| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | It would be practical to improve listening skills of foreign languages by learning English in the environments that are close to our everyday listening situations. This paper reports an e-learning system which focuses on learning scientific English in noise and reverberation. The purposes of the e-learning system are 1) to help users to learn scientific English and 2) to improve English listening comprehension in our everyday listening condition. Thirty-four students in the Faculty of Science and Technology evaluated the system by word identification tests of scientific technical terms in four types of babble noise and two types of reverberation. Results of the listening tests showed that the correct rate in noisy or reverberant condition was lower than that without noise and reverberation. The results suggest that listening skill learned only in the condition without noise and reverberation would not hold true in our everyday listening situations. Our system instead suggests that it would help non-native listeners to improve speech intelligibility if foreign languages are learned in noise and reverberation. | |
