言語自習におけるロボット読み手と質問者
ROBOT READER & Questioner in Self-Learning of Language
寺田方式においては、叙述文と質問文の中に既に理論的に答えが入っています。従って学習者はその質問に答えたいという衝動を抑制できない事になります。それは大きな絵の中に隠されている小さな絵を見つけ出す遊びに似ています。学習者は、質問文に答えるだけです。学習者は叙述文と質問文を暗記する必要はありません。学習効果は、学習者が集団の場合は、学習者席番リストの使用で、又学習者が自習する場合は、ロボット質問者としての ReadPleaseb
の使用で、明確に分かります。
ReadPlease
をロボット読み手及び質問者として、寺田方式ではどのように使用しているのか、下記に説明します。
In Terada Method statements and questions already have answers logically in them. So a learner becomes unable to keep down his impulses to answer the questions. It is like having a play of looking for small pictures in a large picture, where they are hided. And all a learner has to do is to answer these questions and he is kept from having statements and questions by heart. These learning effects are made clear by the use of a list of learners' seat Nos. when there are groups of learners and by the use of ReadPlease
as a robot questioner when a learner does the self-learning of English.
In the following an account is given of how to use ReadPlease as a
robot reader & questioner in Terada Method.
下記に例として、 L.W. Lockhart 著 The Basic Teacher の私のガイドのステップ４ At The Station の一部を示します。一つの叙述文と二つの質問文と二つの答文が示されています。
A statement, two questions, and two answers are given below for example which are a part of Step 4 AT THE STATION in my guide as per Terada Method to The Basic Teacher by L.W. Lockhart.
I go to my office in a train.
Where do I go ?
You go to your office.
How do I go ?
You go in a train.
自習の場合、学習者は "You go to your office." を隠し "Where do I go ?" という質問に対し、 "You go to your office." と答えられるかどうか、試してみたいと思います。もし "You go to your office." と答えるのが難しければ、その時まで隠していた "You go to your office." を見たいと思います。このようにして好きな時に "You go to your office." が出たり消えたり出来て、 "I go to my office in a train. Where do I go ?" をアメリカン音声で発生して貰えれば、学習者にとって大変役に立つことになります。 How do I go ? " "You go in a train." と答える時も、同じことが言えます。
In his self-learning a learner wants to hide "You go to your office." and then see if he is able to say "You go to your office." in answer to "Where do I go ?" But if he finds it hard to say "You go to your office." he wants to look at "You go to your office.", which has been hided till then. Thus if he is able to let "You go to your office." appear and disappear as he likes and "I go to my office in a train. Where do I go ?" are American voiced, it will be a great help to him The same thing is able to be said when "You go in a train." is given in reply to " How do I go ?

You click the Selection button on Left Side Tool Bar. Then the speaker's voice talks "I go to my office in a train. Where do I go ? The mask is cleared in the same way as above mentioned.
貴方は "You go to your office." と答えます。答えが正しいかどうか知るために、上部ツールバー (TopTool Bar) の編集をクリックし、表示された下降メニューの中の"Undo"をクリックします。すると下記に示す様に "You go to your office." が表れます。

Every time you click "Undo" and "Redo", Undo lets words appear and Redo lets them disappear though the words have to be cleared at first by clicking "Clear" in the Edit pull down menu.
"How do I go ?"に対する"You go in a train."
という答えの練習は上記と同じ操作で行います。しかし、選定は下記に示す様に "How do I go ?" 迄行います。選定は飛び越しが出来ないからです。 ピーカーの声が "How do I go ?" の最後まで来た時に "You go in a train.", と答えます。 "You go in a train.", は隠されていたのが、いま表示したという状況を下記が示していると考えてください。
I go to my office in a train.
Where do I go ?
You go to your office.
You go in a train.
The operation is the same as above mentioned when you do the practice to answer "You go in a train." in reply to "How do I go ?" But the selection has to be made until "How do I go ?" is masked as shown below because selection is unable to jump. When the speaker's voice comes to the end of "How do I go ?" you try to answer, "You go in a train.", which was hid but now you let out as shown below to see if your answer is correct.
I go to my office in a train.
Where do I go ?
You go to your office.
How do I go ?
Yougo in a train.
会話をプリントした紙上で各答文を紙の小片で隠しながら自習するよりも、クリップボード上の当面の答えの文字を除く文字を見て ReadPlease からの声を聞きながら自習する方が良いと思います。何故ならクリップボード上の文字に対するよりも、自然に声音に多く注意が行くからです。結果として恰も文字を見ないで自習しているかのように感じます。
The self-learning is better when it is done with a look at letters except the letters of each present answer in Clipboard and your hearing of the voice to come from ReadPlease than the self-learning which you do by hiding each answer under a bit of card on a page where the conversation is printed. It is because you naturally give more attention to the sound of voice than to letters on Clipboard and so you feel as if you were self-learning without looking at letters.
クリップボードに貼り付けされた字は総て My Readings に保存されます。このために、トップのツールバーのフアイルをクリックして下降メニュの中の“名前を付けて save （保存）”をクリックします。すると My Readings のフアイル保存の窓が見えます。この窓でフアイル名ボックスにフアイル名を入力して、フアイル名ボックスの隣にある保存ボタンをクリックすると、入力した フアイル名で My Readings に保存されます。フアイル下降メニュの （開く）をクリックすると My Readings のフアイルの窓が開きます。その窓に保存してあるフアイル名をクリックして 選定してから （開く）ボタンをクリックすると、クリップボードに保存されているフアイルが開きます。
All the letters pasted to Clipboard are able to be saved in My Readings. For this you click "Save As" in File pull down menu which you get click "File" on Top Tool Bar. Then you will see a window to save files in My Readings. In the window you put a file name in the file name box and then you click "Save" button which you see next to the file name box. Then the so named file is saved in My Readings. If you click "Open" in the File pull down menu, you see a window to open any one of files in My Readings. Then you see the file name, which you saved, in the window. You click the file name there and click "Open" button down there. Then the saved file is opened in Clipboard.
上記のデーターをコッピして貼り付ける方法は、オフライン同志の窓間又オンライン窓からオフライン窓へデータをコッピイする場合に一般に使用されています。オフラインの窓はインターネットには接続出来ません。オンラインの窓とはその窓がインターネットに接続されている場合の窓を指します。
The above mentioned way of copying data and pasting them is commonly done from one window off line to another window off line or from one window on line to another window off line. A window off line is in a condition in which the window is not connected to internet. A window on line is that the window is connected to internet.
字の大きさと話者の話しの速さは右側のスライドツールバー上のボタンをクリックし 所定の範囲内で希望する量だけクリックボタンを摺動して調節出来ます。
Font and the speaker's talk speed are able to be adjusted by clicking Buttons on Right Side Tool Bar and sliding the clicked buttons by an amount, which you want, within a fixed range.
ストップとポーズボタンは左のスライドツールバー上にあります。ストップボタンはクリックするとスピーカーの音声を停止します。ポーズボタンはクリックすると音声を一時停止させ、再クリックすると音声が止まった場所から続きの音声が始まります。
Stop and Pause buttons are on Left Side Tool Bar. The click of Stop button puts a stop to the speaker's voice. The click of Pause button stops the speaker's voice and the reclick of Pause button gets the voice started from where the voice came to a stop.
右側ツールバーの右又は左向きの印を選んで、選んだ右或いは左向き印をクリックすれば音声者 を変更出来ます。
A change is made in speakers by choosing either right or left directed Sign and clicking the hosenSign in the either right or left direction on Right Side Tool Bar.
無料 ReadPlease は言語の自習の際、ロボット読み手と質問者として使用できます。但し 有料 ReadPlease より音声は自然さがありません。
Free ReadPlease is able to be used as a robot reader & questioner for the above mentioned self-learning though it gives less natural voice than charged Read Please Natural Voice.
ReadPlease のより良い使用は ReadPlease に入力する内容に依存します。寺田方式にもとずくデータは、自習する場合に、学習者が操作できる興味ある会話ロボットとして ReadPlease を働かせます。
It is certain that any better use of ReadPlease is totally dependent on what data we are able to put in ReadPlease. The data as per Terada Method makes ReadPlease work as an interesting conversation robot controlled by a learner for his self-learning.
