Development of a Japanese language learning support system for international students using video contents

In recent years, globalization has progressed, and Japan's international students have increased. However, many international students study while working part-time, and due to the impact of Covid-19, face-to-face conversation with people has become difficult. Therefore, regular study time alone has become insufficient for practicing the Japanese language. On the other hand, there are video distribution services that have become popular in recent years. Therefore, we thought we could create a language learning support system by using them. This research aims to develop a language learning support system that uses the subtitle function of a video distribution service to improve learning motivation and to solve the lack of time to learn a foreign language(the Japanese, in this case). This paper mainly reports on the development of the system by using those video content.
