Method of Providing Service For Learning Foreign Language}

The present invention relates to a method for providing a foreign language learning service, and more particularly, to a method for providing a service for learning a foreign language more efficiently through an information communication device or a dedicated learner.

Choosing the two most important things in learning a foreign language can include words and word order.

The importance of words in foreign language learning cannot be overemphasized. This is because language basically consists of units of words.

Words, which can be regarded as the smallest unit of expression, consist of an array of individual words with their own meaning, so words are the core and basic of foreign language learning.

Secondly, the word order is the order in which the words containing each meaning are arranged. In the correct order, the correct communication is possible, and the order of the words is reversed, which may be the opposite meaning. .

No matter how good your knowledge of words is, it does not make sense to arrange words you know when speaking or writing. In particular, despite abundant knowledge of English words, Korean people often have difficulty in speaking or writing. This is largely due to the difference in English word order.

The solution is to teach grammars that deal with sentence forms, and many of them are not really helpful for speaking or writing English. This is because grammar is treated as an examination knowledge in the field of education and is not effectively involved in solving different word order problems. In word order learning, systematic word order training based on major sentence forms is more important than word order knowledge based on grammatical knowledge.

For example, in Korean Patent Registration No. 330552 related to word learning, a word of a learner is exposed by exposing a foreign language word to a learner after exposing a word of a native language to the learner and giving a certain time to think of a corresponding foreign language word. Memorization is to be done efficiently.

However, in correct word learning, it is effective to include not only the meaning of words of individual words, but also the chunks and colocation information of the words. The prior art is to memorize only words and their meanings. There was a problem with learning that was not efficient.

Here, chunk means chunk of words consisting of one or more words. When we speak a sentence, we think in our heads all at once, not at once, but in the appropriate semantic units (phrases) to think and break.

For example, in the head of a person who wants to say, "I was asleep while reading a book in class today," I read "today // at school // while reading a book // while I was dozing //" Likewise, sentences are separated and thought, and separated.

In this sense, chunks can also be thought of as units of thought or breathing when speaking, and are very important units in language learning, including collocation information about words used together.

Colocation is a combination of words that are often used together to indicate a particular meaning within a language. For example, in the case of "suicide," the correct English expression for "suicide" is "commit suicide." to be. In other words, the expression "suicide" is used with the verb "commit" rather than "do" or "take / get". In this case, commit and suicide are in a colocation relationship. can see.

The present invention provides a foreign language learning service method that can naturally solve the difficulties in words and word order that have difficulty in learning a foreign language through words / chunks through listening / speaking training on sentences. The purpose of this is to enhance the overall vocabulary of the learner so that they can develop reading / writing / speaking / listening skills.

In addition, the foreign language learning service to automatically create and provide a problem to check the memorized words, it is another object to automatically generate a vocabulary for online or offline learning in a variety of forms.

The present invention provides a first language word, a voice file name of the first language word, a first language chunk using the first language word, a voice file name of the first language chunk, and a first language using the first language word. A sentence, a name of a voice file of the first language sentence, a second language word indicating the meaning of the first language word, a second language phrase indicating the meaning of the first language chunk, and a second meaning of the first language sentence A database comprising language sentences;

In the method for providing a foreign language learning service using the voice files specified by the voice file name in the database,

A first step of selecting on the screen first language words to learn;

A second language word corresponding to the selected first language word is displayed on the screen, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the selected first language word is repeatedly displayed on the screen a predetermined number of times, and simultaneously the voice file name of the first language word is displayed. A second step of repeatedly playing the voice file of the designated first language word a predetermined number of times;

Displaying a second language phrase corresponding to the selected first language word on the screen, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, repeatedly displaying the first language chunk corresponding to the selected first language word on the screen a predetermined number of times; Step 2-2 of repeatedly playing the voice file of the first language chunk designated according to the voice file name of the first language chunk a predetermined number of times;

Displaying a second language sentence corresponding to the selected first language word on the screen, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, repeatedly displaying the first language sentence corresponding to the selected first language word on the screen a predetermined number of times; A second to third steps of repeatedly playing the voice file of the first language sentence specified according to the voice file name of the first language sentence a predetermined number of times;

Steps 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 are sequentially repeated according to the number of first language words selected in the first step.

An identification tag not displayed on the screen is added before or after the first language word or the first language chunk to identify the first language word or the first language chunk included in the first language sentence,

In order to generate a problem of matching a word or chunk to be inserted into a sentence, the identification tag generates a question by blanking a first language word or first language chunk of a first language sentence, and generating the question in the database. Select remaining first language words or first language chunks except the first language word or first language chunk specified by the tag and make a choice with the first language word or first language chunk specified by the identification tag. It is also preferable to further include the step of automatically generating a problem.

The first language words selected in the first step may be output in a wordbook form together with some of the elements of the corresponding database.

According to the present invention, by memorizing not only words but also sentences through chunks, the overall vocabulary can be strengthened, and the word order can be naturally trained to improve reading / writing / speaking / listening ability.

In addition, it is possible to automatically generate a problem to check the memorized words in the foreign language learning service, so there is no need to operate a separate question bank database, and to create a vocabulary book for online or offline learning in various forms. Can help with lectures and reviews

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, in the description of the present embodiment, the first language will be described in English and the second language in Korean, but the first language / second language is not limited to the English / national language as in the present embodiment.

Figure 1 shows the structure of the database of the present embodiment, the English word, the voice file name of the English word, the English chunk using the English word, the voice file name of the English chunk, the English sentence using the English word, the English sentence It includes a voice file name, a Korean word indicating the meaning of the English word, a Korean phrase indicating the meaning of the English chunk, and a Korean sentence indicating the meaning of the English sentence. In addition, the database according to the present embodiment includes information on the pronunciation code / part of speech / synonym / derived language / source / antonym of the English word as well as the level of the word level (elementary, secondary, higher, SAT, TOEIC, TOEFL, difficulty). And more. The database of FIG. 1 includes only six English words, and there are more English words in the actual database.

In addition, in order to use the method for learning a foreign language of the present invention, it is a matter of course that a voice file corresponding to a voice file name of each English word / chunk / sentence in the database must be separately provided.

In order to provide a learning service, a learner first selects a word to learn by displaying a word to learn in a learner. (First step)

The learner to be used by the learner can be either an information communication device such as a computer, a mobile phone, a PDA, or a dedicated learner that can receive the instruction or selection of the learner by any input means.

In addition, in order to implement the foreign language learning service method of the present embodiment, the database and the voice files are stored in the server and made to transmit and receive necessary information through the learner provided by the learner, or the database and the voice file are stored in the user's learner. By having a storage means to be able to be made without a connection to a separate server.

In addition, in order to perform the first step and the following steps 2-1 2-2 and 2-3, it may be implemented through a web browser of a learner or a dedicated program.

Selecting an English word to be learned in the first step may use a method in which the selected word is displayed in bold or another color (FIG. 2), or may use a well-known checkbox or the like. In addition, it is possible to first select the level of learning divided into elementary, secondary, high school, SAT, TOEIC, etc., and then select English words to be studied later. In addition, the screen for selecting a word as shown in FIG. 2 may include a plurality of pages.

When the English words to be learned are selected in the first step, the selected English words are sequentially learned. The English words selected in FIG. 2 are abroad, concentrate, suicide, absolutely, effort.

First, a Korean word (foreign, abroad) indicating the meaning of the selected English word (abroad) is displayed on the screen of the learner. (FIG. 3) After displaying the Korean word (foreign, abroad) on the screen. After a certain time, the selected English word (abroad) is displayed on the screen. At this time, the selected English word is repeatedly displayed at the same position on the screen, and at this time, the voice file of the English word is also played simultaneously. (FIG. 4) The number of repetitive display / playback may be separately designated. (Step 2-1)

When the step 2-1 is completed, a Korean phrase (going abroad) containing the meaning of the English chunk (go abroad) including the selected English word (abroad) is displayed on the screen of the learner (FIG. 5). In the exemplary embodiment, the Korean phrase is displayed at the bottom of the Korean word and the English word displayed through the step 2-1. After clearing the screen, only the Korean phrase may be displayed again. After displaying a Korean phrase (going abroad) on the screen, if a certain time elapses, the English chunk (go abroad) corresponding to the selected English word is repeatedly displayed on the screen, and the audio file of the corresponding English chunk is repeatedly played. (Fig. 6) (Step 2-2)

After the end of step 2-2, the Korean sentence (John often goes on a business trip abroad) containing the meaning of the English sentence (John often goes abroad on business.) Including the selected English word is displayed. In the embodiment, the display is displayed together with the contents displayed in steps 2-1 and 2-2, but it is also possible to display the Korean sentence after clearing the screen. After displaying a Korean sentence (John frequently goes on a business trip), if a certain time elapses, the English sentence (John often goes abroad on business.) Including the selected English word is repeatedly displayed on the screen. The file is also repeatedly played. (Fig. 8) (Step 2-3)

Thereafter, steps 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 are repeated for the English words selected in the first step.

By the foreign language learning service method of the present invention as described above, learners can learn not only memorizing words but also chunks and sentences, thereby enhancing their overall vocabulary, thereby improving their reading / writing / speaking ability. .

In addition, the foreign language learning service method may be operated in a form that automatically generates a problem that can be tested for the English words or chunks learned by the learner.

It is possible to automatically generate a problem by adding an identification tag before and after the English word or chunk in the English sentence to identify the English word or chunk selected by the learner in the English sentence (see FIG. 1). Tags are marked with <word> if they appear before a word, or </ word> if they appear after a word. In addition, <chunk></chunk> is used as the identification tag for the chunk.

Even if the identification tag is included in the English sentence, it is not displayed on the screen as in the above 2-3 steps, and when generating a problem for guessing a word or chunk to be inserted in the sentence, the English word or chunk is generated. Do not display on the screen by the identification tag.

Selects English words or chunks other than the English words or chunks designated by the identification tag among the English words or chunks of the database in random or identical parts of speech, and selects items together with the words or chunks specified by the identification tag. By doing so, it is possible to automatically generate a problem.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the English sentence stored in the database John often <chunk> goes <word> abroad </ word></chunk> on business. The tag is not printed on the screen, and only the foreign word between the words <tag> and </ word> of the word is displayed as a blank and automatically forms a question. To make the word appear.

If the learner chooses the correct answer or the wrong answer, it is marked as correct or incorrect. Of course, the learner can move to the next question or select the answer again. Since the scoring function can be easily and variously implemented by a technician who develops a system for foreign language learning service, his detailed description will be omitted.

In addition, by using the database used in the present invention, it is possible to output various types of wordbooks. That is, for the English words selected in the first step, it may be possible to output a word list together with some of the elements constituting the corresponding database (for example, pronunciation symbols, parts of speech, derivatives, English sentences and Korean sentences). .

In this embodiment, it is possible to provide and output two types of wordbooks as shown in FIG.

However, it may be possible for the learner to select only the necessary parts and output the wordbook. To this end, an item of a database to be output may be selected, and a separate function unit or a program may be enabled by a user to designate a location, a font size / type, etc. of the item to be output. The output may be through a screen or a printing machine.
