Foreign Language Learning Based on Video Scenes

摘要

There are many media players that can combine videos with independent caption files. It is hence proposed that the foreign language caption should be expanded to a text containing also a list of key words appeared in the caption, followed by their definitions, memory skills and so on. The approach to learn foreign language based on a mixture of video scenes and related text is called VST. The details of VST system are presented. Based on the vocabulary of CET-4 and CET-6, we give a lexical analysis of some English language videos with C computer programs. Furthermore, a concordance of CET-4 vocabulary based on videos is given. Finally, it is concluded that watching TV shows and movies based on VST can stimulate interest in learning, and provide a sustained way to master English well, thus is a good example of quality education and lifelong learning.
