The technical field to which the utility model belongs.

The utility model relates to teaching a foreign language, namely, electronic devices for generating tests for knowledge of a foreign language, including a server adapted to connect, through an integrated network, client devices of trained users that have a display and data input means containing a database tasks for translation from the mother tongue into a foreign language, connected to a data processing unit and can be used for distance learning a foreign language ku.

The level of technology.

It is known from the prior art that an electronic device for generating tests for knowledge of a foreign language, including a server adapted for connecting trained users through a network with client devices that have a display and data input means, contains a database of tasks for translating from a native language into foreign connected to the data processing unit (see patent for invention No. 2479867, published in 2012.)

This device is the closest in technical essence to the claimed utility model and is taken as a prototype for the proposed utility model.

The disadvantage of this device is that it does not have many options for the correct answers. All tests are laid down in it in advance, and then they are compared with the answer options, and they cannot recognize another possible answer, which reduces the efficiency of test generation and, as a result, the effectiveness of user training.

Disclosure of a utility model.

Based on this original observation, a real useful model mainly aims to offer an electronic device for generating tests for knowledge of a foreign language, which allows at least

to smooth out at least one of the above disadvantages, namely, to increase the usability of the device while expanding the ability to generate tests due to the possibility of generating tests for knowledge of a foreign language with many options for correct answers, the database of which is adapted to replenish as a result of using the device.

To achieve this goal, the server additionally contains a database of correct answers from the teacher. Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to automate the process of checking the correctness of the user's translation by comparing his version of the translation with the version verified by the teacher. To achieve the above goals, the server also additionally contains a database of correct answers from other users. Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to train the user's ability to provide alternative translation options. Indeed, often translation into a foreign language can be done in several different ways. One of them can be considered correct, and the rest are valid. To achieve the above goal, the data processing unit further comprises a comparison unit for user inputted data connected to the database of the correct answers of the teacher and the database of the correct answers of other users. Thanks to such an advantageous feature, it becomes possible to automate the process of comparing a user's answer option with all answer options - correct and valid. To achieve the above goal, the server also additionally contains a control unit connected to all the server’s databases, adapted to connect with the teacher’s client device in such a way as to send him an option of a user response that is not contained in the indicated databases and receive a signal from him, corresponding to one of the parameters: the answer is correct, the answer is incorrect with the comment of the error and the answer is spam.

Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to automatically improve the utility model, that is, when a new version of a translation into a foreign language appears that could potentially be acceptable, automatically check it with the teacher and automatically enter the correct answers of other users into the database.

Additionally, it becomes possible to filter out spam - that is, answers that do not correspond to the question.

This is what allows us to achieve the claimed technical result, namely, improving the usability of the device while expanding the ability to generate tests due to the possibility of generating tests for knowledge of a foreign language with many options for the correct answers, the database of which is adapted to replenish as a result of using the device. This emphasizes the essence of the claimed utility model, which relates to the "self-learning" of the claimed electronic device, which distinguishes it from existing analogues. Indeed, tests suggest only one correct answer, while in life we can answer one question in many ways, and all of them can be considered correct. The claimed utility model not only takes into account the existence of many options for the correct answers, but is also specially adapted specifically to supplement these options, since as a result of using the utility model, a new option may arise on some of the test questions, which can be regarded as correct. The specified characteristics allow this to be accomplished.

There is a variant of the utility model in which the server additionally contains a database of errors and incorrect answers to tasks connected to the control unit and the comparison unit.

Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to automatically correct errors made by the user as soon as he makes them. The user is immediately informed which one he made a mistake and how correctly. At the same time, you can read the teacher’s comment on this error. Or incorrect phrases may contain links to articles explaining grammar rules that make mistakes.

There is a variant of the utility model, in which the server additionally contains assessments of the user's skills in mastering a foreign language according to the tests of an electronic device, connected to a comparison unit.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to evaluate the user's skills in mastering a foreign language according to the tests of an electronic device, and this also happens automatically.

The set of essential features of the proposed utility model is unknown from the prior art for devices of a similar purpose, which

Stage A2. The user enters his translation variant word by word from device 3.

If the words are entered correctly, then he proceeds to step A5.

If the word is entered incorrectly, and such an option is contained in the database of errors and incorrect answers, then it proceeds to step A3.

Stage A3. The user gets an error message with the commentary of the teacher or indicating which grammar or other rule he violated.

If there is no such option in any database, then it proceeds to step A4.

Stage A4. The user translation option is sent to the teacher, who chooses the next:

Stage A41. Mark user’s answer as correct, it is automatically added to the database of correct answers

Stage A42. Mark the user's response as incorrect and comment, then he gets into the database of errors and incorrect answers with a comment about the essence of the error.

Stage A43. Mark the user's response as spam, when such is obvious, then the response is simply erased.

Stage A5. The device evaluates the completion of the task by the user and provides the result of the assessment using the block assessing the user's skills in mastering a foreign language.

The above embodiments of the utility model are exemplary and allow you to add new options or modify the described. For example, use stages selectively, rearrange.

Additionally, it is possible to use the method of pre-filling all databases, which is to give all users tasks for translation, consisting of separate short phrases, which will then be further combined into general tasks performed in the form of lessons that form a common course. Many users, without fully completing the lessons, will be able to perform a short translation as a “warm-up". Thus, you can quickly fill out the necessary databases of the correct, but different from the answer of the teacher, and incorrect answer options.
