ADAPTIVE GRAMMAR INSTRUCTION FOR SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT

摘要

Techniques are described for an automated grammar teaching system that displays sentences and allows a user to identify subject-verb agreement errors within the sentences, if any. The sentences may be presented as single sentences or as part of a paragraph. The user may be asked to determine whether the sentences are correct or incorrect, to identify the locations of verbs that should agree with a subject of the sentence, to identify the core noun that determines whether the subject is singular or plural, and to provide a new verb that agrees with the subject. To guide the user, user responses may trigger the display of remediation information, which may include identifying one or more grammar elements of the sentences that are relevant to identifying the subject-verb agreement errors. New sentences in the teaching system may be selected based on historical data maintained for the user.

1. A computer-executed method comprising:
displaying a graphical user interface that is generated by an automated grammar teaching system that is executing, at least in part, on a computing device; depicting a natural language sentence on the graphical user interface; receiving input information, from a user, which indicates whether the natural language sentence includes a subject-verb agreement error; determining, by the automated grammar teaching system, whether the input information is correct; in response to determining that the input information is incorrect for the natural language sentence, the automated grammar teaching system performing one or more of:
communicating that the input information is incorrect,communicating a request for second input information indicating whether the natural language sentence includes a subject-verb agreement error, ordisplaying remediation information for the natural language sentence.
