Abstract

PURPOSE:To mention together an English sentence in parallel to a Japanese sentence written vertically by parsing the English sentence, and displaying a word, a code, a numeral, etc., which are used therein in vertical writing without changing its word order. CONSTITUTION:An English sentence is parsed, and a word, a code and a numeral which are used therein are displayed in vertical writing without changing its word order in accordance with its grammar. In this case, the word consisting of many alphabets is cut, as a rule, in a pause of a syllable in order to put its shape in order. Also, a large numeral is cut, as a rule, in a part of a unit of three digits. Moreover, a continued line is started, as a rule, from the left side. Such as English teaching material displayed in the most similar shape to vertical writing of Japanese language is made, and it is utilized. Also, this vertical writing is used for dictation and writing. Furthermore, that which is obtained by writing vertically an international voice symbol is used for training hearing.

Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a learning material in which English words and the like are arranged vertically.

[0002] [Prior Art] Various things have been tried so far, but in the end, many people demand only the effort of learners, and the structure and writing style of English to be learned have been modified. There were no teaching materials.

[0003] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The structure of English, which is an object of learning, is greatly different from the structure of Japanese in terms of characters, word order, grammar, pronunciation, and the like.
These are points that make learning by Japanese learners difficult. It has been empirically said that learning English, etc., should be started from an early age, but with the recent development of cerebral physiology, “neural circuits for language in the cerebrum are completed in early childhood.” This theory has been welcomed by most of the Japanese who lost the opportunity to learn in their childhood. If it,
Is there a good way to overcome the structural difference between the two? If you look closely, you will notice that there is also a difference between horizontal writing and vertical writing in addition to the letters and word order. Since there is a horizontal writing method in Japanese, I overlook this point, but I notice that there is a big difference between vertical writing and horizontal writing in Japanese, not only the difference in shape. The former is
A traditional form that has been around for a long time, the latter is historically new. However, what is more important is that vertical writing resonates well with the cerebral neural circuits in terms of cerebral physiology. I have no knowledge of cerebral physiology, so I will explain it by an external method. To put it simply, in Japanese sentences, the words such as "read through" or "wet the paper with tears" apply to vertical sentences.
This also means that newspapers, magazines, whose mission is mass sales,
It is proved that all novels are sold in vertical writing. From this, there is a big difference between vertical writing and horizontal writing in Japanese, and it can be said that vertical writing is the basic form of Japanese writing. Horizontal writing is given the role of academic and thesis. Here, the distinction is made that English is written horizontally and Japanese is written vertically, and at the same time, there is a major problem to be overcome.

[0004] [Means for Solving the Problem] (a) An English sentence is decomposed and the words, symbols, and numbers used are displayed vertically without changing the word order according to the original grammar.

(B) At this time, in principle, words made up of many alphabets are cut at syllable breaks in order to shape them. Also, in principle, cut large numbers at the 3-digit scale.

(C) As a general rule, start the next line from the left side.

Create and use the English teaching materials displayed in the form that is closest to the vertical writing in Japanese as described above.

[0005] [Example] The learning method is as follows.

(B) Use in the same way as conventional English teaching materials.

(B) This vertical writing is also used for the division and writing.

(C) For vertical filling, use vertical writing.

(D) For Japanese or English translation, use the one written in parallel with the vertically written Japanese.

(E) Use vertical phonetic symbols for listening practice.

To be on the safe side, this is just a teaching material, so I will guide you externally in a clean copy and make a horizontal presentation.

[0006] [Effect of Invention] Since this teaching material is made in vertical writing, it eases the eyes of Japanese learners as if they were looking at familiar sentences. It's written vertically, but if you continue, it's normal English. When I showed this material to a native language teacher, it showed obvious discomfort. It's like the Japanese reading vertical text from bottom to top, or horizontal text from right to left. This is a direct effect of this teaching material. You can let native language teachers understand the handicap that Japanese learners carry. Note that the present invention is not limited to English, but can be applied to other foreign languages in horizontal writing in general.

These are points that make learning by Japanese learners difficult.

[Title of Invention] Learning material in which English words are arranged vertically

[Claims]

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a learning material in which English words are arranged vertically.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Although various things have been tried so far, in the end, many people demand only the efforts of learners,
In addition, there was no teaching material that modified the structure or writing style of the target English.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Up to now, the method of horizontally writing an English sentence, which is commonly used in English education in the United States and the United States, has been used as a teaching material as it is. It was 1. In the first place, the relationship between teachers and learners in language education is often misunderstood because there are many tape recorders and video teaching materials, so it is easy to misunderstand the relationship between the teacher and the audience, but originally mother and child, or tentatively. , For example, close to the relationship between the trainer and the horse. In that case, "what kind of horse" is the most interesting place for trainers who meet for the first time, so it is natural that I would like to touch on its characteristics if I have the opportunity.
Of course, what matters here is what kind of education the learners have received. Naturally, it is Japanese, but one of the characteristics is that there is a horizontal writing method in Japanese, but there is also the habit of writing sentences vertically. This is because there is no habit of writing sentences vertically in English even though the words or sentences may be written vertically for a special purpose. They know this habit of vertical writing as knowledge through translation or interpreting, but when they see Japanese text in vertical writing, they only glance at it as a product of a foreign culture. If there was this teaching material there, I would have experienced with a different mind the vertical writing that is a part of a different culture by reading it, but it was not there. This was both a trainer's misfortune and a teacher's misfortune. 2. Horizontal English sentences were completely out of shape to be written in parallel with vertical Japanese sentences, so I couldn't do well. The present invention seeks to overcome these drawbacks.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problem] An English sentence is decomposed and displayed vertically without changing the order of words, symbols, numbers, etc. used. This is because it does not impair the function of the original English text as a means of communication. Make vertical English sentences with the above structure and use them.

[0005]

[Effect] 1. This teaching material is structured so as not to impair the function of English sentences as a means of communication, so native language teachers can read it by instructing it to read vertically.
If you read it without being refused to read it, you can experience the vertical writing of text, which is one of the characteristics of Japanese culture, by yourself. This is a unique effect of this teaching material, and it is something that can never happen with the introduction of horizontal English sentences. 2. There is a horizontal writing method for Japanese sentences, but there is also a vertical writing method, and the vertical writing method is historically old, and the Japanese people's eyesight and emotions make the mass sale a life. The newspapers, magazines, and novel books are all proven to be filled with vertical text. Up to now, it can be said that vertical writing is the mainstream Japanese language. This teaching material can be written well in this Japanese vertical writing. As described above, the present invention solves the above drawbacks. Note that the present invention is not limited to English, but can be applied to other foreign languages in horizontal writing in general.
