Abstract(in English) Most of the existing Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) systems for learning Japanese employ fixed teaching scenarios and the students have nothing to do but to select his answer from the given choices.As a result,the students are likely to be insufficiently motivated. In this paper,we propose a student-initiative system for learning Japanese.The system sets up a micro world and the student is allowed to compose sentences with freedom as far as they concern the set-up world,in order to ask questions to the system as well as to answer questions posed by the system.Thus constraining the context enables the system to analyze the student′ s phrases and also facilitate for the student to relate linguistic expressions with their meaning. As one of the core functions required for the system,we have implemented a mechanism for diagnosing usage of postpositions.The paper reports the user interface processing exploited in implementation.
