Abstract
With the recent proliferation of the Internet, e-learning is now in increasing demand. Then we started a new study to introduce e-learning in practice teaching. Practice teaching in Japan is a program where students who want to be a teacher teach actual classes for a few weeks in order to acquire teaching experience. At present they do not have any other opportunities to teach classes. The system authors propose in this paper aims to assist practice teaching by providing other opportunities to teach aside from the few weeks of practice teaching. This system also tries to enable diverse communication between them by using electronic bulletin boards and other features. Further, the goal of this system is not only to provide assistance to practice teaching, but also to help efficient development of Japanese learner fs language skills. As described above, this system was developed with three aims, assistance to practice teaching, Japanese learning and interchange of different cultures.
