Applying Technology-Mediation to Assist Junior College Students to Learn Japanese as 2nd Language and Improve the Efficiency

Abstract

This study is based on college students' as study objects and attempting to explore the application of technology-mediation method for students to learn a second foreign language, such as the effectiveness of the Japanese courses.The research includes two experiments. First experiment; the treated group students using the pre-test method divided into the Japanese language high score group and low score group, who undergo the learning effects test of Japanese language by using e-pen. Second experiment: based on the first experiment, uses e-pen plus internet learning to investigate the effect of second foreign language learning of junior college students by using technology-mediation. The first experiment indicates that the learning effects of Japanese conversation course is found with a determining impact on both high score group and low score group students. Moreover, in comparison with the capability of analysis, it shows that low score group students are more benefited by the help of e-pen. The second experiment indicates whether‬‬ it is "e-pen" treated group, or "e- pen combined with the internet on the performance of the Japanese vocabulary scores of the treated group were higher than the "without e-pen without internet" control group. These findings indicate that the incorporation of e- pen into the Japanese teaching course does enhance the student’s learning effects.
