碩士 === 淡江大學 === 日本研究所碩士班 === 96 === Along with the wide spread of personal computers and low price of the Internet, this information trend has made Japanese education has no choice but to integrate new technologies. In order to solve the problems such as the increasing amount of Japanese learners, the lack of teaching faculty, the deficiency of appropriate teaching materials and information, studying Japanese via multimedia CALL (CALL: Computer-Assisted Language Learning) has been considered as a top priority. It is requested to investigate what educational practices of electronic media exist, what problems are left and how to use computer or Internet to solve the problems. Especially for those who are not proficient in the field of “listening,” they do not actually get adequate opportunities through the practices of “composing and speaking.” They are confined to the relations of geography and time and meanwhile are eager to solve the problems. This thesis is mainly aiming at the utility of CALL which exists in the field of “listening,” “composing,” “pronouncing and speaking.” Meanwhile the thesis is trying to clarify the learning effects and problems in use of CALL through examples of practicing respectively. From such consequences also make us ponder a lot over the direction of Japanese education. This thesis is divided into six chapters. Chapter1 introduced research motivation, purposes, methods, and relative research. Chapter2 described teaching Japanese with information technology and the practicality and necessity of the CALL system. From chapter3 to 5 are arranged in the order of listening, composing, pronouncing and speaking. It shows some current problems of Japanese education, then through analyzing the implementation, CALL materials, and case studies to explore the considerable problems of using CALL. To sum this thesis up, take an overview on each case that are being discussed and also based on the results of development and the use of Japanese CALL teaching material.
