Abstract: In one aspect, the invention is directed to an interactive method for teaching a foreign language. The method includes displaying a translation of a target word selected by a user from a reading material, testing the user's assimilation of the target word, evaluating results of the testing to obtain an evaluation outcome; and adding the target word to an active vocabulary associated with the user or retaining the target word as unassimilated, depending on the evaluation outcome. Testing can be based on recognition or reproduction techniques. In preferred examples, the method further includes providing the reading material. In another aspect, the invention is related to a system for teaching a foreign language, the system including a link for requesting and receiving translation of a word from a global vocabulary and a module capable of generating drill exercises for prompting assimilation of the word.
