Abstract: A learning system and method applies computer network and achieves an online language learning through integration of local learning and remote companion oral practice. The local user selects a curriculum topic from a database for learning. A user-mating module establishes network connections according to the online user status. A curriculum-coding module encodes the characteristics of the curriculum contents and transfers the characteristic codes to the remote user site. A curriculum-decoding module at the remote user site receives and decodes the characteristic codes to generate correspondent curriculum pages. A page synchronization module returns and updates the curriculum pages for the users. Therefore, the local and remote users take oral practices on the curriculum pages through audio/video communication.

Abstract: A conversion method for multi-language multi-code databases is disclosed. The method checks the original database file and confirms its type. The fields and the code type of the original database file are analyzed. The data in the fields are extracted. The data of each field are used to generate a new data file, which is converted to the local code for storage. It overcomes the problems and troubles of editing programs and using materials in different language and code types.

Abstract: A computer game combined progressive language learning system and method is disclosed. During playing process in playing mode, the system can activate corresponding learning process in learning mode through active or passive triggered events. Accordingly, the system combines playing and learning completely by the triggered events, and can adjust playing and learning modes progressively according to learning records and evaluation results. Thus users can get fully learning during playing.
