Definitions

  • the present invention relates to teaching foreign languages and, in particular, to a method of teaching a foreign language using an electronic diary.
  • This invention is predicated on the premise that it would be advantageous to teach a language, whether it is a first or second language, through a system whereby a student can use an electronic diary to provide written submissions to a central or remote location. The student's input could then be checked or graded and the student could be provided feedback according to proficiency in and understanding of the language.
  • a method of teaching using a computer network including the steps of:
  • the electronic medium is an electronic diary, into which the student may enter comments or thoughts in the language, such as the English language.
  • the submission comprises those comments or thoughts.
  • the submission may be entered in the medium by any suitable means, usually via one or more computer peripherals, the most common being a computer keyboard and a mouse.
  • the submission may be entered via a microphone or mobile phone, PDA or other suitable portable electronic device including wireless devices.
  • the submission is made periodically by the student, preferably on a daily basis or on a daily basis during weekdays, for example.
  • the computer network is preferably the Internet, but other computer networks may be used, including local area networks and intranets.
  • the student may use any suitable means to send the submission, and may require a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher.
  • a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher.
  • the student's transmission is secure and may be read or heard only by an authorised person, such as the teacher assigned to that student.
  • the submission may be accepted over the computer network in any suitable way, such as through an appropriate inbox which may be accessible by the assigned teacher.
  • the submission may include a written or verbal submission or a combination of written and verbal submissions.
  • Verbal submissions may be entered through any suitable means of recording sound in a suitable format to be saved using suitable software and sent over the computer network.
  • the amendment of the submission is preferably carried out using a set of predetermined criteria.
  • the criteria may view the submission on the basis of correct spelling (if written), correct grammar and correct common language usage.
  • the amendment distinguishes between each different criterion, such as by showing spelling corrections in a first way, showing grammar corrections in a second way and showing correct usage in a third way. Punctuation may also be considered, for example. Striking out, highlighting and underlining are examples of distinguishing different criteria.
  • the amendment may take the form of a verbal response to the submission, sent over the computer network to the student.
  • a verbal response and written amended submission may be sent over the computer network to the student.
  • the submission may also be graded, for example, to provide a score out often. If different criteria are used as set out above, each criterion may be separately graded.
  • An overall grade may be given to a particular student on the basis of proficiency in the subject being taught.
  • a student may be elevated to a higher grade if improved proficiency is shown.
  • Improved proficiency in the subject being taught may be shown through improved grades on submissions and/or achievement of a particular grade for a particular submission such as an on-line examination.
  • students may be grouped according to their proficiency in the subject being taught and may interact with one another in a virtual classroom. Such interaction may include sharing of information and chat rooms.
  • the written amended submission includes a marked up version of the submission of the student, with the amendments made in respect of spelling, punctuation, grammar and common language usage.
  • the amended submission may include an example as to one possible correct version of the submission.
  • the amended submission may include comments from the teacher as to possible ways of improving the use of the language, as well as encouraging comments in applicable cases.
  • the comments and/or marked-up version of the submission may be entered verbally or as written text or as a combination of the two.
  • the submission and the amended submission are stored in the electronic medium so that the student may review the original submission and the amended submission for comparison purposes and to increase the understanding of the language by the student.
  • Figure 1 is a screen shot of a sample submission made by a student in an electronic diary according to the method of the present invention
  • Figure 2 is a screen shot of a sample amended submission after return to the student from the teacher according to the method of the present invention.
  • the method of the present invention is used to teach the English language to students who do not have English as a first or primary language.
  • the present invention is not limited to this, but may be used for teaching another language which is not the first language of the student. It is also envisaged that the method of the present invention may be used to teach a language to a native speaker of that language. It is also anticipated that other forms of teaching can be accomplished using the method of the present invention.
  • the users of the system of the preferred embodiment are a student and a teacher in circumstances where the teacher is at a location remote from the student.
  • the student is an individual who is attempting to become more proficient in a language, whereas the teacher is proficient in that language.
  • the method provides an electronic diary on a computer connected to a network which is preferably the Internet.
  • the student enters a submission in the diary, as seen in Figure 1.
  • the student makes an entry on a daily basis.
  • the submission may take any form, but is preferably a composition, or an assignment or the like. There may be particular requirements for the length and/or nature of the entry, for example the number of words to be entered.
  • the diary entry may be amended from time to time by the student before being submitted and delivered over the Internet to the teacher, via an inbox or similar arrangement.
  • the submission may be written in the form of text entered into the diary or may be a verbal submission, or a combination of both written and verbal entries.
  • Verbal submissions can be recorded using a suitable means such as a microphone connected to the electronic diary and software that captures and stores the verbal submission in order that it may be sent over the computer network.
  • the submission is preferably secured so that only the assigned teacher may view the submission. This may be effected by any suitable software.
  • the teacher may then review the submission and amend it.
  • Figure 2 shows an example of a diary entry that has been received by the teacher, reviewed and amended. It can be seen in Figure 2 that the teacher has reviewed the text entered by the student in English for spelling, grammar and common usage. Other criteria may be used as appropriate to the nature of the submission. Any suitable method of indicating corrections may be used by the teacher such as striking out, highlighting and underlining and any combination of such methods. Separate methods of indicating corrections may be used for indicating different criteria.
  • the teacher may include a correct version of the submission.
  • the teacher may include comments and/or words of encouragement to the students with the amended response. These comments may be verbal or written or both.
  • the amended submission is then forwarded to the student over the network or Internet.
  • the amended submission may also be returned to the student in the form of a verbal amended submission.
  • the teacher enters a correct version of the submission via a suitable means such as a microphone connected to the computer network together with suitable software that captures and stores the verbal data in order that it may be sent over the computer network.
  • a suitable means such as a microphone connected to the computer network together with suitable software that captures and stores the verbal data in order that it may be sent over the computer network.
  • a combination of both verbal and written amended submissions may be sent by the teacher to the student.
  • the software used in connection with the method of the invention may enable the student to hear the amended submission aurally, if the student's computer has a sound card and suitable means to hear the recorded sounds such as speakers or head phones, for example.
  • the sound of the amended submission may be downloaded to a suitable portable electronic device such as an MP3 player, PDA or mobile phone to listen to at a later date.
  • the grading preferably includes information such as spelling, punctuation, grammar and common usage. For example a grade out of 10 may be given for each or any of spelling, punctuation, grammar and common usage. Further, an overall grade may also be given by the teacher to the submission.
  • Students of a particular proficiency in the language may be grouped together in a class. Students may improve their grade of class by achieving appropriate grades in submissions or through on-line examinations.
  • a virtual classroom may be set up for the students to interact one with another in chatrooms or to exchange class notes or other information.
  • the approach taken by the present invention is a unique way of encouraging the student to use, practice and improve naturally spoken and common usage of the language that they are learning.
