Details We developed a recommendation system of Japanese language learning materials for learners
with relatively light motivation. The main features of this system are providing “Upper-Lower
tasks”, and “adequate recommendation of language contact situations”. A formative evaluation
suggested that learners are probably able to learn Japanese with this system, but the validity of
recommendation and clearness of system structure must be further examined.
