日語口語訓練系統的建構──電腦輔助日語有聲及無聲破裂音教學

An Oral Skills Training System for Japanese Language Teaching: A CALL Solution for the Instruction of Voiced and Voiceless Plosives

許多學者指出由於母語干擾的影響，台灣的日語學習者對於學習日語的有聲及無聲破裂音時常感到困擾。對此一問題，卻很少有研究提出具體可行的解決方案。為此本文提出一套以網路為主的多媒體日語發音教學系統，作為台灣日語學習者學習日語破裂音的解決對策。本系統包含了三套模組：學習者、管理以及測驗。學習者模組內建兩組和學習策略與解釋相關的學習單元。測驗與管理模組主要用來了解學習者的學習程度和測驗資料的收集。由於本系統建構於網路上，教師可以透過網路和學習者進行互動。此外本系統提供更多教室教學所無法提供的聽解和口語練習的機會。本系統的建構可望對解決台灣人日語學習者在學習有聲及無聲破裂音時帶來正面的影響。

Many studies have often suggested that a great number of Taiwanese learners of Japanese encountered problems in learning Japanese voiced and voiceless plosives due to the interference from their native language. However, solutions which have empirically proposed for the problem Japanese voiced and voiceless plosives learning are scant. Therefore, the aim of this article attempts to develop a multimedia-oriented web-based Japanese pronunciation instructional system as a solution for teaching Taiwanese learners Japanese voiced and voiceless plosives. The system involved three modules: learner, management and testing. The learner module comprises of two sets of learning units concerning learning strategies and explanations, while the test and management module are employed to evaluate learners’ performance and collect the testing data. Since this system is web-based, learners and teachers can interact with each other via the internet. Moreover, it provides a lot of opportunities for oral and listening training beyond regular classroom instruction. This study may be of importance in solving the long-lasting problem of Japanese voiced and voiceless plosives for Taiwanese learners.
