项目摘要

Reading inevitably depends on perception or visual efficiencies of readers. We investigated the word recognition speed of visually impaired college students who studied English as a foreign language to develop assistive software of English learning compensating for their visual problems. The subjects have difficulties in visual acuity and also in their visual field. Compared with good readers we found two types of slow readers in our subjects. Good readers with normal vision and one type of low vision group (LV1) can read words in almost the same time period independent of their length. The rates of lps (letters per second) increased linearly with word length. The lps of the other type of low vision (LV2), however, were constant. This means that their reading time of individual words increases according to the length of words. Reading is stressful work especially for the latter type of low vision students. Then we have developed reading support software called ‘readKON' equipped with a … More speech synthesis device. The readKON was tested for the two groups of low vision readers. The time of decoding each word shortened for both groups, and the number of words they read accurately increased. The results show that the readKON is applicable to English learning of any type of slow readers with visual impairments. Secondly, we conducted a trial study to develop a scholastic test by voice for English, for the visually impaired who lack the skill of Braille reading. Voice tests were given in three versions ; synthesized voice which was automatically transformed from text, narrated digital recording operated by the testees themselves with computer, and DAISY. Subjects could answer tall three types of the test by themselves. Listening strategies, e.g., spelling-out of words, repeat listening, jumping between chapters, multi-language voice synthesis listening, and speed listening were observed. The evaluations by the experimentees, regarding the sound quality, was higher for human voice. Operational performance and the evaluation for the user-friendliness of the tests depended on the skill and experience of the testees. Finally we conducted two types of English listening comprehension test to Braille user. One was EIKEN Japan's Leading Language Assessment for English proficiency, the other was a trial test for English listening comprehension for college applicants by the National Center for University Entrance Examinations. We observed Braille users were weak in parallel processing of listening and reading of English than sighted cause of allocation difficulties of cognitive resource. Less

阅读不可避免地取决于读者的感知或视觉效率。我们调查了学习英语作为外语的视障大学生的单词识别速度，以开发弥补其视力问题的英语学习辅助软件。受试者的视力和视野都有困难。与好的读者相比，我们在我们的研究对象中发现了两种类型的慢读者。视力正常的优秀读者和一种低视力群体（LV1）可以在几乎相同的时间段内阅读单词，而与单词的长度无关。 lps（每秒字母数）的速率随字长线性增加。然而，另一种类型的低视力 (LV2) 的 lps 是恒定的。这意味着他们阅读单个单词的时间随着单词的长度而增加。阅读是一项压力很大的工作，尤其对于后一类弱视学生来说。然后我们开发了名为“readKON”的阅读支持软件，配备了语音合成设备。 readKON 针对两组低视力读者进行了测试。两组的解码每个单词的时间都缩短了，并且他们准确阅读的单词数量增加了。结果表明，readKON 适用于任何类型的阅读速度慢且有视觉障碍的英语学习。其次，我们进行了一项试验研究，为缺乏盲文阅读技能的视障人士开发英语语音学术测试。语音测试分为三个版本；由文本自动转换成的合成语音、被测试者自己用电脑操作的数字录音旁白以及DAISY。受试者可以自己回答三种类型的测试。观察单词拼读、重复听、章节跳转、多语言语音合成听、快速听等听力策略。实验者对音质的评价中，人声的评价更高。测试的操作性能和用户友好性的评估取决于测试者的技能和经验。最后我们对盲文用户进行了两种类型的英语听力测试。一个是EIKEN日本领先的英语水平语言评估，另一个是国家高考中心针对大学申请者的英语听力测试。我们观察到盲文用户在英语听力和阅读的并行处理方面较弱，这是导致认知资源分配困难的原因。较少的
