Abstract

Until recently, most electronic materials for learning languages were developed standalone. Therefore, auxiliary materials were either developed only to play a subordinate role and insufficient in terms of quality and quantity, or required to be linked to available huge dictionaries on the market. When language learners could not solve given questions, they referred to these auxiliary materials which were considered thus rather unimportant. However, the authors feel that electronic materials need to have better auxiliary functions which provide learners with the exact information they look for, especially because they are often used as self-study guides without instructor's help. From this standpoint, the authors picked up electronic vocabulary and grammar materials that were used in an actual classroom, developed supporting e-materials that could work closely with them, and then measured the effects on learning.
