Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide method and device for leading interactive language learning. SOLUTION: In the method and device for leading the interactive language learning, a text file for processing is displayed, the basic functions for interactive learning are provided, an animation of a face is displayed, and a work space for a language construction function is provided. This system is provided with a set of language rules stored as part of a text/voice conversion sub-system, and another set of stored rules applied to a process for learning the languages. The method realized by this system includes a step for converting the text to an audible voice, a step for supplying the audible voice to a user or a student (together with an animation image when selected), a step for prompting the student so as to repeat the audible voice, a step for comparing the repeated voice of the student with the audible voice provided by the system and a step for providing a student with feedback and support, e.g. for selecting a required part and reproducing the audible voice and the voice of the student toward the student.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for interactive language instruction is provided th at displays text files for processing, provide key features and functions for interactive learning, displays facial animation, and provides a workspace for language building functions. The system includes a stored set of language rules as part of the text-to-speech sub-system, as well as another stored set of rules as applied to the process of learning a language. The method implemented by the system include s digitally converting text to audible speech, providing the audible speech to a user or student (with the aid of an animated image in selected circumstances), prompting the student to replicate the audible speech, comparing the student's replication with the audible speech provided by the system, and providing feedback and reinforcement to the student by, for example, selectively recording or playing back the audib le speech and the student's replication.
