The LMS Development for a Blended EFL e-Learning
Okada, Takeshi; Sakamoto, Yasunobu; Sugiura, Kensuke

This paper illustrates the general idea of an on-going project for the development of a new blended e-learning package for the English as a foreign language (EFL) reading instruction in Japanese universities. The authors want to draw the attention of the readers to the Learning Management System (LMS) of the package and focus on the role a new e-learning system plays in actual face-to-face classrooms. Through an e-learning system, an EFL teacher can browse particular words, phrases or sentences where his/her students have learning difficulty on a real-time basis on the tablet screen. Grasping graphically particular parts the students need to be instructed, the teacher can determine the level of teaching in response to the students' demands. The system is designed to generate word/phrase lists for individual learners' further self-learning. These word/phrase lists, accompanied by additional information about learning records such as date, passage ID, reading ease score, type/token ratio and lexical density, may function as eligible e-portfolios for both teachers and learners. Instead of getting involved in the discussion on the technical details of the e-learning system itself, the authors show how the actual EFL reading instruction and learning can dynamically be designed through a newly-proposed system that provides opportunities to share pedagogical issues with people working on similar project.
