Profile

In my role as the coordinator of the International Undergraduate Programs, I am responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of educational programs. My primary focus is on supporting international students in their living, studying, and job-hunting endeavors. My research interests are centered around the internationalization of higher education, intercultural communication, and foreign language learning, and I am committed to advancing these fields through my work.

PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF SELF-CONFIDENCE LABELS OF SECOND LANGUAGE UTTERANCES IN AN ONLINE ASSIGNMENT TO DEVELOP A LEARNING SYSTEM WITH FEEDBACK ADAPTATION

This study focuses on self-confidence of the second language (L2) learners’ speaking. The L2 selfconfidence is important because it affects L2 competence and the L2 willingness to communicate. The confidence has been measured by questionnaires or interviews, but they are not suitable to measure dynamic confidence frequently. Our approach is to develop a learning system that has a machine learning model to predict learners’ confidence. To our knowledge, there is no dataset of L2 utterance and self-confidence to achieve this. Therefore, we conducted an experiment to collect these data from 14 international students in an online Japanese course at Kyushu University. This paper reports some findings from a preliminary analysis of the collected data. Our developed prototype system for L2 speaking collected approximately 4,500 data which consist of utterance audio and 4-point confidence labels. Various labeling patterns suggest that a predicting model should be flexible for each learner’s confidence. These results provide us with a direction to create the model, such as an investigation of some variables that could affect the confidence labels.

In second/foreign language speaking practice, there is limited time for students to practice, getting feedback from an experienced teacher in class. In order to remove the time constraint, computer assisted language learning systems are the first candidate, but few systems estimate learner's state, which includes their mental states and learning environments. For estimating it, it is natural to use specific peripherals or applications, but this leads to another constraint in learning environment. In addition, it is challenging to develop such a system because speaking practice, other than practice for other skills, essentially requires non-textual data. The distant goal of this study is to propose a system that generates feedback based on learners’ states, without any constraints on time and place. With this goal, the purpose of this paper is to identify the basic requirements of a system for speaking under uncontrolled learning environment by a long-term field test. In this field test, a prototype system we developed was used for 15 weeks (or 1 semester) as online assignments by 28 international students taking a Japanese language course at a university. Our prototype was a browser-based web application, and learners practiced speaking using their own devices, e.g., PCs and smartphones. This field test was conducted under uncontrolled learning environment of each learner participating in the long-term online course, without ever meeting face-to-face. These settings significantly differ from those of previous studies, which are well controlled under some specific environment. Our prototype has worked with many devices, and enabled students, including those who was not able to enter our country due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, to practice speaking. Through the field test, we identified some problems, which can be happened for similar systems of speaking, and summarized into three categories: operation devices, voice recording, and data transmission. We propose a set of methods to solve these problems, which are useful for developing similar systems in actual learning environments.
