JDSC develops a new solution that utilizes generative AI in its education business ~Starts offering “Nichibun”, a solution for creating Japanese learning materials~
JDSC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Satoshi Kato Ertes, hereinafter “JDSC”) has developed a new solution that utilizes generative AI in its education business, and as the first step, it is aiming to meet the needs of learners. From February 8, 2024, we will start providing “Nichibun”, which
automatically generates original Japanese learning materials according to your needs.
With the rapid increase in the number of foreign nationals working and studying in Japan, the need for Japanese language learning is rapidly increasing. In terms of foreign workers, in order to cope with the shrinking domestic market due to population decline and the decline in the productive working population, the acceptance of highly skilled foreign workers who have a high level of expertise and come to Japan as researchers and engineers is progressing. In terms of learners, the number of international students is expected to increase, as the government aims to accept 400,000 international students annually by 2033 (April 2023, Second Recommendation of the Council for Creating the Future of Education). Masu.
Highly-skilled foreign professionals and international students have different types of Japanese language and learning content depending on the type of industry or occupation they work in, as well as their own intentions, and Japanese language schools are required to respond to diversifying learning needs. On the other hand, the number of Japanese language teachers is decreasing due to the aging population and treatment issues, and there is a shortage of human resources to accurately respond to diversifying needs.
“Nichibun” provided by JDSC is a solution that solves these issues and automatically generates original Japanese teaching materials that meet the needs of learners. By selecting the desired field and level, sentence format, number of characters, grammar used, etc., Japanese sentences will be automatically generated according to the specified conditions. It is also characterized by its simple operability, which allows you to specify conditions on the screen, making it easy to use even for teachers who are not familiar with PC operations. JDSC offers “Nichibun” on a monthly fee model.

Katsunori Nagano, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tokyo Riverside Gakuen, said:
“With the activation of international exchange and the spread of Japanese culture, the number of Japanese language learners is showing a remarkable increase.With the introduction of “Nichibun”, which utilizes JDSC’s generative AI, the diversification of the Japanese language We are now able to create Japanese teaching materials that quickly respond to educational needs.We will continue to utilize Nichibun and keep up with new educational methods, so that we can be active on the international stage.
