Writing Support for Non-Native Learners of Japanese Using Web Search APIs
We are developing a multilingual writing support tool using Web search APIs for second language learners who learned basic vocabulary and elements of grammar, in order to provide useful information about writing and learning second languages. This paper describes a writing support tool for non-native learners of Japanese based on the Yahoo! Search Web Services. The proposed tool consists of a composition and a learning support module. The composition support module searches for example sentences and word usage on the Web, and verifies given sentences and expressions by the hit count and the statistical analysis on snippets provided by the search engine. It produces a table and a graph based on the hit count of those queries, and can provide query suggestions and example sentences based on learner’s vocabulary level. Currently, learning support function is being designed.
