy of learning from failure, there was a lower fear of risk in applying the strategy. Also, in the case of failure, when the mistakes were corrected on the spot, the use of strategies calculated to minimize damage to relationships was observed.

This paper proposes a web-based environment that helps runners' self-regulation of pace for stable running. The objective of the support is to promote physical-skill awareness which stabilizes their heart-rate by adjustments of their pace during running. In this scenario, runners are given recommended heart-rate zone individually in order to follow it. In training, runners exercise with GPS (Global Positioning System) and HRM (Heart Rate Monitor). They refer to the pace-simulation system with a map-based annotation after running. Annotations are generated automatically through analysis of their log data. They indicate sections of improvements on the course and promote comprehension about the relationship between runners' heart-rate and pace through consideration of environmental factors. Finally, the system helps runners to reflect upon their regulation of pace toward the next training. We conducted the experiment. The result shows that the system promotes runners' heart-rate stabilization through awareness about the self-regulation of their pace.
