Description

A method for memorizing foreign language vocabulary using film and television drama clips Technical Field

[0001] Use software technology to improve the efficiency of foreign language learners in memorizing foreign language vocabulary. Background Art

[0002] Traditional paper-based foreign language dictionaries, or electronic dictionaries like NetEase Youdao Dictionary, use a definition-plus-examples format, which can be tedious to learn, difficult to memorize, easily forgotten, and inefficient. Mobile apps like Baidu Ci Zhan and Hujiang Kaixin Cichang have improved learning efficiency and fun to some extent by associating words with images, offering multiple-choice meaning quizzes, and incorporating social and gaming features. However, these drawbacks still inevitably exist. This is due to a lack of authentic and effective contextual usage of words, which aligns with human learning habits. Native language learners naturally and efficiently acquire the meaning and usage of words and phrases through extensive exposure to real conversations, visuals, and auditory input in daily life. In recent years, video platforms like Bilibili and Douyin have seen a surge in the use of clips from foreign language films and television series, highlighting or highlighting words deemed worth learning by the video creators to help viewers memorize vocabulary. This approach, leveraging film and television resources, better aligns with human learning habits and offers the advantages of being fun, easy, efficient, and resilient to forgetting. However, video creators don't know the audience's vocabulary level, and the choice of words to introduce in a video segment is entirely subjective. Furthermore, these videos cannot be searched by word, and a single video often introduces multiple words. Viewers can only passively learn the words introduced in the video, unable to search for video segments containing the words they want to learn. Consequently, personalized learning needs cannot be met. Technical issues

[0003] As mentioned above, traditional dictionaries and mobile apps like Baidu Dictionary and Hujiang Happy Dictionary all suffer from the drawbacks of being boring to learn, difficult to memorize, easily forgotten, and inefficient. While existing methods for learning from film and television clips can overcome these shortcomings, they fail to meet personalized needs. Technical Solutions

[0004] Based on the aforementioned film and television drama video clip learning method, the present invention uses software technology to associate each video clip with a specific word or phrase, and provides a word and phrase-based retrieval function.

[0005] It mainly consists of four parts:

[0006] 1. Video capture: For the target word or phrase, search for the drama series containing it from the film and television resource library, and capture a short and closely related context scene containing it to form a video clip.

[0007] 2. Process the video: Process the video clips in step 1 by changing the color of the target words or phrases in the subtitles, adding word information and explanations before and after the target words appear, or at the end of the video to highlight them and enhance the learning effect.

[0008] 3. Association: In the software system, the videos processed in step 2 are associated with their corresponding words or phrases. Each video is associated with only one word or phrase, but one word or phrase can be associated with multiple videos.

[0009] 4. Retrieval: After association, users can enter words or phrases to retrieve the corresponding videos, making personalized learning easy, efficient and targeted. Beneficial effects

[0010] By improving the existing method of learning film and television drama clips, we can achieve the goal of meeting personalized needs while making it interesting, easy, efficient, and anti-forgetting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
