在教育普及,工商業發達的現代社會,隨著資訊的快速發展,國際間的文化交流亦日趨頻繁,透過語言的轉達與溝通才能使我們迅速地接收國外的資訊。因此,語言是國際間傳達訊息的重要媒介,全世界的語言,其中以英文最普遍被使用,英文已儼然成為世界性的語言。在臺灣,英文是所有學生的必修外語課程,大學也往往要求學生的英文程度需達到一定水準,專業課程常常使用英文教科書(原文書)。單字是學習英文的重要關卡,認識單字的多寡,對於英文的學習有很大的影響力,跟學習中文一樣,認識的單字越多,所使用的詞彙也就越多,更能充分表達溝通。 在本研究中,利用擴增實境(Augmented Reality,AR)的技術,將英文單字在手機螢幕中以虛擬立體的方式呈現,再於手機螢幕上手寫英文單字,以增加對於英文單字的印象,最後於螢幕分割畫面裡顯示出中文解釋跟單字的發音。
In the modern society, education and commerce are developing. Expansion of information and knowledge is booming. By the communication of language, the international cultural exchange is even getting usual. Particularly, the English language is an important media of transmission. English is a global language and more commonly used than other languages. In Taiwan, English is a compulsory subject for all students. University also holds graduation proficiency requirement for English. As known, vocabulary plays an essential role in learning English. In this study, English words are first presented in 3D models by smart-phone Augmented Reality (AR). And then copy and write the English words on smart-phone's screen. In the end, the respective translation and pronunciation of the English words are provided for further learning.
