Fig. 8 illustrates a learning interface for implementing a pronunciation assessment module employed by the native-text-based one-cycle online foreign language learning system of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 8, there are included a nativelanguage display interface 334 displaying phrases and sentences of a native language corresponding to a selected foreign language, a native speaker soundsource output interface 335 outputting a native speaker sound source by selecting (clicking) the phrases or sentences displayed on the nativelanguage display interface 334, a recording button 336 for receiving a pronunciation of a user (learner), a play button 337 for playing the pronunciation (sound source) recorded by executing the recording button 336, and a transmission button 338 for transmitting the pronunciation (sound source) recorded by executing the recording button 336 to the learningserver 20.
With the above interface configuration, the user will select (click) the phrase or sentence displayed on the nativelanguage display interface 334 and listen to the pronunciation of the native speaker of the phrase (or sentence) selected through the native speaker soundsource output interface 335 by selecting (clicking).
After listening to the pronunciation of the mother speaker, the user (learner) pronunciation is inputted by the microphone of theuser terminal 10 through the selection (click) of the record button 336. The input user utterance is stored in a memory of theuser terminal 10, and the user utterance stored in the memory may be confirmed through the play button 337. At the same time, the user transmits a pronunciation selected from the user's pronunciations stored in the memory to the learningserver 20 through the transmission button 338.
Thus, thepronunciation evaluation module 330 evaluates the user pronunciation transmitted from theuser terminal 10.
The user pronunciation transmitted from theuser terminal 10 is compared with the native speaker pronunciation storage DB331 by thecomparison unit 332 to calculate the calculation score of each level.
Fig. 9 is a table illustrating one embodiment of a level score calculated for a user's pronunciation by a pronunciation evaluation module employed by the native language word-based one-cycle online foreign language learning system of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 9, the levels are divided into 1-10, and the fractional range of each level is subdivided into 1-100. Further, the weight may be given so as to gradually decrease from 10 points of 1 rank to 1 point of 10 ranks.
Here, the pronunciation attributes for classifying the levels will be described.
The native speaker sound sources stored in the native speaker sound storage DB331 are classified into 1 to 10 classes and stored according to accents, sound velocity, sound level, rhythm, and polyphones.
In the above, a polyphone is a sound in which one phoneme is connected to an adjacent phoneme, and occurs by the phonological phenomena such as assimilation, dropping, and addition, and is a connected sound or a contiguous sound.
In the above, the sound source of the native speaker classified into the 1 st level may be regarded as a dialogue performed close to the native speaker, and the sound source of the native speaker classified into the 10 th level may be regarded as a learner level of the primary level of the learning foreign language.
For example, the more articulation speeds and polyphones involved, the closer tolevel 1, and conversely, the closer tolevel 10.
The weight shown in fig. 9 is configured to be gradually reduced by giving 10 points tolevel 1 and 1 point tolevel 10 if the level is compared with the weight, but the weight having the highest point may be given to one or more levels selected fromlevels 5 to 7 according to design conditions.
For example, when the weight of 7 stages is set to 10 points, a weight of 8 points may be adopted for the weights of 8 stages and 6 stages, a weight of 6 points may be adopted for 9 stages and 5 stages, a weight of 4 points may be adopted for 10 stages and 4 stages, a weight of 3 points may be adopted for 3 stages, a weight of 2 points may be adopted for 2 stages, and a weight of 1 point may be adopted for 1 stage.
As illustrated in fig. 9, when the level score is calculated by thecomparison unit 332, since the level score oflevel 5 is the highest value, thecomparison unit 332outputs level 5 and level score of 75.
As such, thecomparison unit 332 compares the classified native speaker sound source of each level with the sound source of the user's pronunciation, and calculates a level score based on the comparison, and selects a level having the highest score based on the calculated level score.
Theevaluation unit 333 calculates as a pronunciation score based on the weight to the level selected by thecomparison unit 332 and the calculated level score.
That is, referring to fig. 9, theevaluation unit 333 multiplies the weight of the level selected by thecomparison unit 332 by the level score of the selected level to calculate a final pronunciation score. For example, in the case of the table of results shown in fig. 9, the pronunciation score may be calculated in the range from the lowest 100 to the highest 1,000. Since the level score of 5 levels is 75 points and the weight is 6, the pronunciation score is calculated as 450 points (75 × 6).
According to the above configuration, the denominator sound sources are classified into 1 to 10 classes based on accents, pronunciation speed, height of pronunciation, rhythm, polyphones, and the like, and pronunciation scores are calculated in association with the weight of each class, and therefore, in the case of pronouncing a foreign language phrase or sentence only at a fast speed, a high pronunciation score cannot be obtained. Therefore, there is an advantage that the score of the pronunciation evaluation is calculated based on a plurality of elements (parameters), so that the objectivity of the pronunciation evaluation can be maintained and the reliability of the pronunciation evaluation can be improved.
Fig. 10 is a table showing the learning details of the learning evaluation module, the hearing evaluation module, and the pronunciation evaluation module in the one-cycle online foreign language learning system based on native language characters according to the present invention.
Referring to fig. 10, by providing the number of learning times for a question (learning content), pronunciation (pronunciation evaluation), phrase (phrase hearing evaluation), sentence (sentence hearing evaluation), and polyphonic (polyphonic for pronunciation evaluation), the result of learning can be easily confirmed.
The englishwriting evaluation module 340 performs english writing evaluation using english writing content.
The englishwriting evaluation module 340 replaces words in a range of 1 to 3 words included in a phrase or sentence of the foreign language learning content with similar words or changeable words or outputs the words as a sound source of a native speaker based on the learning content by executing thelearning evaluation module 310, thehearing evaluation module 320, and thepronunciation evaluation module 320, and sequentially learns the foreign language and evaluates the words.
For example, configured to convert the learning phrase of "with his old mother" shown in fig. 3 into "with his old fast" (and his old father) to be output, the user can learn a foreign language through the output phrase.
By extending the words learned by the englishwriting evaluation module 340, there is an advantage that the application ability for learning foreign languages can be improved and the amount of word learning can be increased by adding words.
Thetime calculation part 400 performs a function of storing and managing the calculated learning time based on an input event from the user terminal, and calculating the rank of the user based on the reaction time to the learning.
That is, thetime calculation part 400 includes a learning participation time including a learning time calculated based on an input event from theuser terminal 10, a waste time calculated based on a fee learning time other than the learning time, and a total time of calculating a total time of the learning time and the waste time, and a time reaction level time for calculating a level by the learned reaction time.
The time calculated by thetime calculation part 400 may be displayed on the interfaces of thelearning evaluation module 310, thehearing evaluation module 320, thepronunciation evaluation module 330, and the englishwriting evaluation module 340. Fig. 11 is a screen for explaining an interface displayed by the time calculation part employed in the one-cycle online foreign language learning system based on native language characters according to the present invention.
The interfaces displayed on thetime calculator 400 include a learnedtime display interface 401 that displays reaction time for foreign language learning, a wastedtime display interface 402 that displays time other than the reaction time for foreign language learning, and a totaltime display interface 403 that sums the learned time and the wasted time.
In the present invention, foreign language learning is performed by inputting an event based on interaction. At this time, interaction is mainly performed by clicking with an input device such as a mouse or a finger. Therefore, the occurrence of the interaction can be regarded as the foreign language learning time, and when there is no interaction within the prescribed time, it can be regarded as the non-learning time. For example, when another interaction is not input before the set time elapses, an elapsed time after the set time is determined to be a non-learning time and accumulated as a wasted time.
Further, thetime calculation part 400 includes a time reaction level time calculating a level by the learned reaction time.
That is, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the foreign language learning of the user is performed in such a manner that the foreign language learner listens to the sound source of the foreign language native speaker and selects (clicks) the word displayed on theword display screen 323 to complete the sentence corresponding to the listened sound source of the native speaker on the foreignsentence sub-selection screen 324. At this time, a sentence end time from a point of time when the parent speaker's sound source ends to a point of time when the sentence ends by the user's selection is calculated, and used as a criterion for measuring the degree of the user's foreign language level based on the calculated sentence end time.
For example, when the output time of the sound source of the native speaker is 10 seconds, the sound source is classified into A, B, C and D-level according to the calculated sentence end time, and displayed with the score. Incidentally, it is configured such that the shorter the calculated sentence end time is, the higher the level is adopted.
At this time, the score also includes the number of times learning is performed.
That is, the score is calculated based on the number of learning challenges and the foreign language class corresponding to the time calculated by the time calculating unit.
Thus, thetime calculation portion 400 not only calculates and provides the learning time with respect to the total time, but also serves as a reference for calculating the learning level.
Fig. 12 is a table showing the score table calculated by the time calculation section employed by the one-cycle-online foreign language learning system based on native language characters of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 12, by displaying the present learning time and the month learning time, the score, etc., it is possible to easily confirm what degree the actually learned time is. In addition, when the one-cycle on-line foreign language learning system based on native language characters of the present invention is applied to a non-face-to-face lesson, it can be used as a material capable of judging whether a user (learner) is faithful to the foreign language learning.
Therecording unit 500 receives and stores and manages the recorded user voice from the user terminal.
Fig. 13 shows an interface for recording through the recording part employed by the one-cycle, on-line foreign language learning system based on native language characters of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 13, the interface displayed through the recording section includes arecording button 501 for recording the pronunciation of the foreign language of the user using a microphone of the user terminal or the like, afile selection button 502 for selecting one recording file from the pronunciation recorded by executing therecording button 501, and atransmission button 503 for transmitting the file selected by thefile selection button 502 to the learningserver 20.
In this case, the foreign language pronunciation of the recording user may be a learning content or another foreign language pronunciation.
In this way, by storing the foreign language pronunciation of the management user in the learningserver 20, the learner (teacher) is provided with the condition capable of listening to the foreign language pronunciation of the user. Further, the foreign language pronunciation of the user stored in the learningserver 20 can be accumulatively managed as time passes.
With such a configuration of therecording unit 500, many administrators (or teachers) can listen to the foreign language pronunciation of the user, and can instruct pronunciation by evaluating the foreign language pronunciation of the user.
The opinionbook creation unit 600 stores and manages learning results created based on learning information, pronunciation score, and learning time stored in the user DB, pronunciation evaluation unit, and time calculation unit.
Fig. 14 is a screen illustrating an embodiment of an opinion book created by an opinion book creating part employed by the one-cycle online foreign language learning system based on native language characters of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 14, detailed foreign language sentences/phrases learned every day are displayed in the opinion book created by the opinionbook creating part 600, and include the number of times of learning and the progress rate (%) of the displayed sentences and phrases, score scores, total required time for learning, learned time, wasted time, and the like.
Thus, it can be used as a material capable of judging the loyalty of the user (learner) created by the opinionbook creating part 600 to foreign language learning.
Next, a periodic online foreign language learning method based on native language characters of the present invention will be explained.
Fig. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a one-cycle online foreign language learning method based on native language words according to the present invention.
