Patent ID: 7409348

Claim:
A language listening and speaking training system with features of random tests, well-chosen shadowing (vocal imitation) and instant paraphrase and definition, the system comprising: a teaching material database to store at least one teaching material sample, the teaching material sample including a teaching material number, a teaching material category number, a standard vocal demonstration, a cue(prompting) message, and an explanatory message (translation), and the cue(prompting) message and the explanatory message (translation) including lettering, speech sounds, pictures and animations; a random test module to retrieve a teaching material sample for proceeding shadowing learning from the teaching material database through a specific test retrieving procedure, the specific test retrieving procedure is being through a random variable generator to generate a random variable from a stored random variable array according to a built-in random variable list; a parameter setup module to enable a learner to proceed with a parameter setup before a language listening and speaking training, the parameter setup including setup of a random test parameter having test ranges and test difficulties, a play parameter having play speed and play times, and a message delivery parameter having message types and messages display times; and a shadowing learning module to output the teaching material sample based on pre-set data by the parameter setup module for the learner to process shadowing learning by recording the learner's shadowing sounds and repeatedly playing both standard vocal demonstration and learner's vocal imitation, and provide an explanatory message to the learner after the shadowing learning process is completed.
