Abstract
Shinsho Library is a self-access reading support system developed for advanced Japanese reading. In this study 17 participants were required to read at their own pace eight kinds of authentic texts using this system during a period of three weeks in their real learning environments. From the results of the pre- and post tests, as well as the data of their learning process, questionaires, and an interview, the following results were observed. 1) There was no significant difference in their reading comprehension; however, vocabulary and reading speed showed a tendency to progress. 2) Self-learning does not always lead the learners to effective learning activities. Thus, it is necessary to prepare guidelines of effective learning for them. 3) It is strongly suggested that L1 vocabulary explanation and vocal presentation of the text be added to the system. The necessity for supplementary materials, and the proper role of teachers, and recommended improvements in the system are also discussed.
