Description

A multi-level English learning book in one book {THE MULIPLE LEVEL ENGLISH READING BOOK}

The present invention relates to book editing and production technology, and particularly to English learning books.

Various textbooks for learning English are known. Among them, various original books written in English are read for the purpose of reading learning. However, the level of difficulty in terms of vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and meaning varies from person to person. Therefore, the level of readers of the book is differentiated. The level of difficulty of the English used in books varies from book to book, so readers vary depending on the level of difficulty. Since the level of the book cannot be changed, readers will change depending on their level of knowledge of English. As a result, many books were classified as books that readers with low English levels, such as children or students in secondary education, could not read.

Nevertheless, regardless of the level of English, there are cases where the knowledge, wisdom, and value the book contains is exceptional. For example, in the case of literary classics that have been passed down for generations, bestseller content widely known to readers, or humanities books that present wisdom for life, publishers will try their best to get readers to read the books. do. In general, books or commentaries are produced by arbitrarily re-editing the original content for readers with low English levels. As a result, even though it was the same book, books were produced separately for children, lower grades, middle and high school students, and adults.

This reality has several problems. First of all, as your English level improves, there will be an uneconomical hassle of having to purchase books with the same original text multiple times. However, the bigger problem was that when I read an easily summarized English learning book, I felt like I had read the entire book and rarely read the original book unless I had a special opportunity. Because the reader becomes satisfied with a low level, this is not at all desirable from the perspective of reading, nor from the perspective of improving English learning skills.

The inventor of the present invention completed the present invention after a long period of research and experimentation to solve the above problems.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-level English learning book produced as a single file. The more you study, the more your English level improves. The present invention seeks to provide a book with new concepts and structures to learn while conquering the levels upward. This provides a new user experience where you can realistically experience the process of improving English learning skills. In addition, we would like to propose a reading book that includes the original content, the original text, but is composed of several independent parts by dividing the complexity and difficulty of English sentences into multiple levels.

Meanwhile, other unspecified purposes of the present invention will be additionally considered within the scope that can be easily inferred from the detailed description and effects below.

In order to achieve the above task, the first aspect of the present invention is a multi-level English learning book:

A cover section that specifically displays the original book,

An inner page located inside the cover, where the original English text data of the original book is sequentially printed, and located in front of the original English inner page, and having the same authorship as the original English inner page. At least one lower-level English inner section printed with the level of vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, or meaning lowered than the original English text of the original English inner portion, and a level guide section explaining the level applied to the lower level English inner portion. It is characterized in that it is bound in paperback or hardcover, and is assigned one ISBN.

Additionally, the second aspect of the present invention is a multi-level English learning book:

A cover element that includes a title and an image to identify and display the original book,

A page element arranged after the cover element, which includes original English content consisting of English text data of the original book, and is located in front of the original English content, has author identity with the original English content, and contains the original English content. At least one lower-level English content written with the level of vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, or meaning lowered than that of the original English text, and an element including a level guide section explaining the level applied to the low-level English content, It is characterized by being produced as an e-book file.

Additionally, a third aspect of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a multi-level English learning book:

The editor terminal is provided with original English content consisting of the original English text data of the original book, and at least one written with the level of vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, or meaning lowered than the original English text of the original English content while having the same authorship as the original English content. Creating and transmitting to a designer terminal an element work including one or more low-level English content and a level guide section explaining the level applied to the low-level English content;

The designer terminal receives the within-element work and generates a cover element that specifies and displays an original book including a title and an image, and among the within-element works, the level guide unit, the low-level English content, and the original English text. creating a design file by designing the element works by arranging them in content order; and

Characterized in that it includes the step of printing and binding the design file with the ISBN displayed through a printing and binding process at the printing office terminal.

Just like climbing stairs to a high place step by step, the multi-level English learning book of the present invention allows readers to level up with one book and read it multiple times, so that not only can they learn English according to their level, but also improve it. Jumping has the advantage of stimulating Sims.

Meanwhile, it is to be added that even if the effects are not explicitly mentioned herein, the effects described in the following specification and their potential effects expected from the technical features of the present invention are treated as if described in the specification of the present invention.

※ The attached drawings are intended as reference for understanding the technical idea of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, we will look at the configuration of the present invention guided by various embodiments of the present invention and the effects resulting from the configuration. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that related known functions may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention as they are obvious to those skilled in the art, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Figure 1 schematically shows the system configuration according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. An editor terminal (10), a designer terminal (20), and a print shop terminal (30) participate.

The editor terminal 10, which is a computer device, creates and edits English content using a document writer 11 such as MS OFFICE ^TM software. In the present invention, English content is produced for each level using a predefined English level guide 13. Preferably, English content for each level is produced and stored as a single electronic file. In some embodiments, each level may be a separate electronic file, that is, a plurality of electronic files. In this case, the designer terminal 20 below is produced and stored as a single electronic file through design work.

The designer terminal 20 uses a design tool 21 such as Adobe InDesign ^TM software to work the English content for each level received from the editor terminal 10 into elements, and separately creates a cover containing a title and an image. You can work with elements. In some preferred embodiments, there may be multiple designer terminals 20. For example, one designer terminal may work on design elements to create a design file for the cover element work, and another designer terminal may work on design elements for a cover element to separately generate a design file for the cover element.

The above design file is delivered to the print shop terminal 30. The printing shop terminal 30, which is a computer device, prints the inside page elements and cover elements respectively through the printer 31, and combines the inside page elements and cover elements through the bookbinding machine 33. Preferably, wireless binding or hardcover binding is used. In this way, a multi-level English learning book is created.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a multi-level English learning book can be produced as an e-book. In this case, the design file is converted to e-book format and transmitted to the e-book platform server (not shown).

Figure 2 schematically shows the configuration of the English level guide module 130 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The English level guide module 130 provides rules for generating at least one level of content excluding the original content when producing the multi-level English learning book of the present invention. Preferably, a vocabulary level classifier 131, a grammar level classifier 133, a sentence structure level classifier 135, and a semantic level classifier 137 may be included.

The vocabulary level classifier 131 classifies English units included in the original English content into different levels according to difficulty. Through the vocabulary level classifier 131, an English dictionary for each level of the original English content can be created in advance as a table.

The grammar level classifier 133 classifies grammar such as tense, part of speech, and clause into different levels according to difficulty.

The sentence structure level classifier 135 classifies the sentence structure, such as sentence format, syntax, and line breaks, into different levels depending on the level of difficulty.

The semantic level classifier 137 classifies the meaning of the original English content into different levels depending on the level of difficulty. In particular, this module can be used when deciding what meaning to include at each level in original English content. In general, the lower the level, the lower the semantic level (containing fewer sentences from the original English content), and the higher the level, the higher the semantic level (closer to the sentences of the original English content).

The editor terminal uses the English level guide module 130 as described above to create English content 110 for each level in independent areas for each level.

Figure 3 conceptually shows how English content 110 for each level is created into text by allocating independent areas for each level according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The example shows the original English text (119) and three levels of English text (111, 112, and 113). These texts have the same authorship. 'Identity of work' refers to semantic identity to the extent that the same title and the same author can be assigned despite language expressions due to differences in English level.

English content by level (110) is one book. If it is a paper book, it is one book with the cover and inner pages bound in plain or hardcover and given one ISBN. If it is an e-book, it is a single e-book file containing a cover element and an inside page element.

Preferably, the original English text 119 and the three level English texts 111, 112, and 113 each have independent areas. Preferably, low-level English text is placed at the beginning, and as the number of pages increases, higher-level text is placed. That is, the level 1 English text 111, the level 2 English text 112, and the level 3 English text 113 follow in that order. More preferably, a level guide section explaining the level applied to the level 1 English text 111 is included in front of the level 1 English text 111. The level guide unit may be located before the table of contents, or may be located behind the table of contents.

Lastly, the original English text (119) is located. Ultimately, readers have the advantage of being able to improve their English reading skills by reading the same text four times.

Let's look at Figures 4 and 5. One book 100 is composed of a cover portion 101 and an inner portion 109, wherein the inner portion 109 is sequentially composed of the level 1 English text 111, the first level English inner portion 111a, and the inner portion 109. The level 2 English text 112 constitutes the second level English inner portion 112a, the level 3 English text 113 constitutes the third level English inner portion 113a, and the original English text 119 constitutes the original English inner portion 112a. It constitutes a branch (119a).

The cover portion 101 includes a title area 101a and an image area 101b. In the title area 101a, a title that specifies the original book is displayed. Image elements of the cover design are displayed in the image area 101b.

In this way, in one embodiment of the multi-level English learning book 100 of the present invention, it is bound as one book, so it has one spine and one spine. In addition, the inner page 109, which is composed of multiple pages, is composed of each independent lower-level English inner page. Preferably, the internal section of the lowest English level is located first, followed by the internal section of the next lowest English level. The English language section of each level is physically separated.

That is, the reading book of the present invention is structured so that texts written at different English levels belong to different physical areas. As described above, the English level is predetermined by vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, meaning, etc. In some embodiments, grammar rules may include not only parts of speech but also syntactic elements, morphology elements, and semantic elements.

In addition, content can be organized sequentially in the order of gradually increasing English level from the area corresponding to the lowest level of English. One physically distinct internal section becomes one independent text (content). Therefore, one inner book can be produced as one book. However, in the present invention, since one ISBN is registered and assigned with these inner pages structured sequentially, multiple books are produced as one book, but these multiple books have the same authorship as one original book. If, in one embodiment of the present invention, five internal parts are configured, when the reader sequentially reads the book of the present invention, the reader can read the book five times at different English levels. Additionally, there is an advantage in that readers with low English levels can read the original book again as their English level improves. This naturally allows customization to the user's level and promotes the formation of a close relationship between the flavor of reading and the improvement of English reading skills.

For example, let’s say there is a work called “The Little Prince” that has been translated into English. Some texts of the first level English internal section, which corresponds to the lowest English level, are shown in Table 1 below. (Figures are omitted. The same applies hereinafter.)

I see a big snake in a book. The snake eats an animal.

After eating an animal, this snake does not need to eat for six months.

I draw that big snake. This is my drawing No. One

But, the man says, “This is a drawing of a hat.”

My drawing is not of a hat. So, I draw an elephant inside that snake. This is my drawing No. 2.

The man says to me. “Stop painting; just do other things.” So, I give up being a painter.

Now I am a pilot. I can fly to many cities in the world.

Compared to the original English content located in the original English section, the vocabulary level is low, the meaning level is low because the sentences are summarized, the grammar level is low because the present tense is used, and the sentence structure level is low. When the first level English internal section is completed at the same level as Table 1, the second level English internal section with an improved language level continues. In this embodiment, content was produced with the tense changed to the past. Some of the contents of the level 2 English internal section that correspond to Table 1 are shown in Table 2.

I saw a big snake in a book. The snake ate an animal.

After eating an animal, this snake does not need to eat for six months.

I drew that big snake. This is my drawing No. One

But, the man said, “This is a drawing of a hat.”

My drawing was not of a hat. So, I drew an elephant inside that snake. This is my drawing No. 2.

The man said to me. “Stop painting; just do other things.” So, I gave up being a painter.

Now I am a pilot. I flew to many cities in the world.

When the second level English internal section in Table 2 is completed, the third level English internal section continues with an improved language level again. Some of them are shown in Table 3.

When I was six years old, I saw an excellent picture in a book. It was a picture of a snake eating an animal. The book said:
“These snakes do not bite when they eat animals. After, this snake does not need to eat for six months.”

I loved that book. So, I read the book deeply. I drew a picture with a pencil. This is my first drawing: The big snake that ate a big elephant.

I showed my drawing to the grown-ups. And I asked them, “Is this scary?”
They said, “This is a hat. The hat is not scary.”

My drawing was not of a hat. My drawing was of the big snake after eating an elephant. But they didn't understand. So, I drew another picture to show the elephant inside the snake. This was my drawing No. 2.They could understand drawing No. 2.

But they said to me, “Stop painting; just do other things. History or geography is good for you.”

I felt unhappy about my drawing No. 1 and No. 2. So, I gave up being a painter at the age of six. It is hard for children to explain everything to the grown-ups.

Finally, I am a pilot. I have flown to many cities in the world. And it is true that geography is very useful to me. I now know where China and Arizona are on the map. I met many great people. I got to know those people closely. But my opinion didn't change.

When the 3rd level English internal section in Table 3 is completed, the 4th level English internal section continues with an improved language level again. Vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and meaning have all been leveled up. Some of them are shown in Table 4.

Once when I was six years old, I saw a fantastic picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature , about the jungle forest. It was a picture of a boa snake in the act of eating an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing.

In the book, it said: “Boa snakes eat animals without biting it. After that, they cannot move, and will sleep for six months until the next hunt.”

I fell into that book: The Adventures of the Jungle. And after some work with a pencil, I succeed in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:

I showed my drawing to the grown-ups. “Does this drawing scare you?” I asked them. But they answered: "Scared? Why should anyone be scared by a hat?"

My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa snake, keeping an elephant in its body. But the grown-ups were not able to understand it. So, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the boa snake. Now the grown-ups were able to understand it clearly. They always need an explanation. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:

The grown-ups advised me this time. "Stop drawing boa snakes. Instead, focus on geography, history, and grammar." That is why gave up being a painter at six years old. I had been disappointed by the failure of drawing No. 1 and No. 2. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves. And it's tiring for children to explain everything to grown-ups.

So, I chose another job. I learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown to all parts of the world. And it is true that geography has been very useful to me. Very quickly, I can distinguish China from Arizona. If I get lost at night, such knowledge is useful. During this lifetime, I have met many people who have been concerned about important matters. I have seen them closely. And that didn't much change my opinion of them.

Next, the original English content continues with the original English content. The original text is shown in Table 5.

Once when I was six years old, I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature , about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing.
In the book, it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion."
I fell into that book: The Adventures of the Jungle. And after some work with a pencil, I succeed in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:

I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked something like this:

I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.
But they answered: “Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:
The grown-up's response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them.

Through the above embodiment, the reader reads the level guide section, the first level English section, the second level English section, the third level English section, the fourth level English section, and the original English section in that order. . Readers can not only study at five levels, but also read <The Little Prince> five times.

The book of the present invention may further include a table of contents, a book introduction, an index, and a copyright notice.

Figure 6 shows a schematic process of a method for producing a multi-level English learning book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

First, the original English content is analyzed (S100). Preferably, an English level guide module is created while analyzing vocabulary, sentences, structure, and meaning through a computer terminal. In one preferred embodiment, the English level guide module can be created using office software, more preferably Excel software.

Next, the original English content is leveled using the English level guide module, and at least one lower level English content is produced (S110).

Through the S110 process, the editor's terminal lowers the level of vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, or meaning of the original English content compared to the original English text while maintaining the original English content, which is composed of the original English text data of the original book, and the original English content and authorship. You can produce at least one low-level English content written in English.

In addition, you can create an internal element work that includes a level guide explaining the level applied to low-level English content, a table of contents, and other copyright notices (S120). Preferably, it can be authored as a single file, but it is okay to produce it as multiple files.

Next, the editor terminal transmits the element work to the designer terminal. The designer terminal receives the inner work of the inner element and creates a cover element that includes the title and image to specify and display the original book, and also arranges the inner work of the inner element in the following order: level guide section, low-level English content, and original English content. You can create one design file by designing the element work (S130). Additionally, two design files may be generated by separating the cover element file and the inside element work file.

The issued ISBN is displayed on the completed design file. The design file is then sent to the print shop terminal. The printing shop terminal produces the multi-level English learning book of the present invention through a printing and binding process (S140).

The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the description and expression of the embodiments explicitly described above. In addition, it is to be added once again that the scope of protection of the present invention may not be limited due to changes or substitutions that are obvious in the technical field to which the present invention pertains.
