Shadowing Practice: International Culture - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
in the past people would usually only mingle with people of similar cultures and backgrounds
2
in an increasingly global society it is becoming more common to have colleagues clients
3
and contacts from all corners of the globe
4
while this may herald a multitude of previously unheard of opportunities for businesses and individuals alike,
5
it also presents challenges.
6
When we are children, we are taught what is right and what is wrong.
7
We are taught how to act in specific situations and what to say and do around other people.
8
The challenge of a multicultural working environment is
9
that you may be dealing with people who were taught to say or do things differently than you when they were kids.
10
Does that mean that they're wrong?
11
No. But it does mean that an awareness of such issues can help make any cross -cultural exchange smoother and easier.
12
Recognizing and welcoming diversity is a key step towards true international business success.
13
And while we may not always agree with the way people from another culture do things in their day -to -day lives, it is important that we respect them.
14
One of the biggest challenges is not to make negative assumptions about people
15
if they do things differently from what you are used to.
16
If a Japanese contact is not comfortable with shaking hands, it doesn't mean that they don't want to touch you.
17
It simply shows that they are more used to greeting each other in a different way, by bowing.
18
If your Brazilian client is late for a meeting, it doesn't mean that you are not important to them.
19
It simply reflects the belief that arriving on time is rude.
20
Most Brazilians appreciate people who arrive after the allotted start time.
21
The world is a big place.
22
And there are a great many ways to do everything.
23
A little awareness of this can go a long way.

¿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.
