  The foreign student text storage means DS1 is further divided into an advanced text storage means 5, an intermediate text storage means 6 and an inferior text storage means 7. In this way, by preparing a text for each level of students outside the country, it is possible to provide support that matches the student's level in real time by the control described later, so that students outside the country can recognize their level. As well as being able to take domestic classes smoothly. Therefore, education and support that suits the level can be obtained, which can lead to motivation and continuity of learning for students abroad.

  The overseas student level storage means DS2 stores the levels of students outside the country, for example, in three stages. This foreign student level storage means DS2 can measure and memorize a level by a test of a Japanese language skill that is taken in advance, for example, the Japanese language ability. Moreover, the level can be measured and memorized for each subject and for each field in the subject. The method of dividing the level of students outside the country is not limited to the above, and is not limited to the above three levels, and may be five levels, and is not particularly limited.

  The data stored in the student level storage means DS2 can be updated at any time, and can be rewritten, for example, based on the results of a small test performed on the web.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the display of students outside the country in this system. The overseas student display D includes a teacher image display unit T on which images of teachers are displayed, and a student image display unit S on which images of other students are displayed regardless of whether they are domestic students or students from other countries. Is provided. In addition, a lesson content display unit 8 is provided for displaying a blackboard in the lesson, the main points for each theme, and the like. In FIG. 4, a foreign student text display unit 9 for displaying support text in the native language of the foreign student is provided for the foreign student. The foreign student text display unit 9 displays the contents corresponding to the class being taken in a language that can be understood by students outside the country, and the contents are stored in advance in the foreign student text storage means DS1 of the database server DS. ing.

  When displaying text for foreign students, for example, in advance which timing advance decide whether to display text in, it may be automatically displayed when becomes that time, the teacher operates the teacher terminal 12 By doing so, the text may be displayed to students outside the country at the timing of the teacher.

  For example, if Japanese students, teachers and foreign students are taking classes, Japanese students can understand what the teacher is saying, but foreign students are not fluent in Japanese Therefore, you may not understand what the teacher says. Especially when specialized terms such as mathematics and national language come out, it is difficult for foreign students to understand the words spoken by teachers. Therefore, when a unit called “differentiation / integration” appears, the unit corresponding to “differentiation / integration” is displayed in the native language on the foreign student text display section 9, so that the foreign student can It reminds me of what I learned at, and helps me understand what kind of lessons are currently being offered, so that I can learn more smoothly and study Japanese.

  In addition, when a foreign student becomes able to understand Japanese gradually, if the explanation of the unit is displayed on the text display section 9 for overseas students, it will hinder the study of Japanese. In addition, if you are a foreign student and can hardly understand Japanese, but the explanation in your native language is only at the word level, you will not be able to understand Japanese classes at all. In either case, you will be motivated to attend classes. End up. Therefore, by changing the displayed contents for each student level, the contents of the text displayed on the overseas student text display unit 9 are changed so that the students outside the country understand the Japanese language step by step. , Can keep students motivated. Specifically, in the case of foreigners who still cannot understand Japanese, the contents of the text in their native language, which is enriched with explanations of units / terms stored in the text storage means 7 for junior students, Is displayed in the text display unit 9. For foreigners who can understand Japanese considerably, the text stored in the advanced text storage means 5 and whose explanation in the native language is displayed only at the word level is displayed in the text display section 9 for overseas students. Is done.

  This display content is divided into details for each lesson content and for each unit, so that overseas students can be supported in detail.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the control of this system. An embodiment of the present system will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Assume that a foreign student X, a Japanese student, and a Japanese teacher take mathematics classes. When a foreign student accesses the web server WS of this system from a foreign student terminal and is ready to take classes, the application server AS accesses the database server DS in which the student information is stored. Then, refer to the foreign student level storage means DS2 of the database server DS. The foreign student level storage means DS2 stores the level for each subject such as mathematics, Japanese language, physics, etc., and the application server AS makes a judgment by referring to the class code corresponding to the class currently being conducted. Then, the mathematics level of the student X in the foreign student level storage means DS2 which is the class currently being conducted is referred to (step S1).

  Next, in the case where data indicating that the level of student X is advanced for the mathematics class currently received is stored in the overseas student level storage means DS2, the application server AS stores the advanced text of the database server DS1. The means 5 is read out, and the text for advanced students is displayed on the text display section 9 for overseas students (steps S2 and S3).

  If data indicating that the student X is not an advanced user is stored, the process proceeds to step S4, where it is determined whether or not the student X is intermediate, and if it is intermediate, the application server AS stores the intermediate text storage means of the database server DS1. 6 is read and the text for intermediate students is displayed on the text display section 9 for foreign students (step S5). If it is not intermediate, the process proceeds to step S6, and the text for the lower class is displayed.

  With such control, when a foreign student takes a class in real time, he can learn Japanese step by step and can take the class efficiently. In addition, the multi-national educational school system that includes foreigners in this way allows students to organize classes with students who have the same purpose, regardless of whether they are in Japan or overseas, and to set up homeroom classes and other places for information exchange. So, you can feel as if you are taking classes at school, and it will help to motivate students and continue learning. Foreign students can take courses and credits not only in their home country, but also in Japanese correspondence high schools. The multinational educational school system enables communication between teachers and students or students (homeroom, counseling, learning advice, etc.) or communication between students, enabling events and events to be held throughout the school. This system is also beneficial for Japanese students as well as foreign students. This system is not only for high school classes but also for courses for various qualifications such as working adults, assuming a group of classes (scholastic ability levels) and learning advice from higher-level students to lower-level students. It can be equipped with a function to receive and counseling, and can also be applied to systems such as multilateral conferences.

  Moreover, it is also possible to set it as the educational school city system provided with two or more said educational school systems.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated in detail, said embodiment and its modification are only examples of this invention, and this invention is not limited to this. Obviously, modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
