Best for Learning English
Dongsi English Company, also known by the brand name of "Jamak," or caption, and famous for its MP Look series, was selected for the best brand in the category of language-learning materials.
The MP Look series, consisting of ambitious digital audio and video devices aimed at simultaneous interpretation, was first released in December 2002, acquiring not only a domestic patent but also an international one under the patent cooperation treaty (PCT).
The company, which has been producing English learning materials for more than a decade, introduced the world's first MP3 caption player. While first targeting young students, it has gained popularity among all levels of the population, being used by anyone eager to improve their English skills.
As can easily be inferred from the brand name MP Look, devices from the series combine two essential functions of effective English learning: reading and listening.
MP Look players are equipped with a data-searching function as well as having the ability to repeat previous blocks as required. Recording one's own voice to make a comparison with original pronunciation also helps to develop the abilities of learners.
With 256 MB built-in memory, a voice recording function, WMA and MP audio file eligibility, an FM radio receiver and a portable disc for storage, MP Look players have everything a brand-new MP3 player could boast of. The digital sound quality is equal to that of an average CD player and firmware upgrading through UBS is of course available, while the refined silver-lined slim design is another factor making the device attractive to potential users. And after all, it weighs only 51g including battery, and measures only 80mm x 42.6mm x 17.3mm.
Also, "Look Sync" is a system with patent rights held by the company. With MP Look, it can provide the words of various pop songs real-time, enabling learners to sing along and have fun while learning English expressions at the same time.
"In addition to the diverse functions of the player, customers can also download a variety of English learning materials from Dongsi's website for free when they buy one," Roh Young-hoon, an executive member of the company, said. "It would be a good opportunity to possess the latest MP3 player and digital language learning device and of course, master a foreign language," he added.
Dongsi English Company not only holds several domestic and international patent rights regarding cassette tapes and MP3 caption players, but also provides a wide range of contents for English learning. These include "Dream TOEIC" and "GET2," special online programs aiming at preparing learners for official English tests such as TOEIC or TEPS. The company also publishes three monthly magazines for English learners at different levels, while Tell Me More, a two-level(junior and senior) caption program, specializes in improving conversational skills.
"자막" 또는 "캡션"이라는 상품명과 MPLook 시리즈로 유명한 (주)동시영어사가 어학학습물 부문 베스트브랜드로 뽑혔다.
동시번역이 되도록 야심적으로 제작된 MPLook 시리즈는 디지털 오디오와 비디오가 결합된 기계로 2002년 12월 처음 출시되었으며 국내 특허권을 획득했을 뿐만 아니라 특허협력조약(PCT)에 의한 국제 특허권도 따냈다.
지난 10여 년간 영어학습물을 제작해 온 동시영어사가 이제 처음으로 MP3캡션기를 세상에 선보였다. 처음에는 신세대 학생들이 주 고객이었으나, 영어능력 향상에 열렬한 학습자라면 누구나 사용하게 됨으로써 다양한 계층의 사람들로부터 인기를 얻게 되었다.
MPLook이라는 상품명으로 쉽게 추리해 낼 수 있듯이 이 MP3 기계는 영어학습에 있어서 필수적인 2가지 기능이 결합되어 있는데, 그것은 바로 읽기와 듣기이다.
MPLook 캡션기는 자료검색 기능에서부터 이전 화면을 반복해서 볼 수 있는 기능까지 갖춰져 있다. 또한 자신의 목소리를 녹음함으로써 원어민의 발음과 비교할 수 있어서 듣기 능력 향상에 도움이 된다.
MPLook 캡션기에는 256MB 내장 메모리, 녹음기능, WMA 및 MP용 오디오파일 지원, FM 라디오 수신, 그리고 저장용 외장 디스크 등 여느 최신식 MP3라면 지닐 수 있는 모든 기
