Abstract:
Vocabulary acquisition of lists of words drawn from standardized tests are facilitated through contiguity of audio, visual and kinesthetic stimuli. The positive association of each word and a meaning of the word is achieved by separately displaying each word and stimuli on a graphical user interface of an electronic device which simultaneously or immediately successively plays the audio segment and prompts the user to physically interact with the electronic device. Through an ordered combination of steps, the method facilitates rapid verifiable contextual vocabulary acquisition via two levels of assessment testing, one in which the knowledge of the user is potentially aided by the correlation between the audio and visual segments and kinesthetic features, and one which is not.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for facilitating contextual vocabulary acquisition by a user through association, the method comprising steps:\n (a) compiling a plurality of lists, wherein each of said plurality of lists comprises a plurality of different vocabulary words; (b) selecting, for each vocabulary word in each list, an audio segment and a kinesthetic contextual feature for reinforcing a positive association between the vocabulary word and a meaning of the vocabulary word, wherein none of the audio segments and kinesthetic contextual features selected for the vocabulary words in the lists are the same; (c) separately displaying each vocabulary word in one of the lists and the meaning of said displayed vocabulary word to the user on a graphical user interface of an electronic device while the electronic device synchronously or immediately successively plays the audio segment and prompts the user to physically interact with the electronic device to perform the kinesthetic feature selected for the displayed vocabulary word; (d) presenting a plurality of practice vocabulary assessment inquiries to the user on the graphical user interface that test whether the user knows the meaning of the vocabulary words separately displayed in step (c), wherein said practice vocabulary assessment inquiries correlate to the audio segments and kinesthetic feature for reinforcing the positive association between the vocabulary words and the meaning of the vocabulary words in the list; (e) requiring the user to input into the electronic device a plurality of correct user responses to the practice vocabulary assessment inquiries presented in step (d) that meet a minimum practice assessment threshold value as a precondition to allowing the user to select a master vocabulary assessment tool displayed to the user on the graphical user interface; (f) in response to an allowed selection of the master vocabulary assessment tool by the user, presenting a plurality of master vocabulary assessment inquiries to the user on the graphical user interface that test whether the user knows the meaning of the vocabulary words separately displayed in step (c), wherein said master vocabulary assessment inquiries do not correlate to the audio segments and kinesthetic features for reinforcing the positive association between the vocabulary words and the meaning of the vocabulary words in the list; (g) requiring the user to input into the electronic device a plurality of correct user responses to the master vocabulary assessment inquiries that meet a minimum advancement threshold value as a precondition to allowing the user to repeat steps (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) for a different one of the lists, wherein the method facilitates contextual vocabulary acquisition by the user through association.
