Details	This paper reports on the use of an English-language reading practice application for an android tablet computer operating system with non-native speakers of English who were studying international affairs at a university in Japan. The application materials for vocabulary learning and reading skill development in reading-passage contexts were created to support the in-context learning of words which had been selected from a database of low-frequency and technical noun-verb collocations.
