    This paper introduces several attempts to improve Information Education (IE) in our university since 1997. We report on the preparation process, the contents and effects of the teacher-training course for IE, the results of the questionnaire and the problems that have arisen. We also introduce new attempts at IE using students' own portable computers connected to LAN systems. Rooms wired with LAN sockets were constructed for teachertraining courses for IE after 2000.

    The following two problems are considered to be the year 2000 problems in information education in the university. One is the short-term problem of how to start "the Operation of Information Instruments Course" corresponding to the operation of the new education staff license law. The other is the mid/long-term problem of general information processing education at the university when the new guideline for teaching comes into effect, both in name and reality. It is appropriate to respond to the short-term problem with "computer literacy education" in the general information processing education course, already given in each university.Concerning the mid/long-term problem, "programming education" will probably be the main part of the general information processing education in the university.

    Information education is carried out individually at Waseda Gakuinn Senior High School and Waseda Honjo Gakuinn Senior High School, both of which are attached to Waseda University, at the present time. However, it has recently been discussed in meetings at Waseda University that the merits of the consistency of education between these two schools and the university, which is characteristic of schools attached to universities, should be stressed more and information education has become one of the topics of the discussion.In this report, information education at these two senior high schools is investigated and problems and future prospects are discussed. This project was financially supported by a Grant for Special Research Programs from Academic Affairs Division of Waseda University.

Also in the primary and the junior highschools, it is highly expected to promote information education in the new subject of“Synthesized Learning”. In order these new subjects to be taught successfully in respective schools, many problems have to be solved.These are the“Year 2000 Problems in Information Education in Japan”. Establishment of new formal subjects concerning information itself is a desirable decision by the Monbu-sho.

  • Evaluating Korean-Japanese Ｍachine Translation
    ～From Linguistics Point of View～

    Korean and Japanese are very similar in their linguistic structures. Therefore, one may expect quite a high accuracy of Korean-Japanese machine translation compared to other machine translation from Japanese to some language structurally very different from Japanese, for example, like English. However, using one of the K-J machine translation software available on the market, one ends up finding the result far short of his expectation. In this paper, linguistic mistranslations are categorized into four groups: mistranslation of words themselves, mistranslation of co-occurrence, grammatical mistranslation and textual mistranslation. By translating several texts using one of such software, we examined the number of the mistranslations of each category. According to the result, more than half of the mistranslations proved to be that of co-occurrence.

    English teaching at Japanese universities has often been criticized for its ineffectiveness. One of the reasons of the slow improvement in students' English proficiency is the lack of teaching/learning hours of English in university curriculum. For the purpose of increasing students' learning hours, a computer-assisted English training program was carried out outside the curriculum. This paper describes the procedures for implementing the program, its effects on students' English proficiency, and problems encountered through the program.

    Graduate students majoring in marketing have developed an "Internet Library" system in order to share information about their private books on a database and promote lending and borrowing of those books on the website. This report describes what an "Internet Library" is and shows that although this system does not necessarily have good functionality and portability, it has high usability and maintainability. Furthermore, through reviewing the process of building up this system from the point of graduate school education, we confirmed that there were many educational effects.
