Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a SNS (Social Networking Service) based ubiquitous environment for learning foreign languages called SONLUE. Learners use the SONLUE service to find a partner who can solve the language learning problems at the online community and an appropriate request chain of friends will be recommended upon their request. The learner can practice his second language with a native speaker who is learning his language. It allows members to interact and expand the network of friendship. This paper describes the design and the implementation of the system.
