546593 V. Description of the Invention (1) [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a computer-assisted language training system and method, and particularly to a training method for foreign language sentence-making and expression ability. An interactive foreign language sentence making ability training system and method. [Background of the Invention] The ultimate goal of any kind of foreign language learning is to be able to use the language freely to achieve the realm of being able to read, write, and read. Therefore, in order to achieve the practical and flexible use of language, learners must be able to fully grasp the focus of language learning, that is, the mastery of "sentences". Because π sentence π is the smallest unit of language use, only Being able to understand the structural composition, arrangement order, and pattern changes of familiar sentences can create real-time sentences that can be used anytime, anywhere. Only by developing the basis for the use of sentences can the language's overall listening, speaking, reading, and writing be further improved. Ability, so if the learner has the basic ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing about the language, the learner must first have the ability to create sentences and apply sentences. Although there are many computer-assisted foreign language training systems on the market, in fact, if you look closely, the training methods provided by these systems are similar. Generally, the mother tongue is used as the basis for training during the training process. Some simple contexts or translations are used as hints, and some simple learner response mechanisms are used for training. However, this training method may cause several problems: First, only the textual hint content cannot be effective. Stimulate the learning interest of learners, so that learners may be lack of interest in the learning process

546593 V. Description of Invention (2)

As a result, learning is not effective, or even unwilling to undergo long-term continuous training; In addition, simple textual context prompts may prevent learners from fully understanding the true meaning of the question in a short time, or because they are prompted by the mother tongue context Influence, and misunderstood the true meaning of the topic, resulting in the inability to answer quickly and correctly; or when the learner is confronted with the translation hints based on the mother tongue, they may be unable to escape the constraints of the mother tongue. As a result, there is another kind of negative interference in answering ideas and expressions, so it is impossible to express the actual content with foreign language ideas. These problems will seriously affect the results of foreign language sentence expression training. Therefore, the present invention attempts to find the best effective solution from the lack of computer-assisted language training methods known in the past. In terms of training methods, neither educators nor computer-assisted instruction experts have proposed a clear and effective learning theory or training methods to follow. However, after conducting many in-depth studies, the present invention hopes to try a A more simple and convenient computer-assisted language training system should be

Use more mature computer technology to overcome the problems of traditional methods and increase learners' proficiency in sentence making and expression in a more convergent manner, so that learners can more creatively create, apply and express language sentences. Handy. [Objective and Summary of the Invention] In view of this, the present invention proposes a multimedia foreign language sentence expression training system and its method without the prompt of a native language in order to solve the above problems. The main purpose is to use multimedia that does not include native language (such as video ,move

Read, continue, stop and enter ... etc.) to perform monitoring actions, and at the same time generate corresponding operation control messages, and through the connection between them and each module, carry out message transmission and execution operations. (2) Sentence setting module 2 2 0 is used to provide various settings during sentence training, including settings for prompt playback (such as: playback items, playback speed ...), settings for reorganization rules, and Enter the settings for answering (such as answering method, answering time, task adjustment ...). (3) The multimedia sentence database 2 3 0 is used to store at least one sentence sentence pattern. Each sentence sentence pattern contains the sentence sentence number, the sentence sentence context, the sentence sentence sentence, and the sentence sentence. Different prompts, such as type prompts and sentence-formed speech, contain related multimedia data files. Among them, the sentence structure data structure of the multimedia sentence database 2 230 can be referred to in the part of "Figure 2", which is a sentence format of the multimedia foreign language sentence expression training system and method of the present invention without a mother tongue prompt. A schematic diagram of the data structure. From the figure, we can find that each sentence pattern has a unique number, and this number is used as the sole basis for retrieving the sentence pattern. (Data; In addition, in each sentence pattern There is a set of contexts and corresponding voice files for questioning; the sentence pattern also contains complex sentences with different arrays, corresponding voices and corresponding prompts, and combinations, which can be used by users for foreign language sentence training. This sentence type The characteristic of the data structure is that it can be stored at the same time with different

546593 V. Description of the invention (5) Multimedia data files (including: video, moving day, picture, and voice), and in the context of the same sentence pattern, multiple different practice sentences can be provided for users to learn and train, borrow The rich multimedia presentations increase the user's learning effect and interest, and allow the user to learn many different foreign language expressions in the same context. (4) Sentence input judgment module 2 40 is used to accept the user's input and perform comparison and judgment on the content of the answers input by the user. Users can use input devices (such as keyboard, mouse, digital touch panel and voice system, etc.) to perform input operations in text or voice mode. When this module 2 4 0 receives and stores it in the queue (Queue) The response content entered by the user will be compared and judged according to the principle of First In First Out (FIFO). (5) Sentence creation module 2 50, which is used to randomly generate questions, using a random number generator to generate a random number, and using this random number to retrieve the multimedia sentence pattern database 2 3 0 Basis of type. Next, please refer to "Figure 3", which is the main flowchart of the multimedia foreign language sentence expression training system and method of the present invention without the prompt of the mother tongue, which is explained as follows: First, when the user starts to enter the present invention, When foreign language sentence expression training system 2 0 0, it will first determine a specific sentence making pattern by randomly asking questions (step 4 0 0); then, from the multimedia sentence pattern database 2 3 0 The corresponding prompt content is presented to the playback, and after the playback is completed, the user's input is accepted to answer (step 50 0); when the

546593 V. Description of the invention (6) After the user has finished answering and inputting the content, the system 2000 will start the comparison and judgment (step 6 0 0); the result of the final comparison will be determined in advance The task adjustment content set in the sentence setting module 2 2 0 determines the user's subsequent training tasks (such as approving the task to continue the next task, giving corrections and repeating the same task ...). This is considered to be a complete sentence training training process. (Step 7 0 0) ^ Finally, the process ends. In the following, we will use the "Figure 4" to answer the prompts for further details as follows:

First, when the system determines a specific sentence pattern, it will extract the content of the sentence pattern from the multimedia sentence database database 230 (step 510), which includes the sentence pattern context, the sentence pattern sentence, and the sentence pattern. Type prompts and sentence-type speech; then start to play the sentence-type prompts according to the settings in the sentence-setting setting module 2 2 0 (step 5 2 0), and determine whether the playback is complete? (Step 5 3 0) If not, continue to play, otherwise continue to reorganize the sentence-formed sentence and output it to the user as a reference for the user's subsequent response (step 5 4 0); then the sentence is made Contextual output of sentence patterns and start accepting user input to answer (step 5 50), the user can input peripheral devices (such as: keyboard, mouse, digital touch panel and voice system ...) in text or voice Way to perform content input actions. At this time, the system will automatically determine whether the user's input has been completed? (Step 5 6 0) If not, continue to accept the user's input action, otherwise the content of the user's input and answer will be put into a queue in order and returned for subsequent comparison and judgment , At this point, the prompting and answering section is ended, and the main flow is returned.

Page 9 546593 V. Description of the invention (7) Finally, we will illustrate the specific feasibility of the present invention with an example. Please refer to "Figure 5": First of all, the first thing you can see in the whole process of foreign language sentence training It is the day-to-day view of the sentence-making sentence pattern reminder 8100. At this stage, the system 200 can use different forms of multimedia content (such as the moving day and voice shown in the day-and-face) to provide the necessary prompts; After finishing, we then proceed to the daytime face of the sentence-form sentence 8 2 0. From this daytime face we can find that the sentence-type sentences have been randomly reorganized in advance. This part is mainly used for users Know in advance which constituent elements a sentence has, so that users can respond more quickly and accurately in subsequent responses; immediately after the last stage, the system 2 0 0 will enter the input comparison judgment 8 3 0 Medium, that is, when the context of the sentence structure appears (ie, what is shown in the day: nWhat is he doing in the kitchen?), It means that the user can start to enter and answer, When the user starts answering, when the user finishes answering (as shown in the daytime: He is cooking dishes for today is his wife's birthday), the system 2000 will immediately perform a comparison and judgment action to determine To approve the task to continue to the next task or to give corrections to repeat the same task. [Effectiveness] The multimedia foreign language sentence expression training system and method of the present invention without the prompt of the mother tongue uses mature computer technology and multimedia technology, and provides a complete interactive foreign language sentence training environment and method, thereby helping users to improve foreign languages Sentence making and training in foreign language expression. Especially in the present invention, the mother tongue is not used as a reminder, but other

Page 10 546593 V. Description of the invention (8) The prompts for sentence training are not included in the multimedia playback method including the mother tongue, so that users can express their ideas correctly and quickly without being affected by the mother tongue prompts. . Through the present invention, in addition to avoiding the user's excessive reliance on the translation cues composed by the mother tongue, the expression is not natural and vivid, and the result of the expression is too biased towards the mother tongue form; or because it relies too much on the context composed by the mother tongue, and Produce misleading interference with users' expressions and ideas.

In addition, by playing multimedia prompts, users can increase their understanding of what they want to express, and greatly reduce the time spent thinking in foreign language expressions. After long-term training, users will no longer need to rely on prompts in their mother tongue. As a supplement, you can easily make sentences and expressions in foreign languages. At the same time, the training activities can be made more lively and lively, thereby increasing the user's interest in learning, and then continuing to train foreign language sentence making skills. Although the present invention is disclosed in the foregoing preferred embodiments as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
