Abstract

We have designed a multimedia based system to teach basic Japanese Sign Language (JSL) to non-Japanese people under the concept of self-learning, through the functions of two modules (a Lesson and a Search module) and extensive use of multimedia. We report the prototype of our system, with which the user can work through a progressive series of lessons, or look up JSL equivalents of English words, and refer to sentence examples and grammar explanations.
