Foreign language learning system and foreign language learning method {STUDY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE}

The present invention relates to a foreign language learning system and a foreign language learning method, and more particularly, provides various mock evaluation tests for an internationally recognized evaluation test of a foreign language consisting of speaking and writing, and answers each of the examinees who performed the mock evaluation. After grading by the scoring standard manual suitable for the evaluation test of students, shadowing is performed by each evaluation element for the part requiring additional learning according to each scoring criteria manual, and each item is compared with the pronunciation of native speaker who is the perfect standard. In addition to being able to learn, foreign languages have been developed to create virtual maps on the cyber and enable avatars to circulate these virtual maps to perform additional iterative learning of the items suggested in the simulation. It relates to a learning system and a foreign language learning method.

Recently, as the need for foreign languages, especially English, increases, various foreign language learning methods and learning devices have been proposed, and various internationally recognized evaluation tests of foreign languages for measuring the degree of foreign language learning have been proposed.

In addition, as the ability of speaking and writing of foreign languages is important, these internationally recognized evaluation tests for foreign languages are different from the conventional evaluation method of reading a foreign language sentence and simply selecting an answer. In addition, many companies and schools also require scores from internationally recognized assessment tests in foreign languages for speaking and writing.

These internationally recognized evaluation tests for foreign languages include the TOEIC Speaking and Writing Test, which is written by the US ETS and scored by the current English-speaking TOEIC Committee, which is a consignment agency in Korea. G-telp Speaking and Writing scored by the G-Telp Korea Committee, OPIC Speaking questions submitted by ACTIFL in the US, and commissioned and operated by Credu in Korea, and IBT TOEFL exams scored in the U.S. ETS and commissioned by the U.S. ETS Korea branch There is this.

In order to grade internationally recognized evaluation tests of foreign languages, especially speaking and writing, conducted by various institutions, grammar and vocabulary are directly observed while listening to the recordings and written sentences, which are the answers of the examinees who have been tested by the native speakers who scored. Scores are given by checking the pronunciation, intonation, and accent, and each evaluation institution establishes unique scoring criteria to ensure the objectivity of scoring divided by various native speakers, and to show the excellence of its evaluation test. As a result, it is common to perform scoring by granular assessment factors.

Although the various assessment tests to verify the speaking and writing ability of foreign languages are professionally made according to the detailed evaluation elements, so far, the learning to improve the speaking and writing ability of foreign languages is simply a sentence composed of foreign language. Listening and following, or practicing conversations with native speakers through courses such as academy and overseas training has not changed much.

However, the learning in the traditional academy is difficult to get out of the standard textbook and many students learn from one native speaker, there was a problem that it is difficult to focus on their ability and level, especially the lack.

In addition, in the case of language training, the learning effect is increased because the foreign language is acquired while living with a native speaker. However, as the length of stay in a foreign country becomes longer, the cost of staying is high, and learners who are not familiar with foreign languages are local in various environments. There was a problem that the learning effect was halved because many opportunities for direct contact with native speakers were not given.

In order to solve this problem, conventionally, local governments such as each city in Korea have established an English village where they can only live in English, and by placing native speakers who use English as their native language in these English villages, A learning program has been proposed that allows learners to meet native speakers and use English.

However, the existing English Village program has been running a deficit in terms of investment and operation, and it is difficult to actively use it, causing local tax and national budget waste. there was.

In addition, in the case of a conventional English village program, the main purpose was to experience daily life in a foreign country.
