Description

Auxiliary system and method for learning words capable of being customized

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of computer-aided education, and particularly relates to a customizable word learning auxiliary system and method.

Background

The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.

The importance of English learning in modern society is self-evident. For example, English is one of the indispensable tools for personal survival and development as a world-wide language, and is also one of the key research and examination subjects in different education stages. In the field of education, education techniques and theories related to English learning have been one of the hot research fields for educating researchers. Vocabulary learning of english is a relatively important and critical ring in english learning and education. In non-native english language countries, english in a learning-for-life environment cannot meet the need for word expansion, and therefore specialized targeted word learning remains a necessary component in non-native english or official language countries.

In addition to classroom learning, word learning and memory software tools have received some attention in recent years. However, according to the knowledge of the inventor, most of the assistant learning software is business software, and such software is generally based on a word bank selected by a merchant, i.e., words to be learned cannot be customized by self as required, and is mostly sorted by alphabetical order, or screened according to the difficulty level (such as four levels and six levels) of the words, and is sorted in a certain order, but this way may cause many words that have been learned by a user to repeatedly appear many times, waste the learning time of the user, cause poor user experience, and also cause unnecessary waste and occupation of system storage space, and also require a higher server to support data, thereby causing waste in cost.

On the other hand, the existing learning software or system cannot be modified and expanded in function, and can not be used as a teaching tool by a teacher to carry out cooperative teaching aiming at a specific word set or a learning object.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention provides a customizable word learning auxiliary system and a method, which can store related words in groups according to the feedback of a user to form an individualized and customized storage area, the user can flexibly select words in different storage areas for learning, the same learned process vocabulary cannot be repeatedly displayed for many times, and the efficiency is improved.

According to some embodiments, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

a customizable English word learning auxiliary method comprises the following steps:

receiving a learning request of a user, calling a corresponding pre-stored word list according to the learning request, acquiring word-producing degrees currently configured by word information stored in the word list, and independently storing the word information with the word-producing degrees meeting a set range into a storage column;

outputting and displaying the word information in the storage column according to a preset sequence, and receiving the update of the word-generating degree configuration of the corresponding word information by a user;

and traversing in a storage column at regular time, deleting word information which does not conform to the set range in the word list according to the updated configuration word generation degree, and updating the corresponding word list.

In an alternative embodiment, the word list is a plurality of word lists, and is constructed according to the input word information of the user or according to a set sequence.

The word list may be stored separately according to the difference of the first written letter, or may be pre-constructed according to the user's input.

As an alternative, each word information in the word list has its own word-producing degree to represent the familiarity of the user.

A higher degree of pronouncing indicates that the user is less familiar with it, and a degree of pronouncing of zero indicates that the user has mastered the word.

The word information may be a word, or may include a word, and information such as a paraphrase, an example sentence, and a source of the word.

As an alternative embodiment, the specific process of outputting and displaying the word information in the storage column according to the predetermined sequence is as follows: randomly selecting a word with the word-generating degree in the storage column conforming to the set range as a word to be learned, judging whether the word is the word to be learned displayed last time, and if not, outputting and displaying.

As an alternative embodiment, the specific process of outputting and displaying the word information in the storage column according to the predetermined sequence is as follows: and traversing the words in the storage column, sequentially arranging all the words according to the word-generating degree, and sequentially outputting and displaying the words according to the arrangement sequence.

As an alternative embodiment, the specific process of outputting and displaying the words in the storage column according to the predetermined sequence is as follows: traversing the words in the storage column, sequentially arranging the words according to the word-producing degrees, randomly selecting the words with the word-producing degrees meeting the set range in the storage column as the words to be learned, judging whether the words are the words to be learned displayed last time, if not, outputting and displaying, wherein in the random selection process, the more front words in the word-producing degree sequence are output and displayed more times.

As an alternative implementation, configuring the initial display times to be output of the words in the storage column according to the word-producing degree, wherein the initial display times to be output is in direct proportion to the word-producing degree, recording the output display times of the corresponding words, and subtracting the output display times from the initial display times to be output to obtain the display times to be output;

randomly selecting a word with the word-generating degree in the storage column conforming to the set range and the display frequency to be output being not zero as a word to be learned, judging whether the word is the word to be learned displayed last time, and if not, outputting and displaying.

It is to be understood that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

It is noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, and it should be understood that when the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising" are used in this specification, they specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, devices, components, and/or combinations thereof, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Aiming at the problems that the existing learning software or system can not realize customized learning and can not provide a communication bridge and an interaction channel for teachers and students and the like, the invention provides a customizable word learning auxiliary system and a customizable word learning auxiliary method.

Example one

In this embodiment, english word learning is taken as an example for explanation. But is not intended to represent that the present invention can only be used to learn english words.

As shown in fig. 1, a customizable word learning support method specifically includes the following steps:

1. receiving a selection instruction of a user for the word list. In this embodiment, the word list may be created on different Excel pages, and a new word list may be displayed in the selection box after the interface is connected to the word list through the VBA code.

As shown in fig. 2, a word list structure. As an example, there are 10 words in the table. Where column a is the original sequence number of the word as the unique identifier of the word. The B column is the word-forming degree of the word, and the attribute can change in the process of word learning. The higher the value, the less familiar the word. If the word-producing degree is 0, the word is already mastered. Columns C and D are words and paraphrases, respectively; the column E is the serial number of the unmanaged word. The column stores word numbers with a degree of pronouncing other than 0, and the program searches for an unconcerned word through the column.

More words and more word lists can be added in actual use. The word list is used as a table for storing words and is also used as a data source for the word learning interface program to access.

The word list can be a plurality of word lists, the word lists can be stored according to different first written letters, the design can be connected with other systems, existing vocabularies can be directly imported, and the word list is convenient and fast to use.

The word list can also be constructed in advance according to the input of the user, and the word list can be constructed according to the learning requirement of the user, such as reading encountered in daily learning or new words learned in hearing. During teaching, the teacher can be flexibly configured according to the arrangement of courses, for example, words needing to be mastered are listed according to the text of each course. The teaching aid has great flexibility, really realizes auxiliary teaching, realizes centralized and flexible configuration of teachers, realizes respective receiving and targeted learning of students, and effectively interacts teaching.

2. A request from a user to begin learning is received, and a corresponding word list selected by the user is identified from the request. And counting the number of words in the corresponding word list and informing the user.

In the present embodiment, the pronouncing attributes (shown in column B in fig. 2) of all words are set to 1 at the time of initial entry of the word list.

Any word with a word-generation degree of not 0, i.e., the word number that has not yet been grasped, is saved in the unconmastered column (may also be referred to as a storage column), as shown in column E in fig. 2. A higher degree of pronouncing indicates that the user is less familiar with it, and a degree of pronouncing of zero indicates that the user has mastered the word.

3. And checking whether the word generation degrees of all the words are all 0, if so, indicating that the table is completely mastered, and prompting, wherein the user can reselect the word table to continue learning. Otherwise, i.e. if there are still words in hand, the next step is entered.

4. A word is selected to be displayed as the current word.

For a certain word list, how to design the presentation mode of the words is the most critical problem of the word memorizing tool. If the words in a table are directly and sequentially presented once, the difference between the new words and the familiar words of the user cannot be recorded, so that the user cannot learn in a targeted manner, and the advantage of the electronic memory system compared with the traditional mode is lost. On the other hand, there is no relatively complex word presentation and associated theoretical basis.

In the embodiment, the words are presented based on the mastery degree of the user on the words, the implementation process is simple, and the words can be migrated to different implementation platforms.

The choice of presentation word is based on two principles: a, one word which is not grasped is selected randomly as a word display preferentially. The word not grasped here is a word whose word-producing degree is not 0; b the words selected twice cannot be the same.

With such a design, each time an attempt is made to select an unconfined word, but there is no case where the same word is displayed twice in succession. This is done to take into account that if an unmanaged word display is selected consecutively, the effect of memory will be reduced. Thus, in this embodiment, the word is alternated with other words. The system here only saves the last word that occurred. Of course, two or even more words may be recorded, so that the interval between the occurrence of the same word is further increased.

Of course, if only one unowned word "abandon" currently remains after learning, the existing list may be consolidated by interspersing the already mastered words, as shown in fig. 3, and the sequence of selecting words may be: abandon → aboard → abandon → aborlish → abandon → …, the unapproved word does not appear continuously.

The word information may be a word or may include a word and information such as a paraphrase, an example sentence, a source, etc. of the word, and the paraphrase area is displayed as shown in column D in fig. 2. The system can be added by itself or connected with other systems to acquire the existing information.

5. And updating the word generation degree of each word according to the condition of the user, then returning to the step 3, and entering a loop.

Example two

The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is:

in this embodiment, before display, all the words in the unsolved column are traversed, the words are sequentially arranged according to the word-generating degree, the word with the high word-generating degree is arranged in front of the word line, and then output and display are sequentially performed according to the arrangement order. This also ensures that the words displayed twice are not the same word.

EXAMPLE III

The embodiment can combine the advantages of the word display mode selection in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, which are specifically as follows: traversing the words in the storage column, sequentially arranging the words according to the word-producing degrees, randomly selecting the words with the word-producing degrees meeting the set range in the storage column as the words to be learned, judging whether the words are the words to be learned displayed last time, if not, outputting and displaying, wherein in the random selection process, the more front words in the word-producing degree sequence are output and displayed more times.

Configuring initial display times to be output of the words in the storage column according to the word-producing degree, wherein the initial display times to be output are in direct proportion to the word-producing degree, recording the output display times of the corresponding words, and subtracting the output display times from the initial display times to be output to obtain the display times to be output;

Example four

A customizable word learning assistance system, comprising:

and a display module configured to output and display the word information in the storage column in a predetermined order, as shown in fig. 4, wherein in the embodiment, an interface of the display module includes a word display area, a paraphrase display area, a word list selection box, a "start learning" button, a "display paraphrase" button, yes and no buttons, and a remaining unconfined word number display area.

The word learning interface is a control based on VBA, and the control code is compiled by VBA. The word list is a unit of collection of learning or memorizing words. For word learning, if the number of words to be learned is large, the learning is generally performed by dividing the words into a plurality of word lists (by chapters or number). This is also the way most textbook or word software takes. Since the Excel table is suitable for storing lists, different word lists can be established in the Excel table in the system.

In this embodiment, the input module may use a common input module such as a keyboard and a mouse.

For example, when a word is displayed, the focus of the interface jumps to a 'show paraphrase' button, and the user only needs to press enter without clicking a mouse. Then, the focus automatically jumps to a 'yes' button again, if the focus is mastered, the user continues to press the enter, and if the focus is not mastered, the user presses a right direction key and then presses the enter. That is, when learning is performed using the system, only one-handed keyboard operation is required at other times than selecting a word list and clicking to start learning, and only the enter key and the right key are used. Therefore, time can be greatly saved, and the learning efficiency is improved. In addition, since the system is frame based, the window can be closed and restarted at any time.

EXAMPLE five

A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a plurality of instructions adapted to be loaded by a processor of a terminal device and to execute a customizable english word learning aid method as described in embodiments one-three.

EXAMPLE six

A terminal device comprising a processor and a computer readable storage medium, the processor being configured to implement instructions; the computer readable storage medium is used for storing a plurality of instructions, and the instructions are suitable for being loaded by a processor and executing the customizable english word learning aid method in the first embodiment and the third embodiment.

By the above embodiments, customizability as a word list can be achieved. Regardless of the stage of english learning or the examination of english learning, theoretically there is no word list that is the best and only the word list that is the most suitable for the individual. Any word list is summarized in terms of a specific textbook, class study, examination, or self-learned english text or hearing material. From an educational and learning perspective, word lists should be constantly changeable, updatable, and cumulative. On the other hand, different dictionaries, software or textbooks may have different interpretations for the definition of a word. Paraphrases or example sentences also need to be established for different learning objects. For example, a simple chinese paraphrase may be selected for a poorly based student. And for students with certain foundations, the method is more suitable for word explanation in bilingual or even English. Customization for both of these aspects is not currently available with commercial software.

The word list in the embodiment can be completely built by the user, and the user can adjust other information such as paraphrases and example sentences of words according to the content in the added word list.

The expansion and the applicability are strong. The general user can directly establish the word list for use. Personnel with a programming base if VBA can further expand the system to add more information or functionality to the word. Such as word provenance, synonym, antonym, similarity, update time of a word, etc. Meanwhile, the system is suitable for learning not only English, but also other languages and even ancient languages. All that needs to be modified is the content. The algorithms proposed by the system can also be integrated into other platforms.

In addition, although Excel word list-based word learning or memory methods exist, most methods mechanically check whether a word is known one by one and mark the word using a more primitive method, and the sequence is the same each time. This has some effect on the memory effect of the words. However, since the words are randomly selected in the first and third embodiments, the order of each time is not the same. Meanwhile, the system uses a program to automatically record and process the word mastering degree, and the learning and memorizing efficiency is further improved.
