Abstract

The field of Speech and Language Therapy has seen great success utilising a number of paper based systems to help young children experiencing difficulty in language acquisition and understanding language. These systems employ card and paper based illustrations which are combined to create scenarios for children in order to expose them to new vocabulary in context. While this success has encouraged the use of such a system for a long time, problems have been identified that need addressing. In this context, systems are desired to complement the structured therapy session, in order to aid the Speech and Language Professional (SLP). In response to this, a plethora of mobile apps have flooded the market. The majority of these apps attempt to mirror current paper based methods. In this paper, a prototype web application that aims to provide a novel solution to language learning in Speech and Language Therapy is presented. The system applies a learning algorithm derived from Spaced Repetition research, with a view to aid language retention, augmenting the memorisation process.

一个由间隔重复算法启发的移动多媒体应用程序，用于帮助语音和语言治疗

言语和语言治疗领域已经取得了巨大的成功，利用一些基于纸张的系统来帮助在语言习得和理解语言方面遇到困难的幼儿。这些系统采用卡片和纸为基础的插图，结合起来为孩子们创造场景，以便他们在语境中接触新的词汇。虽然这一成功鼓励了长期使用这种制度，但也发现了需要解决的问题。在这种情况下，系统需要补充结构化治疗会议，以帮助言语和语言专业人员(SLP)。为此，大量手机应用涌入市场。这些应用程序中的大多数都试图模仿当前基于纸张的方法。在本文中，一个原型的web应用程序，旨在提供一个新的解决方案，语言和语言治疗的语言学习。该系统采用了一种源自间隔重复研究的学习算法，旨在帮助语言记忆，增强记忆过程。
