ABSTRACT
Flashcards are one of the most popular tools for learning vocabulary for second-language learners. While flashcard mediated learning is efficient, it may not induce motivation for continued use. Some researchers have proposed augmented flashcards that provide multimedia contexts to motivate people to study. However, the augmented flashcards also have a problem that it takes time to learn each target word. Understanding this tradeoff, we introduce a system that users can learn vocabulary with both standard and augmented flashcards. In addition, our system recommends the best learning strategy to users adaptively, and realizes the long-term vocabulary learning. In this paper, we describe the system and present the results of the preliminary data analysis towards the long-term vocabulary learning.
