New study systems planned
- Video comprehension - a Quicktime movie is played by JWM, and the student chooses one or more correct answers from a multiple choice list. This powerful function allows you to create a sequence of video clips, and test student comprehension at each step. For example, a video may show a number of clips of a person going into a supermarket, looking at a range of products and then interacting with a store clerk to ask about various goods and make a purchase. A video clip would show each segment of the process, and get the student to select alternatives during the process. Other potential video clip sequences could include a restaurant situation, a visit to the park, going to the beach, asking directions on the street, trying to catch a train, etc, etc. The potential for effective, fully immersive Japanese language learning using everyday situations is enormous.
- Word matching - a set of words is matched with their English meanings.
- Fill in the blanks - a sentence/paragraph has a number of parts left blank and the right words and Kanji need to be selected by the student to fill each blank.
