Description

[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LEARNING ENGLISH PHONICS [0002]

And more particularly, to an apparatus and method for learning English phonics and alphabets.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the contents set forth in this section are not prior art to the claims of this application and are not to be construed as prior art to be included in this section.

In Korea, English education is started in the public education institutions from the third grade of elementary school, and parents who have high education are interested in English early education. Many parents are looking for effective ways to study English for their children and are willing to invest in it. Although many English textbooks are currently being published and various English learning methods for children are introduced, it is not easy to find effective learning methods due to the language characteristics.

Especially phonics learning is not only the first step of English learning, but also a very important learning concept for students studying English for the first time. The existing English phonics learning is structured so that it is difficult for the children to learn easily without special help. Therefore, many children abandon early English studying during phonics learning.

1, the English phonics learning apparatus may include a database 110, an extraction unit 120, a control unit 130, and a display unit 140. The database (storage unit) 110 stores learning data and programs including English phonemes, syllables, words, accents and intonation display data, English and Korean pronunciation symbols, English words and alphabet reading image data, do.

The extraction unit 120 selects an alphabet or a word to be displayed to the user, and distinguishes the phonemes constituting the selected word. Then, learning data including English pronunciation symbols corresponding to the separated phonemes, Hangul phonemes, accents and intonation display data, and reading image data are extracted.

The control unit 130 displays the extracted learning data on the touch input

Or the output order of the learning data according to the input signal by the electronic pen and the stored data display order. Specifically, the controller 130 analyzes the phoneme counts of the input words and the phonemes of consonants, vowels, and half vowels, and sequentially analyzes the phonetic symbols, phonemes, phonemes, syllables, and words corresponding to the phonemes of the input words As shown in FIG. The display unit 140 sequentially displays the extracted learning data according to a control signal of the control unit 130. [

Fig. 2 shows examples of the alphabet and mixed consonant Hangul, phonetic, and phonetic symbols stored in the database.

Figure 3 shows a display embodiment of an English phonics learning device.

3, the display unit 140 includes a first area (a) for displaying a word or an alphabet, a second area (b) for displaying a read image of a word and an alphabet, a second area And a fourth area (d) for receiving a learning word or an alphabet image from the user, and displays contents corresponding to the respective areas. For example, when alphabet A is selected from the user, alphabetical symbols and the Hangul sound value corresponding to the selected alphabet are displayed in the first area for displaying the alphabet. Thereafter, when the user clicks on the second area (b) in which the alphabet reading image is displayed, the image content that pronounces the alphabet A is displayed in the second area. After displaying the alphabet reading image, if you click the third area showing the writing order, the order of writing the selected alphabet is displayed. In the fourth area, the user can perform alphabet writing exercises with his / her finger or electronic pen. The display unit 140 can display the learning completion based on the comparison result by comparing the alphabet shape input in the fourth area with the alphabet shape of the first area. For example, when the image matching rate of the alphabet shape shown in the first area and the symbol inputted in the fourth area is less than a certain level, a message for re-inputting can be generated and provided to the user. If the matching rate is more than a certain level, Hangul sound is displayed at the bottom of the selected alphabet.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a data processing flow of the English phonics learning method according to the embodiment.

In step S410, learning data including English phonemes, syllables, words, accents and intonation display data, English and Korean pronunciation symbols, and reading image data necessary for English phonics learning are stored.

In step S420, an alphabet or a word is selected, and in step S430, the composition of the selected word is analyzed. In step S440, phonemes constituting the selected word are classified and the number of separated phonemes is analyzed. In step S450, phoneme data and phonetic value data corresponding to the word structure including phonemes are extracted and the display method of the extracted phoneme is determined. In step S450, English and Hangul pronunciation symbols corresponding to phonemes, intensification and accent display data, and read image data are extracted and a display method is determined. In step S460, the extracted data is sequentially displayed.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a data processing flow for sequential display in the English phonics learning apparatus according to the embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a display. 5 and 6 will be described together for the sake of understanding.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the user inputs the word 'TENT', a Hangul symbol [Ternet] indicating the pronunciation of 'TENT' and a 'tent' indicating the English word are displayed. Then, a phoneme-by-phoneme speech is outputted (S462), and each phoneme is displayed (S464). For example, after outputting the voice of 'T' which is the pronunciation of 'T' corresponding to the first phoneme, the alphabet 'T' is displayed on the screen and the pronunciation symbol [t] corresponding to the alphabet phoneme is displayed. Then, the second phoneme 'E', which is the pronunciation corresponding to the second phoneme 'E', is displayed after the phonetic output, and the phonetic symbol [ㅔ] corresponding thereto is displayed. Similarly, after outputting the pronunciation voice 'N' of the third phoneme 'N', the alphabet 'N' is displayed, and the corresponding phonetic symbol [] is displayed. Finally, after outputting the pronunciation voice 'T' of the last phoneme 'T' of the word, the alphabet 'T' is displayed and the corresponding pronunciation symbol [T] is displayed.

 After outputting the phonetic voice, alphabet image and phonetic symbol of each phoneme constituting the word, the voice (tent) of the syllable TENT combined with the phoneme is outputted (S466) and the syllable alphabet and phonetic symbol are displayed again S468). As shown in FIG. 6, when the pronunciation voice of the TENT word combined with the first phoneme T, the second phoneme E, the third phoneme N, and the fourth phoneme T is output, So that the phonemics are clearly distinguished and the phonemes of the phonemes are displayed at different timings when the phonemes are output.

FIG. 7 is a table showing a display example of a sound value displayed according to hybrid consonants in order to learn the phonetic values of the hybrid consonants by words in the English learning method according to the embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7, when the hybrid consonant exists at a position where the consonant exists in the word, the sound display is different when the sound is the first sound, the middle sound, or the sound. For example, ch- (first sound), -ch (middle sound), -ch (phoneme) / ph- (first sound), -ph - th (first sound), -th (middle sound) -, -th (sound) wh- (first sound), -wh (middle sound) As shown in FIG. 7, each sound value is displayed in Korean.

 FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a display example for learning words including double consonants.
