Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention allows learning to be adapted to one's own level by one's own operation, and can enhance the willingness to learn and improve the concentration. The present invention relates to an English word learning device that can improve learning efficiency by, for example, learning a word perfectly by repeatedly displaying the word.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to improve the level of English learning, it is essential to acquire a large number of English words, and a learner can repeatedly read and write by using commercially available English word books or word books created by himself. Therefore, the memorization of English words may be sought, or the reinforcement learning of the English words not memorized may be performed by the teacher's instruction based on the result of the test or the like in a school or a cram school.

[0003]

However, the method of memorizing using an English word book or the like is difficult to make a self-determination as to how accurately one is mastering an English word, and it only makes me remember. In fact, there are many things that I forget about on an ad hoc basis, and this kind of memorization method for students is not interesting at all and lacks concentration, so I have to learn more than necessary because I can not remember, sometimes It is also a cause of distress, and the reality is that no great effect can be expected. Also, under the guidance of the teacher,
It is possible to help to some extent, but it is impossible for students to grasp all the English words that they do not remember correctly each time and continuously teach the English words repeatedly based on this to make them master perfectly. Yes, there is a limit to teacher guidance. In addition, PC software that aims at the audiovisual effect by displaying an English word on the screen and generating the sound of the English word is commercially available. It is impossible to grasp the learning level and memory level of the learner, it does not change the existing English word book, it is more expensive than the English word book, and it is inefficient for that It is rarely used due to such reasons.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, enables learning at each stage suitable for individual ability by using a computer, and has an interesting audio-visual effect so that concentration and learning efficiency at the time of learning can be improved. English can be improved to several levels, moreover you can fully understand your own memory, you can continuously learn words that you do not remember, and you can learn English words perfectly according to each level. The purpose is to provide a device.

[0005]

The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is that the student information file 1 corresponds to a set number of English words unitized by difficulty level, course, etc. A word number and a memory degree symbol classified into at least three levels of “incorrect answer”, “once correct answer”, and “continuous correct answer” based on past test results for each word number are written, and the word card 3 is also written. Necessary learning information such as English words, meanings, voices, etc. are recorded for each word number,
Upon learning, the student information file 1 is read, a random number is generated, and a predetermined number is randomly selected from word numbers corresponding to “incorrect answer” and “once correct answer”, respectively. List creating means 1 for creating each word list 2 in the list
0, the first memory output means for extracting the English words and their meanings from the word card corresponding to the word number of the memory word list, displaying them as a list on the screen for a fixed time limit, and voice-displaying each word by the pronunciation instruction operation 12 and the learning information for each of the word cards is individually displayed on the screen and as a voice.
A storage output unit 11 including a storage output unit 13 and a test format setting unit 1 for selecting a test format from English or Japanese or English or automatically at the time of testing
4 and the word output means 16 for randomly selecting a word number from each word list 2, extracting English words and meanings from the corresponding word card, creating a question group according to the set test format, and displaying it on the screen. A test output unit 15 including a correct / wrong output unit 17 for displaying the correctness / incorrectness of each answer for each question and displaying the correct answer on the screen in case of an error.
File correction means 18 for rewriting the memory degree symbol of the student information file based on the test result, and test result output means 1 for displaying and printing out the test result on the screen.
And an English word learning device.

[0006]

As described above, when the English word learning device of the present invention stores the English words, the English words corresponding to the "incorrect answer" in the student information file (that is, an English word that has been mistaken in the previous test in the past or has not been issued in the test yet) (Word) is randomly selected and displayed on the screen and voice, and this English word group is prompted to memorize within a certain time limit, and at the time of testing, this English word group and the English word that corresponds to "once correct answer" (That is, the English words that were correctly answered in the previous test in the past and were "wrong" in the last two times) were mixed with a group of English words that were randomly selected. By displaying on the screen in the test format and solving this group of questions, the degree of memory of the English words learned this time and before is sought. As a result, if "correct correct answer" is found in the modified student information file, the English word will be processed as if it was completely remembered.
Even if the correct answer is given once in this test, I do not know when it will be selected as a question from the next time onward, and when the English word is continuously or suddenly presented as the next question, the correct answer (that is, continuous correct answer) is given. It means that I can remember it enough, and I can solve the conventional problem that I feel like I remembered it on an ad hoc basis. Further, even if the correct answer is given once in this test, if it is mistaken in the next test, it will be processed as an "incorrect answer", so that the English word of "incorrect answer" must be redone from the beginning, and repeated memory learning can be performed.

It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of a table.

The student information file 1 is a file that is suitable for each student, and has corresponding word numbers (No. 1 to No. 1) of 200 English words unitized by difficulty level or course.
No. 200), the number of tests in the past for each word number, and a memory degree symbol (“incorrect answer”) that is classified into three levels of “incorrect answer”, “once correct answer”, and “continuous correct answer” based on the test results.
0, “Once correct answer” is 1, and “Continuous correct answer” is 2), and the information (in this case, the number of tests and the memory degree symbol) changed by the test result by the file correction means 18 is rewritten. Processing can be performed at any time.

The word list 2 is a word list including a memory word list 2a and a review word list 2b created by the list creating means 10 (S1). Specifically, the student information file 1 is created. Read (S
5) Generate random numbers and randomly select 20 words from the word numbers whose memory degree symbols do not correspond to “1” and “2”, that is, “0” (S6), and store the memory list 2a. 20 words are randomly selected from the word numbers whose memory degree symbol is "1" (S7), and the review list 2b is created. In the present embodiment, the memory degree is divided into three levels, but it is also effective to have four levels or more. For example, when "3 consecutive correct answers" is set as the symbol "3", the correct answer is given 3 times in succession. It is conceivable that the word is accurately memorized and the review list 2b is randomly selected from the word numbers whose memory degree symbols are "1" and "2".

After the list is created, the storage output means 11 is used to display a screen for storage (S2) based on the storage list 2a. The first storage output means 12 first Input the word number from the memory list 2a (S8), retrieve the English word and meaning (Japanese translation) corresponding to the word number from the word card 3 (S9), display this as a list (S10), and learn. The person looks at this screen and memorizes each English word by spending a set time limit of 5 minutes (S11).
The screen display in this case is a screen display displaying the English words 3a, the meanings 3b, the pronunciation button 3c, and the information button 3d, as shown in FIG.
A total of 20 storage English words are displayed together with the words. To display the pronunciation of each word by the pronunciation instruction operation, place the cursor on each word on the screen and press the pronunciation button (S12) to display the corresponding English word on the word card 3.
It is taken out from (S13), and the pronunciation of the English word is output as a voice (S14), and means for memorizing words by audiovisual sense is provided.

Further, the second storage output means 13 can individually display more detailed information of each memorizing English word, that is, the learning information for each word card 3 input in advance is appropriately output. It is something that can be done.
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, on the word card 3, meanings, synonyms, antonyms, derivative words, example sentences, syllable display of words, and the like are recorded for each English word, and a list is displayed on the screen (S10). ) Press the information button 3d on the screen of FIG. 9 (S1
As a result, the corresponding English word is taken out from the word card 3 (S16), the learning information of the word card 3 is output on the screen (S17), and the pronunciation button 3e on the screen is pressed (S18). ), In the case of an English word segmented by syllables, in the case of “en-gage” in FIG. 7, the first “en” is inverted first, and then “gage” is inverted, and so on for each bunsetsu unit. Along with the dynamic display, sound is emitted in accordance therewith (S19). In this way, it is extremely effective in practice to divide English words into phrases and remember the English words by dynamic screen and voice display. However, there is an advantage that it is easy to memorize.

After the memorization, the test output means 15 shifts to the test (S3). Before the test, the test format setting means 14 selects the test format from English-Japanese (selection type) or Japanese-English (description type). Whether to select it automatically or to select it arbitrarily, it is to decide by inputting either, and when it is set to automatic selection, it will be learned until the screen is displayed in which format the test question is displayed You can do interesting and practical tests because you don't know. Question groups are created according to the test format set by the question output means 16 and displayed on the screen. First, the 40 word lists 2 (word list for storage 2a and word list for review 2b) are randomly read ( S2
0), the English word and the meaning corresponding to the selected word number are taken out from the word card 3 (S21), and if the set format is English (descriptive), the translation is 1 as shown in the screen display of FIG. The individual English words are displayed (S22), and the English words of this translation are displayed on the screen so as to be input by the keyboard on the screen (S23). By sequentially displaying these words, a total of 40 questions can be tested. . The entered answer is checked by the correctness output means 17 for each question and answer (S24). If the answer is incorrect, it is displayed that the answer is incorrect and the correct answer is shown (S25). If the answer is correct, the correct answer is given. Is displayed (S26), and the result is input to the answer list 4 for each question (S27). If the answer is incorrect, a message indicating that the answer is incorrect is displayed so that the answer can be entered only once. Answer list 4 is 1 for each English word selected based on the test results.
If the answer is correct the second time, the symbol "1" is input. If the correct answer is the second time, the symbol "2" is input. If the wrong answer is made twice, the number "0" is input.

If the set test format is English-Japanese (selection type), a list of translations (4
(0) is displayed (S31), one English word is further displayed (S32), and a screen display is performed so that a portion thought to be a translation of this English word is clicked (S33), which is displayed sequentially. By doing so, a total of 40 questions of English-Japanese test can be done. The list of translations is displayed as shown in Figure 12.
You may make it always display about eight pieces including the correct answer translation of the question to be asked.

All 40 questions have been displayed (S2
In the case of 8), the test result is recorded (S4). Specifically, the file correction means 18 corrects the memory degree symbol of the student information file 1 based on the test result (S2).
9) The test result output means 19 displays the results of the test results on the screen as shown in FIG. 13, and at the same time, as shown in FIG. 14, displays a list of English words and meanings and correct / wrong answers by ○ × etc. on the screen. Print out (S30). “○”, “△” and “x” in the test result list correspond to the symbols “1”, “2” and “0” in the answer list 4,
"○" represents the correct English word in the first answer, "△" represents the correct English word in the second answer, and "×" represents the incorrect English word in both times. 31 out of 40 correct answers , Incorrect answer is 9
It shows that it is an individual. Also, although the number of remembered words is 11, this means that among the 31 English words that have been correctly answered this time, the memory degree symbol of the student information file 1 (“incorrect answer” is 0,
"Once correct answer" is 1 and "Continuous correct answer" is 2) which is corrected from "1" to "2", that is, randomly from the word numbers whose memory degree symbol is "1". It shows that 11 of the 20 English words in the review list 2b selected were correct in the test,
The English word is one that has been learned correctly in the past and has been correctly answered, and this question has been suddenly given this time and has been given the correct answer again. Of course, the nine wrong English words in this test have the memory degree symbol of the student information file 1 set to "0" and are selected as the memory list 2a, and the learning is restarted from the other 20 English words. The memory degree symbol of the student information file 1 is "1", and the question is only given during the test. However, as a result of the test for 20 English words,
If the answer is incorrect, the memory degree symbol of the student information file 1 is naturally "0", and learning is started from the beginning. In the display of FIG. 14, which of the 11 remembered English words is not specified, but the remembered English words may be specified by another symbol. With the printed out list 5, the learners can re-recognize the test results and can use it as a review material for what they remember and don't remember, and use this list as a word book. You can also do it.

In this embodiment, 200 English words in one unit are used.
The explanation was made with 20 English words for memory in one learning and 40 English words given in one test.
Of course, these word numbers can be set in any way, and should not be specified by the exemplified word numbers.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention,
If you do not answer correctly at least twice in a row in the test results, you will not remember the English word, and the English words will be randomly selected. , The true memory ability is tested, the degree of memory of one's own can be grasped, and intensive continuous learning of English words that cannot be remembered or cannot be remembered is possible. The purpose is to consistently learn English words from acquisition of good memory to tests.
Unlike electronic learning machines that simply present a group of questions, a high learning effect can be obtained, and English words can be memorized by learning at each stage suitable for individual ability, and for those who want to learn English words further It has a very interesting audiovisual effect, improves motivation for learning, and has a high actual learning rate, which is a great effect that cannot be exhibited by existing learning devices.
