BiTak: A Half-duplex Dual-lingual Video Chat to Improve Languages Proficiency both of Japanese and International Students

説明

In this paper, we propose a video chat system named BiTak which employs strict turn-taking dual-lingual communication using recording function. BiTak aims to motivate the dual-lingual conversation between Japanese and International students as well as to identify the mutual benefits through this kind of conversation for the need of improving simultaneous bilingual acquisition. The two most outstanding features of BiTak is following two functions: 1) a strict turn-taking function by discretely recording each utterance and 2) a text chat function related to each recorded utterance. We conducted a preliminary experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of BiTak and found that strict turn-taking function favorably boost students’ speaking skills while recording function failed to meet the expectation.
