The Lecture Contents with the Captions by Using Meaningful Reception Learning

There are some programs which give the Malaysian students the pre-education for studying in Japan such as JAD program (Japan Associate Degree Program) in Malaysia. In these programs, it is impossible for the lecturers who are dispatched from Japan to cover all the majors. Therefore, they often give some lessons by the distance learning from Japan, but they have not got the sufficient educational effect yet. Distance learning are the real-time lecture which Japanese lectures give to Japanese students, or the lecture contents which just record these lectures. It is very difficult for the students at JAD programs who are not Japanese natives to understand all the contents of these distance learning. From these background, JAD Program makes the lecture contents with the captions for all the sentences, and conducts the distance learning.

This paper discusses the method to relate with the background information by using the Advanced organizer which D.P.Ausubel proposed. Also, this paper describes the interface technology which uses the visual effect of the captions to express the relationship of Advanced organizer. The authors are conducting the distance learning, using these lecture contents which are based on these methods. The authors aim to inspect the effect of these lecture contents.
