Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of educational teaching tools, and specifically to an English word generation, recognition and reading platform.

Background Art

[0002] Regarding the learning of English word recognition, reading, and spelling, currently, there are mainly the following four methods.

[0003] The first is the phonics method, that is, based on the pronunciation of the English letters contained in a word, first read out the pronunciation of each letter, and then combine these sounds to read out the pronunciation of the entire English word. However, although this method can be used for monosyllabic words, since the pronunciation of each letter is quite different from the final pronunciation of the word, it cannot be applied to polysyllabic words.

[0004] The second is the whole language method, that is, the central issue is that instead of having children understand words from the perspective of letters, it is hoped that children read and memorize a word as a whole. When children read an English book full of new words, if they do not understand how letters represent sounds, it is still difficult to increase their reading volume or improve their reading comprehension level.

[0005] The third is the teaching method of the international phonetic system, which is most well-known to Chinese students. The international phonetic symbols redesigned a series of symbols in addition to the pronunciation system of English words, and use this series of symbols to label the pronunciation of each word. To pronounce using the international phonetic symbols, it is necessary to look up the pronunciation symbols for each word, so the time it takes for children to acquire English is significantly lengthened. Also, it is very difficult for Chinese children to learn English, such as being unable to overcome the language barrier.

[0006] The fourth method is phonetic encryption, which consists of seven knowledge parts and a seven-step voice processing process. Split the word, find the stressed syllable, determine the pronunciation of the stressed syllable, find the weak stressed syllable, determine its pronunciation, and then directly read or spell the word. In this method, the biggest problem is that children cannot do it without the guidance of a teacher. The learning period is usually one semester, and the learning time is long. Also, even if a child has mastered the method, a long process of continuous training and application is required to achieve the goal of being able to read the word when seeing it or write the word when hearing it. Without follow-up supervision and guidance by teachers or guardians, many children will gradually return to their original learning state.

[0007] Therefore, for the spelling, reading aloud, and pronunciation of unknown words, a new training method and training learning platform are needed to train and learn the correct pronunciation of combinations of multiple syllables. After receiving the training, one will be able to pronounce accurately when encountering unknown words.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0008] The object of the present invention is to simplify the learning of word composition and pronunciation by distinguishing between consonant-vowel structure syllables and consonant-consonant-vowel structure syllables that make up a word and setting pronunciation rules, and to train the learner's ability to pronounce unknown polysyllabic words by randomly combining syllables to pronounce, so as to provide an English word generation, recognition, and reading aloud platform.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, specifically, the following technical solutions are adopted.

At least one word composition display unit and an identification label are attached to the word composition carrier module. One word composition component is labeled on one word composition display unit. The word composition carrier module is divided into a main word composition carrier and a secondary word composition carrier. The word composition component labeled on the word composition display unit of the main word composition carrier is the main word composition component determined according to the stress rule of word syllables. The word composition component labeled on the word composition display unit of the secondary word composition carrier is the secondary word composition component that forms a word in combination with the main word composition component in an English word. One main word composition carrier and one secondary word composition carrier are arranged in the word generation identification reading area to generate one English word. The electronic identification reading module is incorporated in the platform body and includes an identification unit, a control unit, and a voice unit that are connected for data exchange. The identification unit is provided in the word generation identification reading area. By identifying the word composition display unit of the word composition carrier module arranged in the word generation identification reading area, it transmits identification information to the control unit. The control unit receives the identification information and controls the voice unit to voice according to the word pronunciation rule and opening and closing. The voice unit reads out the pronunciation of the word generated according to the command from the control unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the generated English words include real words and false words.

[0012] Furthermore, a prefix of an English word may be further included on the left side of the main word composition component.

[0013] Furthermore, the word composition carrier storage area includes a main word composition carrier storage area and a secondary word composition carrier storage area.

[0014] Furthermore, the word composition carrier module has a cuboid structure, and identification labels corresponding to the word composition display unit and the identification unit are provided on any of its four side faces.

[0015] Furthermore, the processing steps by the electronic identification reading module include: (1) identifying the main word composition component and the secondary word composition component in the word generation identification reading area by reading the identification label of the word composition carrier module; and (2) pronouncing the English words generated by the main word composition component and the secondary word composition component according to the pronunciation rule that short vowels, long vowels, and normal vowels form words.

[0016] Furthermore, regarding the pronunciation rule that short vowels, long vowels, and normal vowels form words, when it is necessary to determine open and closed syllables when only one of the five vowel letters precedes a consonant or is combined with a consonant-consonant, if the secondary word composition component starts with a consonant-vowel structure, it is an open syllable, and the vowel in the previous syllable is pronounced as the sound of the letter name of the five vowel letters; if the secondary word composition component starts with a consonant-consonant-vowel structure, it is a closed syllable, and the vowel in the previous syllable is pronounced as the sound of the letter name of the five vowel letters; and the pronunciation of the syllables with vowel letters in the secondary word composition component all follows the pronunciation rule of weak stress syllables.

Advantages of the Invention

[0017] According to the English word generation, recognition and reading aloud platform of the present invention, a learner places a main word composition carrier marked with any combination of consonants and vowels and any combination of consonants, consonants and vowels in the vowel family in the word generation and identification reading area. Next, according to the progress and needs of learning, at least one auxiliary word composition carrier with an auxiliary word composition syllable component is taken, and the main word composition carrier and the auxiliary word composition carrier are combined in the generation and identification reading area to generate words, and the pronunciation of the generated words is read aloud by an identification device. Regarding the generated English words, regardless of whether they are real words or false words, they can only be pronounced according to the pronunciation rules provided in the electronic identification and reading module of the present invention, and the pronunciation and spelling of various English words can be trained with emphasis.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the English word generation, recognition and reading platform of the present invention includes a platform main body 1, a word composition carrier module 2 and an electronic identification reading module 3 incorporated in the platform main body 1. The platform main body 1 has a word generation, identification and reading area 11 and a word composition carrier storage area 12. At least one word composition display unit 21 and an identification label 22 are attached to the word composition carrier module 2, and one word composition component is labeled on one word composition display unit. The word composition carrier module 2 is divided into a main word composition carrier 23 and a sub-word composition carrier 24. The word composition component labeled on the word composition display unit 21 of the main word composition carrier 23 is the main word composition component determined according to the stress rule of the word syllable. Preferably, an English word prefix may further be included on the left side of the main word composition component. The word composition component labeled on the word composition display unit of the sub-word composition carrier 24 is the sub-word composition component that combines with the main word composition component to form a word in an English word.

[0023] The syllable pronunciations of the consonant-vowel structures displayed by the word formation display unit 21 of the main word formation carrier 23 and the sub-word formation carrier 24 are continuous staccato sounds, and are a total of 468 consonant-vowel structure syllables formed by combining the existing 18 vowel letters and 26 consonant letters, for example, ca, be, pea, etc. The consonant-consonant-vowel structures displayed by the word formation display unit 21 of the main word formation carrier 23 and the sub-word formation carrier 24 are syllables of consonant-consonant-vowel structures commonly combined in English words, such as more than 300 like sea, bla, gla, sta, shra, etc.

[0024] Therefore, the word formation carrier storage area 12 preferably includes a main word formation carrier storage area 121 and a sub-word formation carrier storage area 122. The main word formation carrier storage area 121 is for arranging a plurality of main word formation carriers 23. The main word formation carrier storage area 121 has a plurality of rows of compartments, and these compartments are divided into 18 vowel families according to the pronunciations of 18 vowels, and are respectively arranged in different compartments of the main word formation carrier storage area 121. The sub-word formation carrier storage area 122 is for arranging the sub-word formation carriers 24.

[0025] One main word formation carrier 23 and one sub-word formation carrier 24 are arranged in the word generation identification reading area 11 to generate one English word. Furthermore, the generated English words include real words and false words, that is, not all are real words, but also false words, that is, words without meaning are included. Real words and false words have their respective pronunciations according to the pronunciation rules of English. The two word formation carrier modules 2 arranged in the word generation identification reading area 11 are divided into the main word formation carrier 23 on the left and the sub-word formation carrier 24 on the right according to the stress and weak stress rules. The syllable units of the word formation display unit 21 in the two word formation carriers are ta and cky respectively. After the electronic identification reading module 3 identifies these, it pronounces the main word formation and the sub-word formation in sequence, that is, pronounces ta.cky.

[0026] The electronic identification reading module 3 is incorporated into the platform body 1 and includes an identification unit 31, a control unit 32, and a voice unit 33 that are connected in a data-exchangeable manner. The identification unit 31 is provided within the word generation identification reading area 11 and transmits identification information to the control unit by identifying the word composition display unit of the word composition carrier module arranged within the word generation identification reading area. The control unit receives the identification information and controls the voice unit to voice according to word pronunciation rules and opening / closing. The voice unit reads out the pronunciation of the generated word according to the command from the control unit.

[0027] Specifically, the processing steps by the electronic identification reading module include: (1) a step of identifying the main word composition component and the secondary word composition component within the word generation identification reading area by reading the identification label of the word composition carrier module; and (2) a step of pronouncing the English word generated by the main word composition component and the secondary word composition component according to the pronunciation rules of short vowels, long vowels, and normal vowel words.

[0028] Specifically, when it is necessary to determine open and closed syllables when the pronunciation rule that the short vowel, long vowel, and normal vowel form a word is that only one of the five vowel letters precedes a consonant or is combined with a consonant-consonant, if the secondary word composition component starts with a consonant-vowel structure, it is an open syllable, and the sound of the letter name of the five vowel letters for the previous syllable is pronounced. If the secondary word composition component starts with a consonant-consonant-vowel structure, it is a closed syllable, and the sound of the vowel of the previous syllable is pronounced according to the letter name of the five vowel letters. The pronunciation of the syllables with vowel letters in the secondary word composition component all follows the pronunciation rules of weak stress syllables.

[0029] In one embodiment, the word composition carrier module 2 preferably has a cubic structure, and identification labels 22 corresponding to the word composition display unit 21 and the identification unit 31 of the electronic identification reading module 3 are provided on any of its four side faces. The word composition carrier module 2 is composed of a plurality of individual components including a main word composition carrier and a secondary word composition carrier. Learners can take and use these components more flexibly and conveniently, and repeatedly generate and recognize and read words at any convenient location. The word generation identification reading area 11 of the platform body 1 may be a long groove, and three sets of word generation identification reading areas 11 in the shape of long grooves are provided on one platform body 1. The identification unit 31 of the electronic identification reading module 3 is provided at the bottom of the groove of the word generation identification reading area 11. The word composition carrier module 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and one word composition display unit 21 and one identification label 22 are provided on each rectangular side face of the rectangular parallelepiped. The identification label 22 corresponding to the syllable unit of the word composition display unit 21 is located on the opposite side face of the rectangular parallelepiped. That is, the identification label 22 of the word composition display unit 21 displayed on the top face is on the bottom face, which facilitates identification by the identification unit 31. The identification label 22 of the word composition display unit 21 and the identification position of the identification unit 31 may be exchanged for easy identification, which is a normal exchange.

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention does not combine letters, but combines mature syllable pronunciations and pronounces according to pronunciation rules to conduct English listening and speaking training. The combination method in the present invention has a practical effect on the recognition and reading of English words, and the practical learning efficiency is higher.
