Description

Communication problemshave a risen due to thelanguage barrier between foreign students parents and teachers in public schools in Japan. The iPad application "TALK" was developed to deal with this situation. The role of TALK will be to assist teachers in sending school schedule information to foreign students' parents via e-mail. The schedules will be automatically translated to the mother language of each student. In addition, TALK will provide teachers with a way to send emergency information, including evacuation maps and messages to parents. Through these means, the creators of TALK aim to provide a solution system for public schools to deal with the communication problem between foreign students' parents and teachers.Currently, it is possible to download the application from the "App Store" online. We are planning to refine the application by carrying out a trial at an actual school in the near future.
