Abstract

In this paper we describe a method for enhancing the process of studying Japanese by a user-centered approach. This approach includes three parts: an innovative way of acquiring learning material from topic seeds, multifaceted sentence analysis to present sentence annotations, and the browser-integrated augmentation of perusing Wikipedia pages of special interest for the learner. This may result in new topic seeds to yield additional learning content, thus repeating the cycle.
