Shadowing Practice: Erikson’s 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development Explained - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
Ericsson's theory of psychosocial development identifies eight stages which a healthy individual should pass through from birth to death.
2
At each stage we encounter different needs, ask new questions and meet people who influence our behaviour and learning.
3
Stage 1.
4
Basic trust versus mistrust.
5
As infants we ask ourselves if we can trust the world and we wonder if it's safe.
6
We learn that if we can trust someone now, we can also trust others in the future.
7
If we experience fear, we develop doubt and mistrust.
8
The key to our development is our mother.
9
Stage 2.
10
Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt In our early childhood, we experience ourselves and discover our body.
11
We ask, is it okay to be me?
12
If we are allowed to discover ourselves, then we develop self-confidence.
13
If we are not, we can develop shame and self-doubt.
14
Both parents now play a major role.
15
Stage 3.
16
Initiative versus guilt.
17
In preschool, we take initiative, try out new things, and learn basic principles like how round things roll.
18
We ask, is it okay for me to do what I do?
19
If we are encouraged, we can follow our interests.
20
If we are held back or told that what we do is silly, we can develop guilt.
21
We are now learning from the entire family.
22
Stage 4.
23
Industry vs. Inferiority Now we discover our own interests and realize that we are different from others.
24
We want to show that we can do things right.
25
We ask if we can make it in this world.
26
If we receive recognition from our teachers or peers, we become industrious, which is another word for hard working.
27
If we get too much negative feedback, we start to feel inferior and lose motivation.
28
Our neighbors and schools now influence us the most.
29
Stage 5.
30
Identity vs Role Confusion During adolescence we learn that we have different social roles.
31
We are friends, students, children and citizens.
32
Many experience an identity crisis.
33
If our parents now allow us to go out and explore, we can find identity.
34
If they push us to conform to their views, we can face role confusion and feel lost.
35
Key to our learning are our peers and role models.
36
Stage 6.
37
Intimacy vs. Isolation.
38
As young adults we slowly understand who we are
39
and we start to let go of the relationships we had built earlier in order to fit in.
40
We ask ourselves if we can love.
41
If we can make a long term commitment, we are confident and happy.
42
If we cannot form intimate relationships, we might end up feeling isolated and lonely.
43
Our friends and partners are now central to our development.
44
Stage 7.
45
Generativity vs. Stagnation.
46
When we reach our 40s, we become comfortable, use our leisure time creatively, and maybe begin contributing to society.
47
Our concern is generativity.
48
If we think that we are able to lead the next generation into this world, we are happy.
49
If we did not resolve some conflicts earlier, we can become pessimistic and experience stagnation.
50
People at home and at work are now who influences the most.
51
Stage 8.
52
Ego Integrity vs. Despair As we grow older, we tend to slow down and begin to look back over our lives.
53
We ask, how have I done?
54
If we think we did well, we develop feelings of contentment and integrity.
55
If not, we can experience despair and become grumpy and bitter.
56
Time to compare us with mankind.
57
Eric Erickson was a German-American psychologist who, together with his wife Joan, became known for his work on psychosocial development.
58
He was influenced by Sigmund and Anna Freud and became famous for coining the phrase identity crisis.
59
Although Ericsson lacked even a bachelor's degree, he served as a professor at Harvard and Yale.
60
which would really help our channel.
61
If you work in a company, why not use them for internal training?
62
If you're a teacher or school, you can make your own lessons.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
