Description

  The present invention relates to a language learning material for learning words, idioms and other vocabulary when learning language.

  In conventional language learning materials, for example, learning is performed in order of frequency of use, words are learned in the form of collocations in which words are connected, words are used for learning in a long sentence, or One example sentence contains a plurality of words to improve learning efficiency.

However, in any of these learning methods, attention is not paid to the point of reviewing new words that have been learned and increasing the degree of knowledge retention, and most of the same words appear only once.
Moreover, even if the same word appears multiple times, it is not effective in terms of the degree of knowledge retention because it is not intentionally related.

Therefore, a learning method that applies Shiritori to language learning is also known.
This method is rhythmical and easy to remember words and collocations, but it is necessary to arrange words and collocations according to the rules of “Shiritori”, and the more vocabulary to be learned, the more difficult lexicons can be combined with vocabulary. And I have to make sentences.
As another method, a plurality of words in a foreign language are created in the form of being sequentially arranged on an information transmission medium, distinguished from each other by one or more characters, and more than one third of one word. Words containing the same repeated character string in the direction from the end to the beginning of the word are grouped into separate groups, and the corresponding translations and phonetic symbols are adjacent to each foreign word. The foreign language dictionary of alphabets arranged on an information transmission medium, wherein each word group is arranged side by side with other word groups, and the heads of the words of the other word groups start from the end. The same repetitive character string in the direction toward the word has the maximum number of characters that match the same repetitive character string in the direction from the end to the head of the word of each word group, and the word groups arranged side by side are Each other That mark or a blank space, the structure of the foreign language dictionaries that are disposed between the word group is known (Patent Document 1).
However, in this configuration, since only a part of the character strings of the words are grouped, the words in the groups can be compared, so it is good as a dictionary, but expects learning effects as words and sentences. I can't do it.
Japanese Patent No. 2928233 Alphabet foreign language dictionary See Fig. 1

  In the present invention, by presenting a new word to be learned in the same form or its application form (derived word), it can be repeatedly heard and heard, so the memory retention rate of the new word is increased. Can be expected.

In the invention of claim 1,
On an information transmission medium, a headword consisting of one or a plurality of words, a phrase concatenation or a phrase obtained by combining the headword with another word, and an example sentence using the headword in a sentence as one group,
A plurality of groups are displayed in order on the information transmission medium, and
The technical means is taken that the headword or the phrase concatenation or phrase using the headword is used in an example sentence of another headword that appears before or after the headword.
In the invention of claim 2,
A technical measure is taken that the headword, phrase concatenation or phrase and sentence displayed on the information transmission medium are associated with the voice recording medium and can be heard by voice.
In the invention of claim 3,
The technical means is that the information transmission medium is an English learning book and the voice recording medium is a portable memory such as a CD attached to the learning book.
In the invention of claim 4,
A technique in which the headword is used in an example sentence of another headword that appears immediately before or after the headword in the same form or semantic usage as the headword, or in a changed or different semantic usage. Take appropriate measures.
In the invention of claim 5,
The headword displayed in the spread page is the same part-of-speech and meaning as the headword, or in the example sentences of other headwords that appear on the same page or the next page before or after the page with a different part-of-speech or semantic usage The technical means that it is used for is taken.

The language learning teaching material of the present invention is centered on a headword (Word) composed of one or a plurality of words, and learns word linking / phrase (Phrase) and example sentences (Sentence) using the headword as one group. Therefore, it is possible not only to learn only words and collocations, but also to learn languages according to actual use.
Since the headword is used in headword example sentences appearing before and after the headword, a chain around the headword is performed through the example sentence, and the important word can be repeatedly stored.
In addition, these headwords, phrase concatenations, phrases, and example sentences can be listened to using voice storage media, so the user can repeat the reading aloud based on this, and the three organs of the eyes, ears, and mouth Can be used to learn.

The headwords to be learned are repeatedly used in the example sentences of other headwords in the same form or its application form (derivative word) to increase the memory retention rate of new words.
An embodiment applied to a learning reference book (paper medium) as an information transmission medium will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a spread page of a learning reference book.
2A and 2B are enlarged views of FIG. 1, in which FIG. 2A shows a left page 1A of the spread, and FIG. 2B shows a right page 1B of the spread.
On this page, five blocks are formed. In each block, the phrase concatenation / sentence 4 and the example sentence 5 are described as one group with the headword 3 as the center.
