Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The language is a series of chunks of sounds that contain a single meaning of chunks. The speaker speaks one lump per breath, and the listener naturally accepts it.

Here, a chunk refers to a bundle of individual units, and in a language, a chunk refers to a bundle of vocabulary expressing one meaning. A chunk usually consists of three to five words. It is also known as chunking verbal actions (speaking, listening, writing, reading) that bind sentences in chunks.

How to improve your fluency in language, especially in Indo-European languages, including English, depends on how quickly you can hear and understand words or vocabulary that are heard quickly. There may be many reasons why it is hard to hear, but the biggest reason is that the speed of understanding the speed of the foreign language being heard cannot be followed. To overcome this problem, it is effective to widen the unit to understand and accept at once, and to increase the recognition speed of the expanded chunk unit. In addition, since this is a natural phenomenon of a general language, especially a language belonging to an Indian European family, it is preferable to learn a foreign language using the same.

For example, a sentence of a foreign language, which was not heard just by increasing the time interval between chunk units in the sentence, can be heard immediately. Furthermore, the effect of language learning can be greatly improved by patterning the exposure to foreign languages in chunks and controlling the time interval between chunk units.

The present invention relates to a language learning method using chunking. First, a method of generating a chunk recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention used for language learning will be described.

There are two possible structures for using the chunk recording medium used for language learning. One is to encode the chunk information in the multimedia file, and the other is to make the chunk pattern data of the multimedia file into a file to be linked to the multimedia file. At this time, the audio signal, the text signal, and the video signal of the multimedia file are all linked by the chunk pattern data.

1 is a flowchart showing a method of generating a chunk recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 1, a multimedia file is loaded into a multimedia device to generate a chunk recording medium according to the present invention. A multimedia file is a recording medium in a digital or analog format including a foreign language voice in its contents, and the multimedia device used here includes a computer, an mp3 player, a CD player, a DVD player, a video player, an audio player, a game machine, a mobile phone, and a digital multimedia player (DMB). One or more selected from the group including multimedia broadcasting (PDA), personal digital assistant (PDA) and portable multimedia player (PMP), preferably a computer, an electronic mixer, capable of modifying or editing the multimedia file, One or more devices selected from the group including mp3 players, CD players, DVD players, video players, audio players, game machines, mobile phones, DMB, PDAs and portable multimedia players (PMPs) are used independently or in conjunction with one another.

While the loaded multimedia file is played on the multimedia device, the contents of the language data included in the multimedia file are analyzed in chunks. At this time, the analysis of the multimedia file to be played in chunks is performed by a native speaker or a foreign language expert who is familiar with the foreign language, and it is preferable that the multimedia file is classified into sentence units or paragraph units in addition to chunk units.

A series of signals is inserted between the chunk units of the multimedia file analyzed in chunk units to form chunk pattern data in which the multimedia file is classified in chunk units. In this case, it is preferable that a series of different signals are inserted between the sentence unit or the paragraph unit of the multimedia file.

For example, when the language material included in the multimedia file has the structure shown in FIG. 2, the language material included in the multimedia file or used for language learning may be divided into a multi-level structure of paragraphs, sentences, and chunks. In this case, paragraphs are marked with P (Paragraph), sentences are marked with S (Sentence), and chunks are marked with CK (Chunk), and numbers are assigned in order, and each paragraph, sentence and chunk is assigned a unique symbol. For example, the symbol for the first chunk is P1-S1-CK1.

When the symbols of sentence units and paragraph units are allocated in this way, chunk units as well as chunk units may be increased later in language learning so that they may be used for learning by dividing into sentence units and paragraph units.

Subsequently, the chunk pattern data is changed and stored as a chunk file which is a multimedia recording medium. The chunk pattern data is coded to include the contents of the multimedia file or to be linked to the multimedia file. The formed chunk pattern data and chunk files are digital data and include a computer, an electronic mixer, an mp3 player, a CD player, a DVD player, a video player, an audio player, a game machine, a mobile phone, a DMB, a PDA, and a portable multimedia player (PMP).

If necessary, it is also possible to connect and use various types of multimedia devices. In this case, the loaded multimedia file may be transmitted from an external data providing means or used as a storage medium in which the file is recorded. Among these, portable devices can be used more effectively for language learning.

The multimedia apparatus reads the chunk pattern data of the multimedia file and recognizes the chunk pattern data corresponding to the multimedia file. In this case, the chunk pattern data is included in the multimedia file or designated as an independent file, and is preferably recognized by signals inserted between chunk units. As described above, the independent file is linked to the multimedia file so that all of the audio signal, text signal, and video signal of the multimedia file are linked by the chunk pattern data.

Select the mode in which the multimedia file is played by the multimedia apparatus using the chunk pattern data. At this time, the mode in which the multimedia file is played is divided into, for example, a normal mode or a pattern mode. In general mode, multimedia files are played in order in chunks, and pattern mode is divided into various methods designed to make multimedia files effective for language learning.

The pattern mode may, for example, play a multimedia file by constantly increasing or decreasing the time interval between chunk units, selecting a portion of the multimedia file repeatedly in chunk units, and repeating the time interval between chunk units. The multimedia file is repeatedly played while being reduced from a sufficiently long time to a short time, and the learner can practice speaking by playing the multimedia file while giving a length or more time interval between the selected chunk units between the selected chunk units. And so on. It is also preferable to use these pattern modes in combination with each other.

In this various possible modes, language learning is performed by playing multimedia files using chunk pattern data. In this case, a function in which sentences are displayed in letters according to chunk units may be selectively used in the multimedia device, and thus may be used for language learning.

By chunking, even beginner learners are divided into bundles of sounds that can be heard and understood, and thus are used for learning, thereby increasing the learner's desire to learn and increasing the recognition speed of the chunks, thereby enabling fast long-listening.
