Ubiquitous-learning system for the Japanese polite expressions

Abstract

In recent years, with the popular use of the cell phone and mobile terminals such as smart PDA (personal digital assistant) which can communicate in mobile terminal wirelessly, and also with the growing of home Internet appliances and the commodity of RFID tags, it will be possible to realize the intelligence exchange with surrounding matters. Under this situation, the information from Internet is being transported easily; moreover, the realization of cordless navigating GPS based on satellites may use RFID tags and GPS to locate. To support the foreigners to learn Japanese polite expressions, we had implemented a PDA-based language learning supporting system of Japanese polite expressions learning, named Japanese polite expressions learning assisting system (JAPELAS) ( Yin C et al., 2005). Base on the JAPELAS, we will develop a new system named ubiquitous-learning system for the Japanese polite expressions (ULSJPE), which study on solving the problem about how to use system effectively.
