| Abstract(in English) | To acquire the vocabulary of a foreign language, the time spent on learning and the frequency of employing the words are said to be crucial. Hence, in this study, we developed a foreign word learning system based on the popular mobile device, iPod. The merit of using such portable devices is that the users can make use of their free time for learning, that is, the users can study whenever they like, thus increasing the time spent on learning. In our system, the users select the foreign words that they want to learn by using their personal computers, and they download the corresponding contents into their iPods. The contents that are downloaded into the iPod consist of a set of still or video images. We also conducted an evaluation experiment by comparing our system against the convcntial paper-and-pencil method. Our test result indicated that after two weeks, the ratio of memorization using our system is almost 1,5 times better than the conventional method. Thus, the effectiveness of our system was verified. |
