How to Control Foreign Language Learning {FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING METHOD}

The present invention relates to a method for controlling foreign language learning, and more particularly, based on differences in thinking according to social, cultural, and historical backgrounds, to grasp fundamental differences between foreign languages and native languages, and to study the principles and structures of foreign languages. The present invention relates to a method for controlling foreign language learning.

In the age of globalization, the importance of foreign languages is increasing.

In particular, English is the most widely spoken language in the world. In most countries that do not speak English as their first language, they invest a lot of investment and effort in learning English, and the level of English learning is classified as an industry.

Recently, various systems for learning English have been prepared to support learning English using such a system.

Such a system is provided not only in an electronic dictionary for learning English words, phrases, sentences, etc., but also in portable terminals such as smart phones having multimedia functions.

Background art of the present invention is disclosed in Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0000581 (2009.01.08).

Conventional foreign language learning control method is performed to learn words, phrases, sentences, grammar, etc. of foreign languages, and to apply them in real life.

However, most of these foreign language learning control methods do not cover the whole language system with one large social, cultural, historical and ethnic character.

In particular, foreign languages consist of an entirely different system of knowledge than memorizing historical chronologies and physical formulas. Therefore, a learner can become proficient in a foreign language only by being exposed to the foreign language environment or its environment for a long time and continuously using the language. In reality, however, there is a lack of environment for exposure and use of foreign languages.

The present invention was devised to remedy this problem. The present invention is to create a variety of situations that are very familiar to learners and to first understand the situations and contexts in their native language, and then to think about differences in thinking due to differences in social, cultural and historical backgrounds of foreign countries. The purpose of this study is to provide a foreign language learning control method that enables students to express what they want to express by reinterpreting it on the basis of the foundation and to generate an appropriate foreign language based on it, thereby directly exposing them to the foreign language environment.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling foreign language learning, comprising: a content reproducing step of reproducing content produced in a native language of a learner; If a specific learning unit is selected in the content, thinking construction step of outputting the "interpreted language" and the corresponding explanation data reinterpreted the learning unit in a foreign language so that the learner can think like a foreigner; A semantic combination step of enumerating the "unit words" which separate the "interpreted words" into minimum units according to the learning purpose and combining the "unit words" according to the intention of the learner; And a morphological completion step of completing the result of the semantic combination according to a learner's instruction by completing or re-modifying the final expression into a final expression.

The form of the learning unit of the present invention is characterized in that any one or more of an image, text, sound, image.

In the present invention, the explanatory material for constructing a foreign language thinking is characterized by including a description of the difference in linguistic expression based on the difference of foreign social, cultural and historical thinking.

In the present invention, the description material of the interpreted language is characterized in that it includes at least one or more of the grammar, usage, vocabulary and background knowledge required to express the "interpreted language" in a foreign language.

The content of the present invention is characterized in that any one or more of an image, text, sound, video.

The combining step of the present invention is characterized by displaying a "language" composed of blanks for stepwise combination of the "unit word".

The combining step of the present invention is characterized by presenting text, image, sound, video, etc. to the learner for clear semantic selection.

In the semantic selection, a score for a semantic deviation is designated, a combination score according to a combination is calculated and calculated, and the score is determined according to the corresponding score.

The completion step of the present invention is characterized in that the learner can select a tense, form, sentence, vocabulary, expression, and the like.

The completion step of the present invention is characterized by being able to perform linguistic operations, such as addition, subtraction, for phrases, clauses, and statements.

The completion step of the present invention is characterized by using the direct input of the text by the learner and the automatic error checking thereof.

The present invention provides a learning activity that can appropriately express the understanding of various situations in a native language through reconstruction of thinking based on the social, cultural, and historical knowledge of the target foreign language. Through such activities, learners can restructure their knowledge of language into a new knowledge gained through the present invention to further solidify. This cognitive approach allows students to learn the structure and system of the target foreign language without learning grammar.

Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout this specification.

1 is a block diagram of a foreign language learning control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an apparatus for learning a foreign language according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an input unit 10, a learning control module 20, a display unit 30, and a database unit 40.

The foreign language learning control device may be employed in various devices such as a personal computer (PC), a tablet PC, and a smartphone.

The input unit 10 inputs various control commands for learning a foreign language. The input unit 10 may include a keyboard, a mouse, a touch pad, and the like, and may be used as a touch screen in association with the display unit 30.

The display unit 30 displays information necessary for learning a foreign language. The display unit 30 may employ various display devices such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), and an organic light emitting diode (OLED).

The database unit 40 stores information for learning a foreign language, and includes a content information database 41 and a learning information database 42.

The content information database unit 41 stores content information.

The content information is produced in various formats including at least one of an image, text, sound, and video.

The content information includes at least one learning unit, and is produced to easily understand meanings or situations included in the learning unit.

The form of the learning unit of the content information may be made of any one or more of an image, text, sound, and video.

For reference, in the present exemplary embodiment, a learning unit is represented by a sentence unit. However, the learning unit is not limited to being represented by a sentence and may include words, phrases, clauses, and the like as described above.

Meanwhile, the content information is produced in the learner's native language so that the learner can sufficiently grasp the situation and context in the native language and express it in a foreign language based on this. In this process, the learner can recognize the differences between the mother tongue and the foreign language, that is, the language differences based on the differences in thinking based on social, cultural and historical differences with the foreign language.

The learning information database 42 includes the "learning units" listed in the content information, the "interpretation" reinterpreted the "learning unit" as a foreign language, the foreign language and foreign language thinking corresponding to the "interpretation". Includes explanatory material and explanatory material needed to translate interpreted words into foreign languages.

'Building a Foreign Language Thinking' refers to converting a mental image formed in a learner's head into a foreign language image while understanding or grasping each situation through a native language. Figure 2 shows the difference between the Korean image and the English image for the left picture. In Korean, an umbrella, like a hat, is used as “wear”. There seems to be a big difference between wearing a hat and using an umbrella, but in Koreans' heads, they have an image of wearing an umbrella over their head (Fig. 2 (B)). So, Koreans choose the verb wear by using the umbrella 'to wear'. However, the English-style image is more suitable for the image with a person under the umbrella as shown in Figure 2 (C). Thus, in English, "She is under the umbrella." Or "She holds the umbrella." Different representations of the same situation result in different expressions.

In the example above, there is no word or grammatical element that a person who has studied English to some extent will not understand. However, given the situation in which this expression is to be used, Koreans will say “She wears the umbrella.” Foreigners will feel awkward about it. If you show a Korean learner an English-language image of this situation and ask her to express “She's under an umbrella” in English, you'll be able to speak proper English without any difficulty.

The Learning Unit is a description of the difference in image through text, image, sound, video, etc., a description of the social, cultural, and historical background, and the phrase “she is under an umbrella.” And it is a bundle of unit words that separates this "interpretation" into specific units according to the learning purpose.

When the content reproduction command is input through the input unit 10, the learning control module 20 reads the content information database 41 and reproduces the content. Then, when the "learning unit" is selected from the content through the input unit 10, the base unit 42 brings the bundle corresponding to the "learning unit" to the learning information data.

Next, the language frame is formed, and the unit words constituting the interpreted language are output so that learners can drag the appropriate unit words step by step and place them on the language frame. The unit word on the language frame is made up of semantic combinations sequentially through the original properties.

For reference, `` language frame '' is an empty box with a sentence structure tag such as S (main), V (verb), or O (object) for the combination of `` unit words ''. If you drag and place it on top of it, the combination is made and the next language 'Language' appears again and repeats until the combination of the whole sentence is completed.

The unit word, which can be dragged onto the language framework, is not limited to one but can be completed through various combination stages depending on the intention of the learner. This is because the mutual suitability coefficient between 『unit language』 and 『language』 was calculated in advance so that each 『unit word』 was dragged over the 『language』 and combined to calculate and calculate a score for the appropriateness of the combination. If the proper combination score is not reached, no more combinations are made or the combination starts again from the beginning.

Through this series of activities, the learner learns the principles of the target language and learns its adequacy as a young child learns his or her native language.

Hereinafter, the foreign language learning control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 13.

For reference, in the present embodiment has been given an example of learning English through Hangul, the principle is equally applicable to all languages.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a foreign language learning control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a learning unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate the present invention. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an "interpreted language" and description material for constructing a foreign language thinking according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a view illustrating an example of "unit word" according to an embodiment of the present invention. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process of combining "unit words" according to an embodiment of the present invention.

9 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the meaning of the word “routine” is selected through an image in the meaning combining step, and FIG. 10 is a diagram for selecting a video that is imaged to “hectic” in the meaning combining step. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of showing a combination score calculated when a combination is completed. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of completing a foreign language expression by a text input method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a foreign language learning control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, when a content reproduction command is input (S10), the learning control module 20 reads and reproduces content (S20).

Accordingly, the content is displayed, and at this time, it is checked whether the learning unit 101 is selected through the input unit 10 (S30).

As illustrated in FIG. 4, when the learning unit 101 is selected, the learning control module 20 selects “interpreted words” 102 corresponding to the corresponding learning unit 101 as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. ) And display explanation material 103 for constructing a foreign language-type accident (S40).

In this case, the learner can understand the linguistic differences based on the differences of thinking between the mother language and the foreign language, that is, the differences in the image, through the explanatory material for constructing the foreign language thinking.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the learning control module 20 outputs "unit words" 104 corresponding to the interpreted word 102 (S50).

In this case, when the combination command is input by checking whether the combination command is input (S60), as shown in FIG. 8, the "language" 105 appears and outputs a description necessary for the combination of the current step (S70). The unit word 104 can be dragged.

In this case, the adequacy of the combination is calculated (S80), and if the expression corresponding to the unit word is not properly combined, it is returned to the original position (S90) and it is checked whether the combination instruction is input again.

This process is repeated until the whole sentence is properly combined. In this process, each "unit word" is written in a text format, and can be combined with each other by being switched to a native language and a foreign language according to a touch signal, and can also be output by voice. In addition, it may be displayed and combined in the form of an image, a video, or a sound as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

On the other hand, if the "unit words" are properly combined, as shown in Figure 8 may be completed (S100). As the combination is made, score calculation for the appropriateness of the combination proceeds, and as shown in FIG. 11, a simple output of these scores or various forms of feedback based on these scores are also possible.

As illustrated in FIG. 12, a learner may directly input text to complete a foreign language representation of an interpreted language. As shown in FIG. 13, the completion by direct input is made up of not only spelling, grammar, usage check, but also semantic check on the sentence inputted by the learner (I know someone who speaks English well). someone who speaks Korean very well. 'and the system provided feedback "You should write' I speak good '.) Helps learners complete the expression To receive.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, I will understand. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the following claims.
