Kanji learning system based on the letter shape recognition method

This paper discusses a simulation CAI system based on the letter shape recognition method, one of the approaches to teach Kanji (Chinese character) in actual classrooms. The simulation CAI, which uses information technology to simulate a learning method employed in classrooms, can ease constraints in time and place and serve a useful function in repetition drills, an important practice in learning a language. The article discusses what is the significance of this system as a CAI to reproduce learning activities in actual lessons. It provides general notes on building a CAI for class preparation and review. It discusses implementation of the system and details of the system and provides the evaluation of the system.
