Abstract
In this paper, we describe the support system for job-hunting students to learn job-hunting related terms by using an eBook and a chat system. Job-hunting process is very unique and complicated in Japan. Job-hunting students face difficulties in many phases. Many job-hunting related terms are not used in daily conversation and very new to them. Therefore, it is necessary to support them to learn them. The objectives of this study are (1) to clarify whether there is a positive correlation between active involvement of eBook learning and test performance and (2) to clarify whether the use of our chat system was effective in learning job-hunting related terms. The result of the evaluation showed that as for (1), there was no statistically significant correlation between the two factors. However when focusing on the international students, the correlation coefficient increased. It was aligned with the fact that this system was originally designed to support international students. As for (2), when the comparison was made between with and without InCircle delivery, there was no statistically significant difference between them in terms of Pre- and Post-test improvement. However the students gave the high score when they were asked its helpfulness. The score implies that the students were satisfied with its helpfulness.
