Abstract

This paper suggests designing how to acquire English vocabularies on the smart devices based on the research that a ground-breaking English Vocabulary Learning Contents needs developing. The method makes it possible to develop the contents which helps the learners to master English vocabularies effectively on the smart phone. The core idea of this paper is as in the following: 1) English learners learn 30 vocabularies for three minutes 10 times (one is for a new learning and the other nine ones are for reviews about the first learning) a day. 2) Considering Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, the reflection study proposes to provide the learners with three times' reviews: one day, 10days, and 30days later from which they learn the first 30 vocabularies. This contents is mainly made up of 5 developing sections (1)to generate App ID, (2)to access App, (3)to set up Alarm, (4)to process Word learning, and (5)to monitor the result of learning. This proposed idea is optimized to enhance the memory by Ebbinghaus Periodic Repetitive Method, which makes the learners satisfied with their English vocabulary learning.

본 연구에서는 영단어 학습 콘텐츠 개발 필요에 따른 새로운 스마트 영단어 암기방법을 설계 제안한다. 이 방법은 스마트 폰에서 효과적으로 영단어 학습을 지원하는 콘텐츠로 개발 가능하다. 본 연구의 핵심 아이디어는 첫째, 30개의 단어를 하루에 3분씩 10회(학습 1회 및 복습 9회)로 나누어 학습한다. 둘째, 망각주기를 고려하여 최초학습 1일 후, 10일 후, 30일 후 등의 3회 반추 복습을 제안한다. 본 콘텐츠의 개발과정은 크게 앱ID 생성부, 앱 접속부, 알람 설정부, 단어학습 처리부, 학습결과 모니터링부 등 5개의 단계로 이루어져 있다. 제안된 방법은 에빙하우스 주기적 반복 학습전략으로 최적화되어 있어 사용자의 영단어 학습 만족도를 높일 수 있다.
