JP6389289B2 - Language teaching material creation system - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a language learning / education technology, and more particularly to a technology effective when applied to a language teaching material creation system for creating learning materials by listening.

  In language learning and training, rather than reading text or learning words or grammar, you listen to it repeatedly and listen to it yourself, as known as the Pinzler method. It is said that it is important to take a look. The importance of learning by listening from the ear is often pointed out in cognitive science.

  A variety of educational materials are available for listening learning using the Pinzler method. Many of these are basically provided by recording or streaming audio files and moving image files recorded on a medium such as a CD (Compact Disc).

  Further, as a technique related to these, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-184360 (Patent Document 1) discloses personal information registered by a user in a mail distribution server, a learning course, a learning pace, and a plurality of levels. A plurality of reading sentences classified into the above are stored in advance, and the reading sentences extracted based on the user's personal information, learning course, and learning pace are transmitted as learning mails to the mobile terminal. It describes that speech is synthesized and read out. Thereby, it is supposed that the language learning of hearing can be performed at low cost according to the learning level and learning pace of the user.

  Further, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-107926 (Patent Document 2), audio data and audio teaching materials are appropriately used for audio portions divided into appropriate lengths that are easy to dictate or shadow, such as for each single sentence or each compound sentence. It is described that a speech data set obtained by repeating a specific number of times with a blank speech of a long length is used as a language learning material. While listening to this material, you can improve your listening and speaking skills by listening to the full text without dictating words or idioms, or by dictating and shadowing while looking at the hints and answers. It can be done.

  Some of the language learning materials for listening learning, such as those recorded on CDs, audio files, and moving image files, can be partly shuffled. However, basically only predetermined sounds are played in order, so the content tends to be monotonous with little change in content. In many cases, the learning effect is not improved. Further, when a user repeatedly listens to a specific word or sentence, it often becomes complicated and difficult because a predetermined operation is required.

  In this regard, with the technique described in Patent Document 2, it is possible to create a teaching material that can repeatedly reproduce an audio portion divided into appropriate lengths. However, the repetitive pattern in the teaching material once created is fixed and poorly changed. In addition, it is not easy to change the contents according to the learner's preference, level, etc., and the teaching material is poor in flexibility and expandability.

  On the other hand, with the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to set the learning content according to the level of the learner. However, it is necessary to create and register a reading sentence pattern for each level in advance, and there is not much room for dynamic customization by learners and material creators. turn into.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to allow language learning that can flexibly change and customize the content of learning according to preference, learner level, etc., and can repeatedly listen and learn in units of conversation, phrases, words, etc. It is to provide a language teaching material creation system that makes it possible to easily create teaching materials for use.

  The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will be apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

  Of the inventions disclosed in this application, the outline of typical ones will be briefly described as follows.

  A language teaching material creation system according to a typical embodiment of the present invention is a language teaching material creation system that creates a learning material for language learning by listening, and is input by a creator of the teaching material via a creator terminal. Based on two or more English short sentences and a material database including dictionary data, a teaching material creation unit that creates the teaching materials for listening learning about long sentences composed of a combination of the short sentences, and a specified sentence or word On the other hand, a speech processing unit that generates speech data to be read out by speech synthesis is provided.

  The teaching material creation unit configures the teaching material corresponding to the first region including one or more rows in which one or more columns are set with special tags and the column in which the special tags are set.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that components having the same function are denoted by the same reference symbols throughout the drawings for describing the embodiment, and the repetitive description thereof will be omitted. On the other hand, parts described with reference numerals in some drawings may be referred to with the same reference numerals although not illustrated again in the description of other drawings.

  The language teaching material creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is adapted to use a special sentence or word in a language that a learner wants to learn or a learning material creator (for example, a teacher or a cram school teacher) wants to learn. By inputting in a registration table in which tags and the like are embedded, relevant information is extracted from a database such as a dictionary and complemented, and a language teaching material for listening learning is automatically created. The content of the sentence to be heard is not particularly limited, and for example, long sentences, words, news, conversations, phrases, words, and the like can be appropriately input to the table as desired. In addition, although it does not specifically limit about the language of learning object, In this Embodiment, it shall explain using English as an example.

  When creating teaching materials, for example, for each learner level, how many times the same sentence or word is played, whether the meaning (or Japanese translation) is played in Japanese, or the sentence is played back divided into words. It is possible to freely specify the contents and conditions during listening learning. Thereby, for example, it is possible to realize efficient language learning by setting it flexibly so that listening learning is performed more compactly as it gets used to, at the beginning.

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a configuration example of a language teaching material creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The language teaching material creation system 1 provides a service for creating language teaching materials by inputting English text into a table to creators who create language teaching materials for listening learning via the network 2 such as the Internet. Server system. In addition, it is possible to provide a service for listening learning using the language teaching material to the user of the language teaching material.

  For users, learners who use language learning materials are applicable, but for creators, in addition to teachers and cram school teachers who create and teach language teaching materials, learners themselves You may be a creator who creates your own language teaching materials. In this case, creator = user, but in this embodiment, the user and the creator are described as different persons in a logical and functional sense.

  A user terminal 3 used by the user and a creator terminal 4 used by the creator can be connected to the language teaching material creation system 1 via the network 2. These terminals are constituted by information processing terminals such as a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet terminal, and a smartphone, for example, and can access the language teaching material creation system 1 by a web browser or a dedicated application (not shown). . In particular, the user terminal 3 is not limited to a general-purpose information processing terminal having a display as described above as long as it is a device capable of listening to learning. For example, a display such as a speaker with a microphone having a voice recognition function may be used. Various devices that are not included, dedicated devices, and the like can be used as appropriate.

  The language teaching material creation system 1 includes, for example, a server device, a virtual server constructed on a cloud computing service, and the like. Then, a middle processing such as an OS (Operating System), a DBMS (DataBase Management System), and a Web server program developed on a memory from a recording device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown) By executing the software that operates above, various functions described later relating to the creation of language teaching materials and the provision of learning services are realized.

  The language teaching material creation system 1 includes, for example, a material management unit 11, a sentence processing unit 12, a translation processing unit 13, an English speech processing unit 14a, a Japanese speech processing unit 14b, a teaching material creation unit 15, and a learning management unit implemented as software. 16 and an authentication processing unit 17 and the like. In addition, each data store includes a user material database (DB) 101, a system material DB 102, a synthesized speech DB 110, a learning material DB 120, a learning history DB 130, and a user DB 140 implemented as a database or file table.

  The material management unit 11 has a function of managing various types of information (materials) that are elements used when creating language teaching materials, and performing processing such as registration and extraction. The material here is information that complements information obtained from English text or the like input / designated by the creator via the creator terminal 4 in order to create a language teaching material.

  For example, a large amount of data such as English and English dictionaries, English-Japanese dictionaries, idiom dictionaries, idiomatic dictionaries, synonym dictionaries, utterances of famous celebrities, etc. , Various data such as translations and pronunciations) and related data such as voice data and images. These are recorded in advance in the system material DB 102. Unique data that is not recorded in the system material DB 102 may be recorded in the user material DB 101 as data that complements the system material DB 102. Such data may include, for example, English or Japanese voice data uttered by the creator himself.

  The sentence processing unit 12 has a predetermined number of words, grammatical breaks, and the like for a sentence input by the creator or a sentence recorded in the system material DB 102 or the like, for example, when the sentence is longer than a predetermined length. It has a function of performing natural language processing such as division based on conditions. For this implementation, a known natural language processing engine may be used as appropriate. Further, the translation processing unit 13 has a function of creating a Japanese translation by automatic translation for an English sentence input by the creator or an English sentence recorded in the system material DB 102 or the like that has no Japanese translation. For this implementation, a known machine translation engine or an external service may be used as appropriate.

  The English speech processing unit 14a and the Japanese speech processing unit 14b (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as “speech processing unit 14”) are sentences or the like (English / Japanese) input by the creator, and the system material DB 102. Etc. (English / Japanese) are automatically synthesized, and the generated speech data is recorded in the synthesized speech DB 110. For this implementation, a known speech synthesis engine or the like may be used as appropriate. It should be noted that special automatic names such as personal names that are difficult to synthesize may be supplemented by voice data recorded in the user material DB 101.

  The English speech processing unit 14a automatically inserts a silence portion of a predetermined length between each word divided by the sentence processing unit 12 with respect to a sentence composed of a plurality of words, and then for each word. Automatic speech synthesis is performed or speech data (word separated speech) segmented for each word is generated using registered speech data. Moreover, after automatically inserting a silent portion of a predetermined length between each character of the spelling of the word, and automatically synthesizing the speech for each character, the speech data separated for each character ( Character delimited speech).

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of examples of word-delimited speech and character-delimited speech in the present embodiment. FIG. 2A shows an example of word break speech. For example, as shown in the upper part, when there is an English sentence “I am eating an apple.”, The pronunciation in the conversation is “Iam Eating Unapple”. However, it may be difficult for a user who conducts listening learning to understand what words the English sentence is composed of. For this reason, in this embodiment, as shown in the lower part, a space (silent part) having a predetermined length is inserted between words, and speech synthesis is performed thereon. As a result, a voice such as “I am eating an apple” is created, and it becomes easy to understand what words constitute the English sentence.

  Similarly, in word learning, it is also possible to learn to read the spelling separated into characters. FIG. 2B shows an example of character-delimited speech. For example, as shown in the upper part, the English word “apple” is pronounced “apple”, but it may be difficult for the user to understand the alphabet (spell) that constitutes the English word only by pronunciation. For this reason, in this embodiment, as shown in the lower part, words are divided into characters and a space (silent part) of a predetermined length is inserted between them, and speech synthesis is performed thereon. As a result, a voice such as “APL” is obtained, and it is easy to understand what letters (spells) make up the English word.

  The teaching material creation unit 15 extracts and supplements related information from the system material DB 102, the synthesized speech DB 110, etc., based on English text input by the creator via a registration table in which special tags are embedded. In addition, a language teaching material for listening is generated and recorded in the teaching material DB 120.

  The registration table will be described in detail later, but it can be implemented as a tabular file using, for example, generally used spreadsheet software or CSV (Comma-Separated Values). You may make it input via the substitute form used as the input interface to such a file, and the input screen displayed on the creator terminal 4. FIG. Tags embedded in the table are associated with, for example, spreadsheet software commands and macros, and processing or complementation of language teaching material data is performed by executing processing corresponding to the specified tag. It can be performed.

  The learning management unit 16 has a function of managing the implementation of learning using the language learning material recorded in the learning material DB 120 by the user. The language teaching material recorded in the teaching material DB 120 may be reproduced by streaming on the language teaching material creating system 1 in response to a request for performing learning from the user terminal 3, or in response to a request from the user. It may be downloaded to the user terminal 3 and played back locally on the user terminal 3. The learning results are recorded in the learning history DB 130. The learning history DB 130 may be referred to so as to grasp the progress of learning, the level of achievement, etc., and the learning content may be automatically changed.

  The authentication processing unit 17 has a function of managing and authenticating accounts of users (users and creators) who use the language teaching material creation system 1. It also has a function of controlling access to data for each user such as the learning material DB 120. User account information is recorded in the user DB 140.

<Flow of processing (creating language teaching materials)>
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of a flow of processing for creating a language teaching material in the present embodiment. First, the creator accesses the language teaching material creation system 1 using the creator terminal 4 and creates his / her account (S01). The account created by the authentication processing unit 17 is registered in the user DB 140 (S02). If an account has already been created, user authentication is performed by login. After that, the creator designates items to be used in the special tags in the registration table such as English as necessary (S03), and the teaching material creation unit 15 selects the special tags and the table based on the designated contents. A reserved word or the like is set (S04). If there is a table in which the use items are already set, this is used as it is.

  Thereafter, the creator inputs an English sentence or the like that he / she wants to learn according to the setting of the special tag or the like on the creator terminal 4 and edits the table (S05). Details of the table will be described later. When the editing of the table is completed, the creator registers the file in which the table is recorded, for example, by uploading it to the language teaching material creation system 1 (S06). The teaching material creation unit 15 refers to the contents of the uploaded table, and if the sentence is long for the input English sentence or the like, the sentence processing unit 12 divides the sentence (S07), and the translation processing unit 13 automatically translates the sentence. Thus, a Japanese translation is created (S08). Further, the English speech processing unit 14a performs speech synthesis on English sentences to create speech data (S09), and the Japanese speech processing unit 14b performs speech synthesis on Japanese translations to create speech data ( S10).

  Further, the system material DB 102 extracts data relating to the meaning of the Japanese language, the contents of the English-English dictionary, example sentences, etc., and data related to the English text input to the table, complements the table, and creates a teaching material (S11). . If there is no data (material) to be extracted in the system material DB 102, it may be supplemented from the contents of the user material DB 101. The creator uses the creator terminal 4 to confirm the contents that have been made into teaching materials, and downloads and modifies the table as necessary (S12). If there is no material to be extracted in the user material DB 101, the creator uploads and registers materials such as audio data and image data held by the creator as necessary (S13). The registered material is registered in the user material DB 101 by the material management unit 11 (S14).

  When the table is modified, the creator registers again by uploading the file in which the table is recorded to the language teaching material creation system 1 (S15). The teaching material creation unit 15 refers to the contents of the uploaded table, extracts data related to English text input into the table from the material database, complements the table again, and creates a teaching material (S16).

  When the correction of the table and the confirmation of the contents of the teaching material are completed, the creator specifies the learning conditions for the language teaching material on the creator terminal 4 (S17), and the learning management unit 16 specifies the specified learning. The conditions are registered, for example, in the teaching material DB 120 or the user DB 140 (S18). As described above, the learning conditions include, for example, how many times the same sentence or word is reproduced for each user level, how many times the meaning (or Japanese translation) of Japanese is reproduced, or the sentence is a word. The contents of listening learning and setting information of conditions such as whether to reproduce by dividing each word or to reproduce the spelling of a word are included.

  Thereafter, the learning material creating unit 15 generates a learning material module based on the contents of the table input by the creator and the contents of the designated learning conditions (S19). The format and format of the teaching material module are not particularly limited, and may be an executable file, or a data file format used in a dedicated application or Web application that runs on the user terminal 3. Also good. The generated teaching material module is opened so as to be accessible from the user (user terminal 3) via the network 2 by placing it at a predetermined location on the server of the language teaching material creation system 1, for example. .

<Processing flow (learning)>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of a flow of learning processing using the language teaching material in the present embodiment. The user first accesses the language teaching material creation system 1 using the user terminal 3 and creates his / her account (S21). The account created by the authentication processing unit 17 is registered in the user DB 140 (S22). If an account has already been created, user authentication is performed by login.

  Thereafter, the user requests the language teaching material creation system 1 to acquire a desired language teaching material via a dedicated application on the user terminal 3, a Web browser, or the like (S23). In the language teaching material creation system 1, the target language teaching material is extracted from the teaching material DB 120 by the learning management unit 16 or the like and transmitted (S24), and the user terminal 3 acquires it (S23). As described above, the transmission / reception of the language teaching material may be performed by streaming or downloaded to the user terminal 3.

  Thereafter, the user sets or changes the learning conditions for the target language teaching material on the user terminal 3 as necessary (S25). If the preset learning conditions are used as they are, setting or changing here is unnecessary. The learning management unit 16 registers the set learning conditions in, for example, the teaching material DB 120 or the user DB 140 (S26). Thereafter, the user learns by listening to the target language teaching material on the user terminal 3 according to the learning conditions (S27).

  Completion confirmation of the learning unit (step) is performed at the timing when learning of a predetermined unit is completed (S28), and it is determined whether learning of the step is completed (S29). Completion confirmation and judgment may be made by the user himself / herself entering the level achievement status at the relevant step, or when a score above the passing reference score is obtained through a confirmation test, etc. It may be determined that the process has been completed.

  When it is determined that the learning of the step has not been completed (S29: No), the process returns to S27, and the listening learning of the step is continued or repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the learning of the step has been completed (S29: Yes), the user terminal 3 automatically registers a learning history to that effect (S30). The learning management unit 16 records the learning history in the learning history DB 130 (S31).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not listening learning of all steps is completed (S32). If not completed (S32: No), that is, if there is a higher level subsequent step, return to S25 to change the learning condition, that is, set the target learning unit to the next step. Continue learning the next step. On the other hand, when learning of all steps is completed (S32: Yes), the user terminal 3 automatically registers a learning history to that effect (S33). The learning management unit 16 records the learning history in the learning history DB 130 (S34).

  Note that the number of steps (levels) to be repeatedly learned until completion of learning is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, learning is performed in, for example, three steps as described later. Therefore, when the user completes the learning up to the third step, the whole listening learning about the language teaching material is completed.

<English registration table>
5 and 6 are diagrams showing an outline of an example of a table for registering English sentences used for the language teaching material in the present embodiment. For convenience of illustration, the table is divided into two diagrams of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, but these may be configured by one table. As described above, this table is a data table that is implemented as, for example, a spreadsheet software file or a CSV file and serves as a template for creating language teaching materials. In this table, special tags that can be interpreted by the teaching material creation unit 15 of the language teaching material creation system 1 are inserted in advance, and the creator can specify a special tag and edit the table to create a language teaching material. Possible data tables can be created easily.

  As shown in the figure, the tag line 21 (first region) in which the special tag is inserted, the mark line 22 that allows the creator to specify information to be a mark, and English text used for the language teaching material are input. Content line 23 (second region).

  The tag line 21 consists of two lines. A special tag with a basic element name is inserted in the first line, and a special tag with a sub-element name is inserted in the second line. In the basic element name, a special tag for specifying a basic element constituting the language teaching material is inserted. In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, special tags “▼ system”, “▼ control”, “▼ sentence”, “▼ image”, and “▼ sound” are inserted. In addition, a special tag for designating a sub-element included in or related to each basic element is inserted into the sub-element name. In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, “▽ Scene ID”, “▽ Update”, “▽ Group”, “▽ Type”, “▽ Tag”, “▽ Component”, “▽ English”, “▽” Special tags such as “pronunciation”, “▽ meaning”, “▽ commentary”, “▽ image”, “▽ video”, “▽ English”, “▽ divided”, and “▽ Japanese” are inserted.

  The symbols “▼” and “▽” attached to the head of the special tag are examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the symbol can be identified as a special tag, other symbols such as ◯, ●, □, and ■ can be used as appropriate. The special tag is composed of a combination of these symbols and characters and may be any tag that can be uniquely identified as a command.

  In the mark line 22, a character string or the like as a mark can be freely input by the creator. For example, information that is used as a mark when inputting English text or the like to the content line 23 or a keyword when searching can be input. In the present embodiment, a character string that identifies four scenes of <long sentence>, <conversation>, <phrase>, and <word> that can be set as scenes to be used for listening learning is specified over FIGS. doing.

  In the <long sentence> scene, a long sentence, that is, a relatively long English sentence consisting of about 200 to several hundred words, is reproduced and learned. For example, a recent current news manuscript, a celebrity speech manuscript, a movie / drama dialogue, and the like may be applicable. As will be described later, it is also possible to compose a long sentence by collecting a plurality of relatively short English sentences (sentences) consisting of several tens of words. In the <conversation> scene, students learn to listen and listen to English conversations exchanged between two or more parties. For example, it may be a conversation for asking directions and responding to it, a conversation about a question and an explanation for a product, etc. performed with a store clerk when purchasing a product at a store.

  In the <Phrase> scene, students learn by listening to short sentences useful for English conversation. For example, idioms consisting of several words to several tens of words, idiomatic phrases, quotes, catch phrases, and the like may be applicable. In the <word> scene, students learn to repeatedly listen to words that are needed in English conversation. For example, words related to the latest IT terms, medical terms, current affairs terms and the like can be applicable.

  The creator inputs or sets the contents (English text, etc.) of each special tag inserted in the tag line 21 in the corresponding column of each row of the content line 23. As will be described later, one unit element which is a target in listening learning is constituted by one line of data. Then, by grouping these unit elements in a predetermined unit, a series of listening learning materials in which a plurality of unit elements included in the group are organically linked is configured.

  In this way, the creator can recognize the basic elements constituting the learning material for listening learning by inserting special tags that function as commands in the first and second tag lines 21 of the table. . Therefore, the creator can easily create language teaching materials without requiring skills such as a dedicated language and programming. In addition, when correcting the content of language teaching materials, the content is corrected on the table and uploaded to the server, or the table is corrected online via the input screen displayed on the creator terminal 4, You can easily modify language teaching materials.

  Hereinafter, the contents of reserved words (commands) and data (contents) such as English sentences input to the corresponding columns of the content line 23 corresponding to the special tags inserted in the tag line 21 will be described.

  In the example of the table shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the special tag “▼ system”, special tags “の scene ID” and “▽ update” are inserted as sub-elements. In the column of “▽ scene ID”, an ID for identifying on the system is set as necessary for each type (scene) of English sentences constituting a series of learning materials for listening learning. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example, there are four types of scenes of <long sentence>, <conversation>, <phrase>, and <word> described in the mark line 22. In addition, in the “▽ Update” column, information on the update date and time of the target line is input. This information may be set automatically.

  In the special tag “▼ control”, special tags “▽ group”, “▽ type”, “▽ tag”, and “▽ component” are inserted as sub-elements. In the “▽ group” column, a name (a “news” in the examples of FIGS. 5 and 6) that identifies a unit element (a group of one or more English sentences) included in each scene constituting the learning material for listening learning is used. , “Direction”, “Sale”, “Fruit”) can be freely input as necessary. The name of the group only needs to be input in the first line of the content line 23 included in the group.

  In the column of “▽ type”, a type of subsystem for creating a learning material for listening learning, that is, a type of listening learning that can be created is set. In this embodiment, there are four subsystems: a long sentence subsystem, a conversation subsystem, a phrase subsystem, and a word subsystem. Therefore, four types of reserved words “long sentence”, “conversation”, “phrase”, and “word” corresponding to each subsystem can be set.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, in the <long sentence> scene, reserved words of “long sentence” and “word” can be set. In the <conversation> scene, a reserved word of “conversation” can be set. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, in the <phrase> scene, a reserved word of “phrase” can be set. In the <word> scene, a reserved word "word" can be set. Each reserved word may be set only in the first line of the content line 23 processed by the target type subsystem.

  In the “▽ tag” column, a search tag used when searching the content line 23 can be freely input as necessary. For example, it is possible to input a tag (for example, “# level 1” or the like) that specifies the level, genre name, importance, etc., of the English text input in the target content line 23.

  In the column of “▽ Component”, the contents such as English text input or set in the content line 23 in the special tag column of “▼ sentence”, “▼ image”, and “▼ voice”, which will be described later, are used for listening learning. Set which component of the teaching material.

[Contents entered in the <Long Text> scene]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “long sentence” is set in the column “▽ type” in the <long sentence> scene, A reserved word “sentence” can be set in the column. In this case, the creator inputs a sentence that constitutes a long sentence as a learning material for listening learning in the column of “▽ English sentence”, which is a sub-element of the special tag “▼ sentence”. That is, a relatively short English sentence (sentence) consisting of about several tens of words is input.

  The content line 23 in which the reserved word “sentence” is set may be one line, or different sentences may be input to a plurality of lines (three lines in the example of FIG. 5) as illustrated. Each sentence entered here is an original long sentence used as a learning material for listening learning, that is, a single sentence consisting of about 200 to several hundred words, an English sentence such as speech, dialogue, etc. In the example of FIG. 5, it is divided into three sentences). In this case, in the teaching material, learning of a long sentence of about 200 to several hundred words generated by combining the sentences in time series from the upper line to the lower line proceeds.

  On the other hand, in the content line 23 in which “word” is set in the “▽ type” column, reserved words of “English words” and “English and English” can be set in the “▽ component” column. Then, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “English word” is set, from the English sentence (sentence) input in the column of “▽ English” in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “Sentence” is set, The creator extracts and inputs only important English words. Further, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “English / English” is set, the creator inputs (or selects from candidates) the content related to the English word in the English-English dictionary. These input processes may be automatically performed by the text processing unit 12 or the material management unit 11.

[Contents entered in the <Conversation> scene]
As shown in FIG. 5, for example, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “conversation” is set in the “▽ type” column in the <conversation> scene, “instruction” is displayed in the “▽ component” column. Reserved words such as “sentence”, “question”, “answer”, and “other answer” can be set. In this case, the creator inputs a conversational sentence in English as a learning material for listening learning corresponding to each reserved word in the column “▽ English”.

  For example, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “instruction sentence” is set in the “▽ component” column, what kind of conversation (learning) will start as the instruction sentence in the “▽ English” column. Enter an English sentence explaining the answer or an English sentence explaining the answer method.

  In addition, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “question” is set, an English sentence corresponding to a question in a conversation of a plurality of people is input in the column “▽ English sentence”. Similarly, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “answer” is set, an English sentence corresponding to the other party's answer is input in the column “▽ English sentence”. In addition, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “other answer” is set, an English sentence corresponding to another answer when there are a plurality of answers is input in the column “▽ English sentence”. The content line 23 in which each reserved word is set can repeatedly input a plurality of lines as shown. In this case, in the learning material, learning of the conversation proceeds in time series from the upper line to the lower line.

[Contents entered in the <phrase> scene]
Also, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “phrase” is set in the “▽ type” column in the <phrase> scene, “phrase” in the “▽ component” column "," Other phrase "reserved words can be set. The creator inputs a phrase as a learning material for listening learning, that is, a short English sentence such as an idiom or an idiomatic phrase, in the column of “▽ English sentence” in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “phrase” is set. If there is another expression of the same meaning in the target phrase, it can be entered in the column “▽ English” in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “other phrase” is set. For example, the “other phrase” may be extracted from the English-English dictionary data of the system material DB 102 by the material management unit 11 and automatically set and supplemented.

[Contents entered in the <word> scene]
As shown in FIG. 6, for example, in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “word” is set in the “▽ type” column in the <word> scene, “English” is displayed in the “▽ component” column. Reserved words such as “word”, “English-English”, and “example sentence” can be set. The creator inputs English words as teaching materials for listening learning in the column of “▽ English” in the content line 23 in which the reserved word “English words” is set. Further, in the content line 23 in which reserved words “English and English” and “example sentences” are set, the creator inputs (or selects from candidates) the contents and example sentences related to the English word in the English and English dictionary. These input processes may be automatically performed by the material management unit 11.

  As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the special tag “▼ sentence” includes “▽ pronunciation”, “▽ meaning”, and “▽ commentary” special tags as sub-elements in addition to the above “▽ English sentence”. Has been inserted. In the column “▽ pronunciation”, katakana notation and pronunciation symbol information of pronunciation of the target English word (or sentence) is set. In addition, a Japanese sentence indicating the meaning of the target English sentence or the like is set in the column “▽ Meaning”. Also, a Japanese sentence indicating a commentary on the target English sentence or the like is set in the “▽ commentary” column. These contents can be extracted from the English-Japanese dictionary data of the system material DB 102 by the material management unit 11 and automatically set and complemented, for example. Further, these contents may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 3 as necessary when the learning is performed by the user.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, special tags “▽ image” and “「 moving image ”are inserted as sub-elements in the special tag“ ▼ image ”. In each of these columns, information (file name or the like) for specifying image data or moving image data related to the target English sentence or the like is set. These contents can be extracted, for example, from the system material DB 102 by the material management unit 11 and automatically set and supplemented. Further, these images and moving images may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 3 as a background for easy understanding of the scene and the situation as necessary when the user performs the learning. Not only images and videos, but music data such as BGM and audio data may be set.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, special tags “▽ English”, “▽ split”, and “▽ Japanese” are inserted as sub-elements in the special tag “▼ sound”. In the “▽ English” column, information (file name, etc.) is automatically set to identify the voice data that reads out the English text entered in the “▽ English” column of the special tag “▼ Sentence”. Is done. Similarly, in the “▽ division” column, when the English sentence is a sentence longer than a certain length, the sentence processing unit 12 automatically divides the sentence into words and automatically specifies information for identifying voice data to be read out. Is set. Further, in the column “▽ Japanese”, information for specifying voice data to be read out is automatically set for a Japanese sentence automatically translated from an English sentence by the translation processing unit 13.

  Note that the voice data set here uses voice data synthesized by the voice processing unit 14 and recorded in the synthesized voice DB 110. When speech synthesis is difficult with a special word or the like and there is no corresponding speech data in the synthesized speech DB 110, data (raw speech) recorded by a person actually read out may be used.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the creator sets special tags and reserved words in the registration table, and inputs English sentences and the like as teaching materials for listening learning. At this time, in conjunction with the input of English text, etc., necessary information is generated from English text and other fields are set and supplemented, or related data is extracted from the system material DB 102 and set and supplemented. . As a result, it is possible to easily form a table serving as basic data for automatically generating a learning material for listening learning.

  As shown in the above example, in this embodiment, when other data is automatically or manually set / complemented to the table based on the data input by the creator, for example, “▽ English In addition to the setting / complementation within the same line as the content line 23 in which English or the like is input in the column “”, setting / complementation in which a new content line 23 is added may be performed.

  The former is a case in which columns such as “▽ meaning” and “▽ image” in the content line 23 are complemented with respect to English text or the like input in the column “▽ English”. In the latter case, for example, in the <Long Text> scene, the English text entered in the "▽ English" column of the content line 23 in which the reserved word "Sentence" is set in the "▽ Constituent" column, etc. When a new content line 23 with reserved words such as “English words” and “English and English” is added to the “▽ component” column, and the “▽ English” column is set and complemented. It is.

  Note that the process of setting / complementing other data based on the data input by the creator is performed by the process of the creator terminal 4 by a process such as a macro associated with a special tag (command), for example. It may be performed locally or may be performed online in cooperation with the processing on the server of the language teaching material creation system 1. Alternatively, the file of the table may be uploaded to the server and performed as processing on the server.

  Based on the table as described above, the teaching material creation unit 15 extracts text data, audio data, image data, etc. of the input contents such as English (English, Japanese, word break sentences, etc.) and predetermined data. It is possible to generate language teaching material data that can be executed or referred to from an application or the like by adding control information, meta information, and information such as contents to be heard and conditions to be described later.

<Hearing contents according to the learning situation>
In this embodiment, as described above, teaching materials of a plurality of levels (three levels in this embodiment) are provided, and the user's situation is improved by stepping up in order according to the learning situation and progress. Appropriate listening learning according to the situation is made possible. For example, for each of the above-described four scenes (<long sentence>, <conversation>, <phrase>, <word>), a teaching material that increases the difficulty in the order of steps 1 → 2 → 3 is provided. Which step of the three steps is to be learned may be manually selected by the user through the user terminal 3 as appropriate. Alternatively, a confirmation test or the like may be separately performed for each step, and when a score equal to or higher than the acceptance reference score is acquired, the process proceeds to the next step, or the step may be determined according to the acquired score.

  The contents and conditions of listening learning for each step can be set as appropriate. In the present embodiment, as described above, the contents such as English sentences which are unit elements constituting the language teaching material are managed by the table, and the language teaching material is generated based on the table. Therefore, the setting contents include, for example, the number of repetitions when reproducing (speaking) unit elements such as sentences, conversations, and words, whether or not to reproduce the meaning of Japanese, and in the case of English sentences such as sentences. Whether or not to divide and play, whether or not to play spelling in the case of words, whether or not to play back the contents of the English-English dictionary in the case of words, whether or not to play back alternative expressions for sentences and phrases, Various things can be flexibly included, such as whether or not to reproduce different expressions for conversation questions and answers.

[Learning learning in the <long sentence> scene]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of changing the contents of listening at each step in the <long sentence> scene in the present embodiment. In the figure, in order from the left, the elements to be reproduced are shown in order from the top in each of listening learning in steps 1 → 2 → 3. For example, in the listening learning in Step 1, for the purpose of understanding in detail, as shown in the figure, for “long sentences”, the reproduction of the voice in English and the repeated voice (represented as “re-speech” in the figure) are reproduced. In addition to the above, the reproduction of the meaning sound in Japanese (indicated as “semantic sound” in the figure) and the repeated sound (in the figure, indicated as “meaning re-speech”) are all performed. Next, reproduction is performed for each “sentence” constituting the “long sentence”, and further, reproduction is performed for each important “word” included in the “sentence”. At that time, in addition to the sound reproduction in English, the sound about the word break sentence (described as “word break sound” in the drawing) and the meaning sound in Japanese are also reproduced.

  As described above, the “long sentence” here is a plurality of lines (example in FIG. 5) in which the reserved word “sentence” is set in the column of “▽ component” in the example of the table shown in FIG. A relatively long English sentence of about 200 to several hundred words obtained by automatically combining comparatively short English sentences (sentences) consisting of about several tens of words distributed and input to the content line 23 in three lines) It is.

  On the other hand, in the listening learning in Step 2, English sentences are mainly reproduced, and Japanese semantic speech is reproduced only as “long sentences”. That is to say, with respect to the contents of the listening in step 1, in step 2, the reproduction of Japanese semantic speech in “sentence” and “word” is not performed.

  Furthermore, in the listening learning in Step 3, only English sentences and words are repeatedly reproduced, and Japanese semantic sounds and word break sounds are not reproduced. In other words, in response to the contents of listening in step 2, in step 3, further playback of Japanese semantic speech in “long sentence”, playback of word break speech in “sentence”, and one in “long sentence” and “word”. The re-sound reproduction of the copy is deleted and not performed.

  In this way, for example, as the step (level) increases, the supplementary speech such as Japanese semantic speech, word break speech, and re-speech is not gradually played back, so that the learning situation is reached. Efficient listening learning can be realized easily.

[Lesson learning in the <conversation> scene]
Similarly, FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of changing the contents of listening at each step in the <conversation> scene in the present embodiment. Since the basic contents are the same as in the example of FIG. 7, detailed description is omitted. For example, in the listening learning in step 1, first, in order to understand in detail, as shown in the figure, “conversation”, “question For each of the “answers”, the reproduction of the English sound and its repeated re-sound, the word break sound, the Japanese semantic sound and its re-repeated sound, etc. are all performed. On the other hand, in the listening learning in Step 2, English is mainly played back, and “speaking” is the only playback of semantic speech in Japanese. In step 3 listening learning, only English sentences are repeatedly reproduced, and Japanese semantic speech and word break speech are not reproduced.

[Learning learning in the <Phrase> scene]
Similarly, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of changing the contents of listening at each step in the <phrase> scene in the present embodiment. Since the basic contents are the same as in the example of FIG. 7, detailed explanation is omitted. However, for example, in the listening learning in Step 1, for the sake of understanding in detail, as shown in FIG. It is assumed that all of the voices, the word break voices, the meaning voices in Japanese and the repeated voices thereof are reproduced. On the other hand, in the listening learning in Step 2, only English sentences are reproduced, and semantic speech is not reproduced in Japanese. Also, in the listening learning in step 3, only English sentences are repeatedly reproduced, and word break speech is not reproduced.

[Learning learning in the <word> scene]
Similarly, FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of changing the contents of listening at each step in the <word> scene in the present embodiment. Since the basic contents are the same as in the example of FIG. 7, detailed description is omitted. However, for example, in the listening learning of Step 1, first, in order to understand in detail, as shown in FIG. ”And“ example sentence ”, in addition to playing the English voice and repeated re-sound, and the semantic voice in Japanese, it also plays the spelling voice (“ Spell voice ”in the figure) It is said.

  On the other hand, in the listening learning in Step 2, English is mainly played back, and the Japanese semantic speech is played back only with “words”. That is to say, with respect to the contents of the listening in step 1, in step 2, the Japanese semantic speech in “English” and “example sentence” is not reproduced. In step 3 listening learning, only English words and English sentences are repeatedly reproduced, and Japanese semantic speech and word break speech are not reproduced. In other words, in response to the content of listening in step 2, in step 3, further playback of Japanese semantic speech in “words”, playback of word break speech in “example sentences”, and partial re-speech in “words”. Is not supposed to be played.

  The examples of the contents of listening shown in FIGS. 7 to 10 are merely examples, and the creator can appropriately set different contents of listening for each scene, and can change the setting contents flexibly. These setting contents may be registered by the creator or user using the creator terminal 4 or user terminal 3 to access and register the language teaching material creation system 1. It is also possible to register via the input to the registration table shown in FIG. Alternatively, the learning management unit 16 may determine the learning level of the user from the contents of the learning history DB 130, and automatically set / register the contents of the listening process as described above. The registered contents are recorded in the learning material DB 120 or the user DB 140 by the learning material creation unit 15, for example.

<Screen example>
FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are diagrams showing an outline of screen examples displayed on the user terminal 3 during listening learning in the present embodiment. FIG. 11 shows an example of learning to hear the <conversation> scene, and FIG. 12 shows an example of learning to hear the <word> scene. Note that the language teaching material created in the present embodiment is mainly assumed to be used for listening learning, so that the screen display illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12 is not essential.

  In the example of FIG. 11, first, in the state where the English sentence related to the question and the Japanese sentence of the meaning are displayed on the left screen, according to the setting of the listening content as shown in the example of FIG. "Question voice" is reproduced, and thereafter, "question word break voice" obtained by dividing this into words is reproduced, and "question re-voice" is repeated. At this time, on the screen, a background image matching the conversation scene is displayed, an image of the questioner is displayed, and English or the like is displayed as if the questioner is talking. A BGM that matches the conversation scene may be played back.

  After that, the screen changes to the center screen, and in the state where the English text related to the answer and the Japanese sentence of the meaning are displayed, for example, according to the setting of the contents to be heard, the "answer voice" in English is played first, The “answer word break audio” divided for each word is reproduced, and “answer repeat audio” is reproduced twice. At this time, the image of the respondent is displayed on the screen, and English or the like is displayed as if the respondent is talking. Further, the screen is switched to the right screen according to the setting of the contents to be heard, and the same voice reproduction and screen display are performed for another answer. When the series of listening learning so far is completed, the listening learning for the next conversation starts.

  The contents of the teaching materials displayed or played back on each screen in the figure, that is, the contents such as English text, Japanese meaning, background image, BGM, etc. are stored in one line in the registration table shown in the examples of FIGS. Correspond to those set in the content line 23.

  Similarly, in the example of FIG. 12, in the state where the English word and the meaning Japanese are displayed on the screen on the left side, for example, according to the setting of the listening content as shown in the example of FIG. "Is played, then" English word spelling "is played for the spell, and" English word re-speech "is repeated. At this time, a background image matching the English word is displayed on the screen. BGM matching English words may be played back.

  After that, the screen changes to the center screen, and the English text in the English-English dictionary and the Japanese text of the meaning are displayed. "English-English dictionary English word-breaking speech" is reproduced, and "English word re-speech" is repeated. In addition, the screen switches to the right according to the setting of the listening content, and with the example sentence and the Japanese sentence of the meaning displayed, the "example sentence audio" is first played for the example sentence, and then divided into words. "Word break" is played back, and "Example sentence re-speech" is played back repeatedly. When the series of listening learning so far is completed, the listening learning for the next word is started.

  As described above, according to the language teaching material creation system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the creator inputs an English sentence or the like into a registration table in which a special tag or the like is embedded. A language teaching material for listening learning can be automatically created after extracting and supplementing relevant information from the system material DB 102 and the like.
