Abstract

Due to the advent of the Internet and the global village era, the rapid advancement of information technology and networks in recent years, as well as the rapid development of the global Internet and the continuous improvement and development of artificial intelligence equipment, we continue to accept “Internet +” and “artificial intelligence” in our lives. + ” influence. Especially when we are learning foreign languages, we cannot do without the APP function of mobile phones and the APP of smart devices such as tablets for learning. This kind of learning method has become an unstoppable trend and trend. Especially since last year, because of the relationship between the new coronavirus, the entire learning environment and the teaching environment have had a great impact and changes. What has not happened so far has met us in this epidemic, which has changed the entire learning style and variations of teaching forms. Therefore, online learning and online teaching have become a very important learning and teaching method today.

The main purpose of this article is to explore the current development of Japanese APPs? And the motivation of college students choosing Japanese APPs? Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, The spssau questionnaire analysis is used. Seven scales are used to detect the correlation analysis between learners' perception of ease of use and perceived usefulness of system usage and content design before use.

In addition, it also analyzes the interactivity and willingness to continue using and uninstalling the Japanese APP system after use. The result is that the reliability between the seven variables is high and the system design and content design are perceptively easy to use and useful. It positively affects college students' willingness to continue using Japanese apps. On the contrary, the design and content of the system negatively affect the willingness to use uninstall.

This article analyzes the current research trends of the development of Japanese learning apps, and uses the current research literature to discuss its phenomenon and learners' experience. At the same time, through the results of collating relevant literature, we hope to provide suggestions for future Japanese APP designers, as well as provide learners' needs for Japanese APP applications, and provide suggestions and related issues for perfect improvement and development.
