Claim 7:
8. A system for assisting listening study, comprising:
a microprocessor configured to:
instruct a device of a user to output an audible sound of assessment study sentences and receive first feedback from the user;
instruct a screen of the device to display the assessment study sentences by text and receive second feedback from the user;
determine a plurality of weak study sentences that the user fails to understand, with reference to the first feedback and the second feedback from the user;
convert each of the plurality of weak study sentences to a set of predetermined codes, wherein the microprocessor converts each of the plurality of weak study sentences into phonetic symbols, and converts each of the phonetic symbols to a series of Unicodes; and
determine at least some of pronunciations or pronunciation combinations commonly included in the plurality of weak study sentences as weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations that the user fails to understand by identifying one or more predetermined codes that are included in each of the sets of predetermined codes;
determine a compensatory study course to be provided to the user, with reference to the determined weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations,
wherein the microprocessor is configured to determine an assessment study sentence as a weak study sentence when it is determined with reference to the second feedback that the user fails to understand the assessment study sentence even if it is determined with reference to the first feedback that the user understands the assessment study sentence,
wherein the microprocessor is configured to specify the compensatory study course by at least one compensatory study material associated with the weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations, and a sequence in which the at least one compensatory study material is provided,
wherein the microprocessor is configured to determine the sequence in which the at least one compensatory study material is provided with reference to linguistic or phonetic elements regarding the weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations or correlations between the elements,
wherein the microprocessor determines a frequency of inclusion of each of the weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations in the plurality of weak study sentences, determines a ratio for the weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations based on the frequencies, and determines the compensatory study course including the weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations at the ratio, and
wherein the microprocessor determines pronunciations or pronunciation combinations that are commonly included in the plurality of weak study sentences at frequencies equal to or greater than a predetermined level as the weak pronunciations or pronunciation combinations.
