Professor Kuniyoshi Sakai of the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and Global Vision Technology, an IT company, have begun joint research on the development of the world's first brain science English training app.At the same time, we will clarify the effects of the new English training method on the brain and verify the effects.
According to the University of Tokyo, the joint research will develop a method of learning a language most naturally by intensively training to generate sentences as a training method using a brain science approach.
Professor Sakai has research achievements in different fields such as biophysics, neuroscience, and linguistics, and found that grammatical judgment is common to both Japanese and English at the grammar center in the frontal lobe of the left brain. There is.
I think that if you develop and use a method that works directly on the grammar center, you will be able to learn English in a more natural way, so we focused on training to generate sentences.With a large number of bilingual engineers, we decided to develop an app that allows training on smartphones, along with Global Vision Technology, which supports the globalization of companies.
It is said that the English proficiency of Japanese people has been low for many years, and the ranking of English proficiency in various countries around the world continues to decline without the effect of the reform of English education.Professor Sakai believes that a new training method is needed to drastically improve this.
