Verb Learning System for Foreign Language Speaking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional foreign language learning methods are inadequate for speaking foreign languages, particularly for Korean learners, as they focus on translation from foreign language to mother tongue, leading to lexical ambiguity issues and inability to express individual content effectively.
Innovation Solution
A verb learning method and system that translates from mother tongue to foreign language, incorporating a 'meaning filling information' process and using sample sentences to disambiguate verbs, allowing learners to select appropriate vocabulary for their intended content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional translation method (foreign language to mother tongue) is used, then reading and listening comprehension is improved, but speaking and writing production is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional translation direction by translating from mother tongue to foreign language instead of foreign language to mother tongue. This inversion aligns with the natural speaking process where learners formulate thoughts in their native language and then convert to the target language, thereby improving speaking production while maintaining comprehension accuracy
2Productivity
If patterned sentence learning is used, then common expressions are mastered, but individual content expression is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sentence into fixed pattern parts and variable meaning-filling parts. The patterned structure provides fluency for common expressions, while the separable meaning-filling components allow learners to insert individual content dynamically, thereby achieving both fluency and expressiveness
3Quantity of substance
If verb pair memorization is used, then vocabulary size is increased, but lexical ambiguity resolution is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary translation process that goes through the learner's native language as a mediator. This intermediary step allows the learner to select the appropriate foreign language verb by comparing it with the precise meaning in their native language, thereby resolving lexical ambiguity while expanding vocabulary

AI summary
A verb learning method for speaking foreign language is provided. The verb learning method for speaking foreign language through a personal terminal, which has a verb learning function for speaking foreign language and includes a verb learning program for speaking foreign language, a member database, a foreign language database, a necessary meaning filling information database, wherein the verb learning method for speaking foreign language comprises the steps, which are performed by the verb learning program, of: searching the foreign language verb corresponding to a mother tongue verb when the mother tongue verb for speaking it in foreign language is inputted by an input device of the terminal, presenting necessary meaning filling information in the mother tongue verb, and presenting necessary meaning filling information in the foreign language verb corresponding to the necessary meaning filling information in the mother tongue verb.
