This award to Dr. Anthony A. Maciejewski of Purdue University is                for the development of a computer tutor designed to assist the                  student of technical Japanese in acquiring proficiency in the                   language.  The essential component of the computer tutor is its                 ability to integrate feedback from the student in providing                     personalized instruction.  This includes the ability to select                  instructional materials relevant to the student's technical                     discipline as well as at the appropriate level of difficulty.                                                                                                   In recent years, the asymmetrical flow of technical information                 between the U.S. and Japan has become a subject of concern.  The                scarcity of American scientists and engineers proficient in the                 Japanese language is due to numerous factors including a lack of                technical Japanese curricula, course materials, and qualified                   instructors.  Use of a computer tutor in self study or as an                    integral part of traditionally structured Japanese language courses             will help alleviate some of these deficiencies.
