It would be nice if there was a video archive of tv documentaries or
movies or similar interesting stuff (science, art, technology,
culture, etc..) with subtitles (and audio overdubs) in various
languages, in a kind of similar site like youtube.
Often online webarchives in various countries are trying to prevent
their site from being ripped, but if individual users can contribute
such stuff to a site with a youtube or wikipedia user-input-based
structure, it could be a great resource for language learning I
imagine.
Also, I wonder if computers could help learning language passively
(like while being engaged in other activities to some degree) by
optimizing the interaction with human memory by repeating audio or
video fragments (combinations of words or sentences in a language
you
know and one you want to learn) at increasing intervals in an optimal
way. Often at school I used to learn things by simply repeating them
(for instance a list of words) in the same order or varying the order
somewhat, but perhaps you can learn things more efficiently by
exposing yourself randomly to elements from a set of things you want
to memorize, by repeating those elements over increasing intervals of
time. Is there any research suggesting there are certain optimal
increasing intervals that are applicable to human (language) learning? |
