Software Solution to the Integration of

Teaching and Learning in and out of Class

　We are going to show software that integrates classroom teaching with individualized learning. The software, Multimedia Player Mint, in a classroom, shows a powerful presentation mode adaptable to language teaching, unlike PowerPoint adaptable to business use. That mode offers a synchronous reproduction of text, audio, picture, and movie, with highlighted and colored texts, and drawing tools like a chalkboard. And, in and out of class, Mint shows its distinctive feature of automatic quiz creation, which facilitates students’ repeated practices, and which reduces a teacher’s workload. This multifunctional software will be very effective to use for multimedia language learning integration.

Phonics Rhymes

　Phonics teaching in Japan has had its problems when put to practical use. Students who grow up in an English speaking environment can easily associate the sounds with the alphabet letters; however, to other students, who lack the early years exposure to these sounds, find it difficult in recalling them. These students need a better method in remembering those foreign sounds which lead to reading. We have developed a program that uses phonics in a blend of vowels and consonants. This sight-reading approach is set in a rhythmical cadence for the students to practice. We call this program PHONICS RHYMES.

　Phonics in general is stringing together of individual letter sounds to form the basis for reading words. However, the Japanese language often end their words in a vowel unlike the consonant sounds of English words. Here, we have a major pronunciation dilemma. How do we get the students to understand the subtle adjustments necessary in putting phonics to use. Our approach to this issue was to emphasize the familiar vowel sounds and naturally introduce the consonants in a set of rhymes. This PHONICS RHYMES program puts together two-three letter blends beginning with a vowel and ending them with a consonant. The students would repeat these blends twice followed by three words that rhymes with them. There are five steps in this program.

　The 1st step is going through a set of words with large illustrations much like shuffling flash cards.
　The 2nd step is to repeat the same set but with the letters as the main focus with or without the illustrations accompanying them.
　The 3rd step is to show the blends along with three illustrations that rhymes with it in a cadence form.
　The 4th step is to show the entire list of words and blends on one page and have them follow along with the audio example.
　The final 5th step is to read sentences that incorporates those words and patterns they have practiced.
　Each step takes less than 30 seconds; therefore, it would not cause any disruption to most curriculum in use in the classroom today.
