Method of teaching a foreign language to a student providing measurement in a context based learning system

摘要

Method for web based language learning that empowers self-directed learners by introducing measurement within an integrated system of context-based non-didactic learning. Measurement enables self-directed learners to set goals and observe their own achievements; to make sure that learning material matches their specific vocabulary; and to establish a priority for study that suits their needs. Measurability is achieved within a system where words and lexical phrases are chosen by the learner from familiar content in an integrated system of listening, reading, pronunciation, writing and structured conversation. A database system is incorporated which enables the learner to create individual word or phrase card files that are then tagged with additional identifiers for use in creating custom lists to assist in the learning process. Additional feedback is provided by an automated writing correction program that checks for syntax errors in the learner's written work.
