JP6262948B2 - English grammar learning system - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to an English grammar learning system using a computer, and more particularly, to a computer English grammar learning system for relatively young learners.

  Attempts have been made to provide learning materials provided by paper media using a computer system. Information can be provided quickly and accurately by using a search system that integrates and manages problems and answers in a database. In other words, with a conventional paper medium, it was possible to search for information by providing a table of contents for each booklet, but when searching across multiple different booklets, or generally in the table of contents. When we needed a search with different content from the information given, we could no longer handle it. Further, according to the computer system using the database, it becomes easy to automatically select and provide the teaching materials according to the learner's achievement level of learning.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, a learning system that advances learning by calling textbook data and learning data from a storage medium to a display, displaying the necessary learning content on the screen and displaying the sound, and responding to it with a keyboard. Is disclosed. The learning unit of the grade corresponding to the learner, the test problem and the answer relating to this learning unit are stored in the database, and the learning result is recorded when the learner responds to the test problem. Also, depending on the learning result, the difficulty is automatically selected from the next learning and the test questions are given. Here, in the database, the difficulty of learning is arranged in the order of the contents of grades for learning, and test questions can be provided according to the learning results.

  By the way, in a learning system using a computer, while the operability of the system for obtaining information is simplified for the learner, a device of “fixing information to the learner” different from the conventional one is also necessary. For example, in the case of paper media, it is widely used to provide information and to fix the information by asking the learner to work on the paper media, and generally to use a learning material called a drill. ing. Similarly to this, a system has been proposed in which a learning system is combined with a touch panel to allow a learner to perform handwriting input as work and to fix information.

  For example, in Patent Literature 2, in a learning support device including a pen and a touch panel as a learner's operation terminal, an explanatory sentence including an important word is displayed for a predetermined time, and then an explanatory sentence excluding the important word is displayed. An apparatus for receiving input of important words from an operation terminal is disclosed. It is said that it is possible to make the learner memorize the important word efficiently by increasing the attention of the learner to the important word and making the operation input. Many learning systems such as such learning systems using a computer that attempts to measure “fixing of information to learners” by devising how to provide information to learners have been proposed.

  For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a Japanese grammar learning system in which parts of speech are color-coded so as to be visually distinguishable, particularly a grammar learning system for particles. Specifically, particles are classified into two types: particles that describe the relationship between information and predicates, and particles that describe the selection and parallel relationship in the information. The former particle is placed in the first column, and the second column The latter particle is placed in and displayed. The part of speech that is not used before the first row is color-coded for each part of speech, and the part of speech that is used after the second row is displayed color-coded for each part of speech. Rather than learning easy grammar as needed as a subject, grammar is learned as needed, and it is possible to visually illustrate the grammar by color-coding it even if general sentence examples are used.

  As in Patent Document 3, in a grammar learning system using a computer, “color classification” is used for presentation of information to the learner, and “fixing of information to the learner” due to visual effects can be expected. In particular, a relatively young learner wants a learning system based on visual effects that has a large individual difference in understanding explanations in sentences and a small individual difference.

  The present invention has been made in view of the situation as described above, and its purpose is to provide an English grammar learning system using a computer that enables higher information to be fixed to the learner. is there.

  An English grammar learning system using a computer according to the present invention, a learner terminal comprising an input device and a display device, an English sentence composed of English words, a plurality of question information related to the grammar of the English sentence, A database that stores a plurality of pieces of work information, and selects one of the pieces of work information, causes the display device to display the English sentence and the question information, and a word string corresponding to the question information In the problem presentation and input control to select and input from the input device, the question information is displayed in different colors on the display device, and the English word is selected and input from the input device to be color-coded in the different colors. It is characterized by making it.

  According to such an invention, not only is it possible to provide color-coded English grammar teaching materials that can be visually illustrated to enhance the effect of grammar learning, but the learner himself can create the teaching material to learn more about the contents. It makes it possible to establish high information.

  In the above-described invention, the input from the input device may be performed by selecting the question information and then selecting the English word. According to this invention, the learner can be made aware of the relationship between the question information and the selection of English words, and higher information can be fixed to the learner.

  In the above-described invention, the database includes word string information that is a part of the English sentence corresponding to each question information, and the problem presentation and input control are input from the input device and the different colors With regard to color coding, it may be characterized by displaying whether the word string corresponds to each question information. According to such an invention, it is possible to prevent mistakes in creating a color-coded English grammar teaching material that can be visually illustrated and enhance the effect of grammar learning, and to make the learner more conscious of work, and to fix higher information Is made possible.

It is a schematic diagram which shows the structure of the English grammar learning system in one Example of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the procedure of the process which an English grammar learning system performs. It is a figure which shows the example of a display of work information.

  An English grammar learning system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  First, the configuration of the English grammar learning system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the English grammar learning system 1 of the present embodiment learns via a learner terminal 2 such as a personal computer used by a learner (user) during learning, and a communication line such as the Internet. A user terminal 2 and a server 3 that receives and transmits information.

  The learner terminal 2 includes an input device 4 such as a mouse and a keyboard used by the learner for input, and a display device 5 such as a display for displaying information transmitted from the server 3.

  The server 3 includes a control unit 6 that includes a CPU, ROM, RAM, and the like (not shown) and executes a predetermined program, and a storage device 7. The storage device 7 is, for example, a hard disk, and includes an area where a database 8 (DB) in which a plurality of work information described later is stored is constructed. The storage device 7 also stores information related to the learner's learning performance.

  Next, processing executed by the English grammar learning system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described along FIG. 2 with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, first, for example, an ID is input from the input device 4 to the learner terminal 2 as information for the learner to identify himself / herself. The learner terminal 2 accepts this and transmits it to the server 3 (S1).

  Next, the server 3 that has received the ID (S2) reads information related to the learner, such as learning results, from the storage device 7 based on the received ID by the control unit 6, and the display device 5 based on the read information. One piece of work information to be displayed is determined from the database 8 (S3). The server 3 returns the determined work information to the learner terminal 2 (S4).

  Subsequently, the server 3 displays the received work information on the display device 5 of the learner terminal 2 (S5). Referring also to FIG. 3, the work information includes an English sentence 12 composed of English words, a plurality of pieces of question information 11 related to the grammar of the English sentence 12, and a single piece corresponding to each piece of question information 11 in the English sentence 12 A combination with word string information that is information indicating a word string composed of a plurality of English words is included. The question information 11 includes, for example, a combination of part-of-speech information indicating four types of part-of-speech types and color information that associates different colors with the four parts-of-speech. The question information 11 is displayed on the part of speech buttons 11 a to 11 d on the screen 10 of the display device 15. That is, each part-of-speech button 11a to 11d is filled with a color corresponding to each part-of-speech, and a character (part-of-speech information) indicating the type of part-of-speech is displayed so as to be superimposed thereon. Further, a question sentence 13 for prompting selection and designation of English words corresponding to each of these four parts of speech may be displayed separately.

  Further, the server 3 causes the learner terminal 2 to accept an input from the input device 4 (S6). At this time, the learner operates the pointer 15 displayed on the display device 5 with a mouse or the like, and performs work such as input based on the above-described work information. A keyboard may be used for work. For example, in response to the question sentence 13, the part of speech button 11a is clicked to select “auxiliary verb” as the part of speech. Then, the “auxiliary verb” is selected. At this time, the color density of the selected part-of-speech button 11a is changed, the color of the pointer 15 is changed to the same color as the color of the selected part-of-speech button 11a, and "auxiliary verb" is selected as the corresponding part-of-speech. Is displayed. Subsequently, the learner selects an English word considered to be an auxiliary verb from the English sentence 12 and designates it with the pointer 15. Then, the designated English word is highlighted and displayed in the same color as the color of the part of speech button 11a (auxiliary verb). In other words, the background of English words is filled with the corresponding color. You can also change the color of English words and display the underline of the corresponding color. Similarly, the learner selects each part-of-speech button 11a to 11d, selects the English words that are considered to correspond to each, and designates all of them. Thereby, when the English sentence 12 corresponds to each part-of-speech, it is color-coded to the color that the learner thinks.

  In this way, when the learner color-codes the English sentence 12, as a result, a color-coded English grammar teaching material that can be visually illustrated to enhance the effect of grammar learning is created. The learners will create such English grammar teaching materials by their own work, and will be strongly aware of the content, and will be able to establish higher information about such content. Further, by letting the learner perform both the selection of the part of speech buttons 11a to 11d and the designation of the corresponding English word, the relationship between the selected question information 12 and the designated English word can be made more conscious.

  When the designation of the English word is completed, the learner designates the answer button 19 and confirms the answer. Further, the remaining time 18 is displayed, and when the remaining time becomes 0 earlier than the answer button 19 is designated, the answer is determined.

  When the answer is finalized, it is checked with the word string information to determine whether the color coding is correct (S7). That is, it is determined based on the word string information whether the color classification performed by the learner on the English sentence 12 is color-coded to the correct part-of-speech color for each English word, and the correct answer or the incorrect answer is displayed. It is displayed on the device 5 to notify the learner. The determination result is transmitted to the server 3 (S8), and the server 3 receiving the result stores the learning result of the learner in the storage device 7 together with the code indicating the work information transmitted in the above (S9). At this time, the color-coded English sentence 12 may also be stored as an English grammar teaching material so that it can be referred to as requested by the learner thereafter. It is also possible to repeat the same flow a plurality of times from the determination of work information (S3). At that time, work information whose determination result is incorrect may be selected again as work information to be displayed on the display device 5. By this. The learner can correct the mistake in creating the English grammar teaching material described above by repeating the wrong color coding until the correct color coding is achieved.

  In this example, in specifying the English word corresponding to each part of speech, the learner selected and specified both the part of speech and the corresponding English word, but changed the part of speech selection state in order every predetermined time. It is also possible to specify the corresponding English word within that time, or to specify which part of speech is in order for each English word. In addition to specifying an English word for each part of speech, it is also possible to specify a plurality of English words and input a predetermined phrase or the like. That is, the question information 11 is designated as a predetermined phrase, and based on this, one or more English words are designated by the learner. At this time, the above-described word string information is used as information indicating a word string composed of one or more English words indicating a phrase corresponding to the question information 11, and it is determined whether the color coding is correct as described above. May be. Such a word string is not limited to continuous English words, and other word strings may be sandwiched between the English sentences 12.

  In addition, before determining an answer, you may perform the above-mentioned determination and notification of a correct answer or an incorrect answer for every designation | designated of an English word, for example. This prevents erroneous creation of the above-mentioned English grammar teaching materials, making the learner strongly aware of the work of selecting the question information 11 indicating the part of speech or the predetermined phrase and specifying the corresponding English word, and more. Enables high information retention.

  Thus, by letting the learner color-code the English sentence 12 according to the question information 11, it is possible to create an English grammar teaching material that visually illustrates each part of speech or phrase of the English sentence 12. As described above, the English grammar teaching material is created by the learner himself / herself, making the learner more conscious of the content and enabling higher information to be fixed to the learner. In other words, the English grammar learning effect can be enhanced.

  As mentioned above, although the Example by this invention and the modification based on this were demonstrated, this invention is not necessarily limited to this, A person skilled in the art will deviate from the main point of this invention, or the attached claim. Various alternative embodiments and modifications could be found without doing so.
