I'm pleased to release a document studying theories, systems and designs of native language-driven foreign language learning.
Key points:
"L1-driven L2 teaching" is a method which lets a browser extension insert foreign language micro-lessons into the native language Web page you're browsing. It can be further divided into two paradigms:
(1) "Topic-oriented teaching" is to insert foreign language micro-lessons relevant to the topic of the Web page you're browsing.
(2) "Word-oriented teaching" is to insert foreign language micro-lessons, each specifically targeting a certain word of the Web page you're browsing.
Obviously, word-oriented teaching will involve word sense disambiguation (a technique in natural language processing and machine translation), while topic-oriented teaching doesn't.
Both will be the future of second language teaching. Read the complete document: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnx5YW96aXl1YW58Z3g6MWVlYmY5NTU1Y2JjZTI2
