Computer implemented methods of language learning

Abstract

A computer-implemented method of language learning, which displays a three dimensional environment on a user display. A user can navigate a character representation (3) around the environment. A plurality of destination points (2A, 2B, 2C) are provided in the environment for the character (3), wherein at least at selected destination points either exemplar or interactive conversations (7, 8) are initiated with the character (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computer-implemented language learning methods, particularly but not exclusively to language learning methods utilizing computer networks. Background technique [0002] Learning a new language is a difficult and long-term process for most people, especially if their friends, family and colleagues do not expose them to the language. Access to personal tutoring is not always available to everyone for various reasons, so software has been developed to enable computer-based learning. However, the Applicant believes that existing software for assisting language learning is suboptimal and could be improved, or at least not adapted to everyone's learning style. [0003] Accordingly, there is a need for computer-implemented language learning methods that provide improved teaching tools, or at least computer-based language learning methods that replace those existing methods. Contents of the invention [0004] According to o...
