Abstract
Embodiments of a language learning system and method for implementing or assisting in self-study for improving listening fluency in a target language are disclosed. Such embodiments may simultaneously present the same piece of content in an auditory presentation and a corresponding visual presentation of a transcript of the auditory presentation, where the two presentations are adapted to work in tandem to increase the effectiveness of language learning for users.
Claims21
A system for language learning, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions to:
- obtain an audio file and a corresponding transcript and timing file, the transcript and timing file comprising words of a transcript of content of the audio file;
- auditorily present the content of the audio file;
- simultaneously with the auditory presentation of the content of the audio file, generate an interface using the transcript and timing file, the interface including a visual display, the visual display synchronized with the auditory presentation of the content and presenting a visual transcript of the content in a target language, wherein:
- the visual transcript includes a visual transcript of a set of characters comprising the content,
- the visual transcript of the set of characters includes a redacted character, and
- the redacted character is redacted by presenting a corresponding lozenge for the redacted character in the visual display, wherein a visual appearance of the corresponding lozenge for the redacted character communicates a structure or expression of the redacted character, and synchronizing the visual display of the visual transcript of the content with the auditory presentation of the content comprises:
- determining that the redacted character is being presented in the auditory presentation of the content;
- highlighting the presentation of the corresponding lozenge of the redacted character in the visual display substantially simultaneously with the auditory presentation of that character in the auditory presentation.

A method for language learning, comprising:
- obtaining an audio file and a corresponding transcript and timing file, the transcript and timing file comprising words of a transcript of content of the audio file;
- auditorily present the content of the audio file;
- simultaneously with the auditory presentation of the content of the audio file, generating an interface at an electronic device using the transcript and timing file, the interface including a visual display, the visual display synchronized with the auditory presentation of the content and presenting a visual transcript of the content in a target language, wherein:
- the visual transcript includes a visual transcript of a set of characters comprising the content,
- the visual transcript of the set of characters includes a redacted character, and
- the redacted character is redacted by presenting a corresponding lozenge for the redacted character in the visual display, wherein a visual appearance of the corresponding lozenge for the redacted character communicates a structure or expression of the redacted character, and synchronizing the visual display of the visual transcript of the content with the auditory presentation of the content comprises:
- determining that the redacted character is being presented in the auditory presentation of the content;
- and
- highlighting the presentation of the corresponding lozenge of the redacted character in the visual display substantially simultaneously with the auditory presentation of that character in the auditory presentation.
