I thought, how about a system where TJP.com members could practise their writing - from a paragraph, to a small article, in Japanese, at their selected level. In doing this members would be encouraged to write a at level challenging to them, but not so they are totally out of their depth, and need correcting every second word.
They could then post their article, and TJP.com members could discuss and improve the article. When it is pretty much right, it could be added to a data-base of articles in Japanese for members to practise their reading on. Maybe the forum discussion could also be included.
The finished product I am talking about is a database of graded paragraphs/short articles that members could use for reading practice, and an ongoing process that would allow for writing practice and discussion. Ideas for topics could be: cultural topics (Japanese and from around the world), current affairs, introduction of oneself (this would have to be limited as we dont want 10 000 different introductions, all at begginner level), conversation dialouge etc.
Well, this is just an idea. It would take time and work, but i think it would be worth it. maybe some existing forum posts could be added to this data-base to kick-start it........
i'd like to hear your thoughts....
