We will describe our philosophy and practice to improve the learning environment which supports the autonomous learning of the Japanese language. The rich learning environment is indispensable for learners to fulfill their learning for self-actualization. By choosing people, things, and events as resources to contribute to their learning, learners can construct and update their own personalized learning environments, realize adaptive learning for themselves, and grow into autonomous learners. In this paper, we will discuss the development of the learning environment of the International Students Support System at Waseda University, and argue the necessity of knotworking to expand their learning environment. 自律的日本語学習の実現を支える学習環境の整備にあたり必要となる理念と実践に関し、記述する。日本語を学ぶ人たちが、自己実現に向けた学びを成就するには、豊かな学習環境が欠かせない。学習に資するリソースとなるヒト・モノ・コトを選び、個別的学習環境を構築・更新することで、学習者は適応学習を実現し、自律的学習者へと成長する。本稿では、早稲田大学における留学生支援システムを事例に、学習環境の整備に関し議論したうえで、学習環境整備の一環として、ノットワーキングが必要であることを指摘する。

The potential drawbacks that globalization might have on education are increasing and becoming a main worry. The number of international students is increasing and students’ mobility is becoming a crucial phenomenon to obtain a good degree and secure a decent job. Universities have tripled their efforts to recruit and attract international students but their educational ecosystem is still missing some fundamentals. Ensuring that all international students are admitted using an adapted automated admission system, receiving assistance and decent welcome from international faculty and staff, and building their career after are factors that reduce the negative impacts of globalization in education. This paper presents our Decision Support System using knowledge management (KM) approach and AI techniques contributing to achieve those fundamentals and reduce its impacts.
