Abstract:
There has been a great deal of research on natural language representation and processing, but little or no significant research on building intelligent semantic dictionary systems. This paper presents research on evaluating our intelligent English semantic dictionary system and its suitability for teaching English language to school children and for its use as a translation system, especially for non-native English speakers. SEMANTIC dictionary system is an intelligent Object-Oriented (OO) eLearning system based on advanced UML. It contains English words, their translation to Arabic, associated actions, semantic relationships, inherited actions and attributes, special and exceptional relationships and other semantics and characteristics. SEMANTIC dictionary system was tested on the 6th class of an elementary school for girls in the Kingdom of Bahrain to evaluate its effectiveness in teaching English and for its level of contribution to students learning. The analysis of experimental results are very promising.
