Description

English learning method and system using touch screen {Method and Apparatus for English study using touch screen}

The present invention relates to a system for learning English, and more particularly, to learn a basic skeleton of sentences for learning English, as well as a touch screen that can distinguish the rules of sentence generation in English in order, and visually It relates to an English learning system and method used.

Generally, the English learning method learns a word or sentence by memorizing the whole sentence through numerous repetitive learning.

English learning methods like this take a lot of time and effort to memorize countless sentences. In addition, sentences learned in this way are not only very difficult to use at the time of loading when needed, but too much effort and time is needed only to learn the basic skeleton of the sentence. It's hard to be.

The simple sentence memorization formula requires a lot of time and energy to learn even if the sentence form is slightly different, it is not easy to use the sentence application, and it is also difficult to generate a sentence structure of a new pattern based on the existing memorized sentence.

In addition, it is not easy to repeat the listening learning (learning and listening to sentences), to listen to the various sentences by hearing and to play them as sentences. A sentence is not a word, a collection of word phrases, or a sequential set of units consisting of a semantic combination of words, but a simple arrangement of words.

That is, words form a sentence with place value and meaning according to the elements, sentence types, sentence components, and parts of speech within the sentence.

It takes a lot of time to arrange and process many words accepted through hearing according to sentence elements and components. Therefore, it is not easy to arrange the words spoken in a sentence meaningfully and immediately when needed.

In order to improve the difficulty of learning English, we try to learn English using a variety of tools. An English learning method using the English word learning edition is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0297950.

1 is a block diagram of an English word learning board according to the prior art, the English word learning board 10 is a starting block 11, a plurality of progress blocks 12, the destination block 13, and the analysis column 14 It is composed.

The operation according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6 as follows.

First, the present invention is arranged according to the English word sentence type, sentence component, using a TSP consisting of a plurality of touch blocks set the parts of speech by color, the learner who recognizes the English sentence to the sentence component and parts of the sentence In order for the English words to fit in order to select the corresponding touch block using a finger or a touch pen, the English sentence structure to learn the word order according to the sentence type, sentence components, parts of speech.

2 is a block diagram of an English learning system using a touch screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. First, a text, image, and voice are transmitted to the TSP 200 and the voice output unit 103 connected to the control device 110. Output

As shown in FIG. 3, the display window of the TSP 200 includes a menu window (learning level, game, pop song, environment setting, end, etc.) that can be selected by the learner, and before, after, and an initial screen of the corresponding display window. A selection button for selecting movement, a sentence display window 204, a display window indicating English learning progress, accuracy, and speed, and an environment display window 205 are displayed on one side of the TSP 200 at the center thereof. Display the touch block group 210 for learning English.

Here, the environment display window 205 displays the learner's selection of the current learner's identification code or name, the current learning level, the current learner's average speed, or the learner's learning process and results on the environment display window 205, or displays the environment. Allow change.

When the touch block corresponding to the type of the English sentence, the sentence component of each word, and the part-of-speech displayed on the sentence display window 204 is selected, each selected position blinks the position of the selected block on the screen of the TSP 200 so that the learner recognizes it. do.

On the other hand, when a learner inputs an English sentence by voice through the microphone 121 and selects a touch block, the voice recognition module 119 recognizes an English word and determines a corresponding sentence type, sentence component, and part-of-speech to accurately correct the touch block. The TSP 200 calculates the position of the control unit and determines whether the position of the touch block selected by the learner is matched to the learner through the TSP 200 to determine whether the selected block is correct.

In addition, the PC interface 115 allows the TSP 200 to be connected to the PC and used, thereby enabling English learning using various environments and contents provided by the PC. In particular, the learning method of directly inputting the English sentence on the touch block in the PC to increase the learning efficiency.

4 is an English learning window showing the first and second touch block groups 210, and displays the first touch block group 210 or displays the first and second touch block groups 220 according to the learning level. Will be displayed together. The first touch block group 220 is used to express an English sentence of a general short sentence, and the second touch block group 220 expresses a sentence connected to a dependent sentence such as a relative pronoun, a relational adjective, a conjunction or an adverb. .

In the display order of the touch block, first, when the type of sentence is a question, that is, when the question structure has a question structure, the question sentence 211 (question adverb, question adjective, question pronoun, etc.) In the case of a question, the simple interrogator 212 selects a verb or Be verb.

If the sentence component is a subject, the corresponding touch block of the subject unit 213 is selected. If the sentence component is a predicate, the corresponding touch block of the descriptor unit 214 is selected. If the sentence component is an indirect object, the indirect object unit 216 and the direct object are selected. Direct target fisherman 216, the bore bore 217, the mandatory ball phrase is a mandatory ball phrase 218, the background portion of the background selects the corresponding touch block of the background portion of the ball 219. In the case of a part-of-speech, a touch block corresponding to the part-of-speech of a word is selected.

Here, an essential adverb is an adverb that is indispensable in English sentences. For example, in case of "My house is in the hill", "in the hill" is an adverb that should not be absent in the sentence, and the background adverb is composed of a sentence even if it is deleted from the English sentence. As an adverb phrase with no stiffness, for example, in the case of "I met him in the hill," such an adverb phrase is called a background adverb because "in the hill" is a sentence composition even if it is not in this sentence.

It is an indication. Figure 5g is a diagram showing the entire English sentence sequentially on the electronic mat in accordance with the sentence type, sentence components, parts of speech.

6 is a flowchart of an English learning process using a touch block according to an embodiment of the present invention, which will be described in more detail with reference to the following.

First, when the learner selects the learning mode or the learning level, the learner displays the environment display window 205. If the learner selects a sentence output form, that is, a screen output to the TSP 200 or a voice output through the voice output unit 103 or a simultaneous screen / voice output.

The TSP driver 111 displays a touch block diagram for learning on the TSP 200 as the learning level and mode are selected (S112).

If the learner selects a learning level and selects an English sentence as the screen / voice simultaneous output mode, the microprocessor 114 accesses the English sentence corresponding to the learning level from the memory 116 and outputs a corresponding TSP driver ( 111).

According to the learner's learning level on the TSP 200 screen, the English sentence is displayed on the sentence display window 204 and the English sentence provided by the voice driver 113 is displayed on the TSP 200 by the driving signal of the TSP driver 111. The voice is outputted through (S114).

In this way, the learner recognizes the spoken English sentences, thereby identifying the sentence type, sentence component, and part-of-speech of each word.

On the other hand, when the Hangul sentence is confirmed through the TSP 200 and the voice output unit 103, the Hangul sentence is recognized by the learner by translating it into an English sentence.

A learner who recognizes each sentence type, sentence component, and part-of-speech of an English word finds a touch block that matches the sentence type, sentence component, and part-of-speech of the word in the TSP 200, and sequentially selects the sentence to complete the sentence.

As described above, when the learner selects the corresponding touch block of the TSP 200, when the selected touch block is detected by the touch screen detector 112 and transmitted to the microprocessor 114, the touch block selected by the control of the microprocessor 114 is transferred. The TSP 200 is displayed. (S120)

Furthermore, the corresponding English words are displayed on the touch block of the TSP 200.

On the other hand, the microprocessor 114 calculates (A) the sentence type, sentence component, and part-of-speech position corresponding to each word of the displayed English sentence, and calculates the position of the touch block selected by the learner (B). (S122) (S124)

The exact position data calculated by the microprocessor 114 is compared with the learner's selection block position (S126).

If the touch block selected by the learner is correct, the TSP 200 is displayed and then the touch block of the entire sentence selected by the learner is displayed on the TSP 200. (S132) (S134).

If the learner incorrectly selects the touch block, the TSP 200 displays a wrong indication so that the user selects another touch block. (S128) (S130).

The position of the selected touch block is recomputed and compared to display correct or incorrect on the TSP 200 display window. Repeat this process to help learners learn the English sentence structure.

If the learner selects the pop song mode, while listening to the pop song output through the voice output unit 103, the English sentence of the pop song is selected by the touch block of the TSP 200, thereby improving English learning efficiency.

Although the preferred embodiment according to the present invention has been described above, not only simple English sentences, but also learn English sentences using a variety of game content using the TSP, blocks according to various classifications of English word sentences, sentence components and parts of speech It is understood that those skilled in the art, such that the arrangement of the present invention can be variously configured, can implement various modifications and modifications without departing from the scope of the claims of the present invention.

As described above, the English learning method and system using the touch screen according to the present invention is configured by sequentially arranging each block of the TSP according to the sentence type, sentence components, expressing the color by parts of speech, the same part of speech Has the effect of visually distinguishing the rules of sentence creation in English by expressing them in the same color, so that the basic skeleton of sentences can be visually learned for learning English, so that the structure of sentences can be easily understood and applied. There is.
