Abstract

A digital language teaching system is disclosed, in which through an audio control manner, the learner, by utilizing a learning sub-machine, can focus on listening and speaking practice under a simple hardware control and operation, so that the teaching staff and the learner can have a more direct and faster interaction for improving learning efficiency. Moreover, through the output devices of the video device and teaching providing the learner the teaching image and the interactive teaching pictures, the video learning manner can be provided to the learner through the supplemental multimedia teaching materials, so that the teaching staff can teach the learners in accordance with their aptitudes, and the learner can find the most suitable learning method.

Claims

1. A digital language teaching system, comprising:

an audio control mainframe for controlling and managing audio inputs and outputs;

a teaching mainframe used by a teaching staff to manage the audio control mainframe;

a teaching sub-machine connected to the audio control mainframe for being used by the teaching staff to receive, listen and record sound; and

plural learning sub-machines connected to the audio control mainframe by group so as to be used by each learner to receive, listen and record sound.

2. The digital language teaching system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teaching sub-machine and the learning sub-machines each includes a headset for listening and receiving sound.

3. The digital language teaching system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teaching staff listens to voice files recorded by the learners in the teaching sub-machines through the teaching sub-machine.

4. The digital language teaching system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teaching staff imitates a telephone conversation with the learning sub-machines through the teaching sub-machine.

5. The digital language teaching system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teaching mainframe is further provided with a video signal from one of a teaching material data base and a broadcasting device through a video switching control system, and the sound from the teaching material data base and the broadcasting device is supplied to the audio control mainframe.

6. The digital language teaching system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teaching mainframe shows the teaching image through a large-scale video device and is connected to a loud speaker through the audio control mainframe.

7. The digital language teaching system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teaching mainframe is connected to plural interactive sub-machines, each of which has a display, for providing each learner on the displays a simultaneous teaching image and teaching pictures of interactive keyboard and mouse operation.

8. The digital language teaching system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the teaching mainframe is further connected to plural computers, each of which has a display, for providing each learner on the displays a simultaneous teaching image and teaching pictures of interactive keyboard and mouse operation.
