Problems solved by technology

Inappropriate stress alternation patterns in Chinese English pronunciation often lead to interruptions in spoken English communication between Chinese and native English speakers, and even misunderstandings, which generally weaken the intelligibility of discourse. The lack of stress awareness in pronunciation is a common problem for Chinese English learners. A major weak link that has become a bottleneck in improving the quality of English pronunciation

Embodiment Construction

[0013] A method of improving the quality of English pronunciation by using the sense of touch, establishing an English stress rhythm database 1, establishing a data model for English speech according to the classification mode of pitch, sound length, sound intensity and sound quality, and combining the database management technology to encapsulate the data into English Accent rhythm database 1, its specific method steps are as follows:

[0014] (1) start English accent rhythm database 1, by external audio player 2, play;

[0015] (2) Utilize the microphone 3 to convert the sound of the audio player 2 into an audio electrical signal, and then the audio signal is enhanced by the power amplifier 4;

[0016] (3) The enhanced audio frequency signal is divided into two paths, one path is passed to the earphone 7 of the English learner; the other path converts the audio frequency signal into mechanical vibration through the vibration sensor 5 and passes it to the vibration device 6 ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving English pronunciation quality by means of tactile sense and relates to the field of English study. According to the method for improving the English pronunciation quality by means of the tactile sense, an English stress rhythm data base is established, a data model is established according to a classification pattern that English pronunciation is classified according to pitch, length, intensity and tone quality, data is encapsulated in the English stress rhythm data base by combining with the data base management technique, English pronunciation audio electric signals in the data base are divided into two channels, one channel of the signals is received by an English leaner, the other channel of the signals is converted into corresponding mechanical vibration, and therefore the English leaner is enabled to feel pronunciation rhythm change through the tactile sense. According to the method for improving the English pronunciation quality by means of the tactile sense, the English leaner is enabled to strengthen the feel of stress in English pronunciation due to the fact that the tactile sense can assist auditory sense when the English leaner feels English pronunciation rhythm by means of the auditory sense, the English leaner is helped improve stress awareness, and English pronunciation quality of the English leaner is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of English learning, in particular to a method for improving the quality of English pronunciation by using the sense of touch. Background technique [0002] Stress is the mark and soul of English rhythm. Without stress, there is no English rhythm. To perceive English rhythm is to perceive English stress. The rhythmic characteristics of English stress are mainly reflected by four parameters: pitch, sound length, sound intensity and sound quality. Stress is very sensitive, but tone awareness is relatively poor; Chinese people are very sensitive to tones, but accent awareness is relatively weak. Most Chinese people speak English with a relatively obvious Chinese accent and Chinese tone. Obviously, this is a manifestation of Chinese people's imperfect learning of English accent , which is also the result of the influence of Chinese rhythm patterns. Inappropriate stress alternation patterns in Chinese English pronunciatio...
