This paper presents an input/output function of Korean characters for Korean learners in Japanese mobile phone environments. A mobile phone is one of convenient personal devices to have the sources of information. People are able to access to the internet and communicate with their company via the mobile phone without limits such as time and space. These merits have been applied to educational materials, recently. For example, English educations using multimedia materials have been presented for business people who cannot make sufficientextra time. On the other hand, we proposed handwriting educational software worked in a desk-top PC before. We demonstrated that the learning efficiency of students studied by the software was high. Therefore, we tried to transplant this approach into a mobile phone such as English. However, this approach failed because Japanese mobile phone environments don’t support input and output Korean characters. Thus, we develop an input/output function of Korean Characters in Japanese mobile phones in order to apply the Koreaneducational materials. In additionto the function, we propose an e-mail system to exchange Korean messages between Korean learners. Experiments show the proposed input and output function and e-mail system among Korean learners in Japanese mobile phone environments. In our future work, we plan to construct Korean educational material based on the proposed method for Korean learners and estimate for the learning efficiency.
