Creando lección...
1
Unit 3.
2
Be a musical boost.
3
Is there a connection between music and language?
4
According to recent studies, the answer is yes.
5
Music boosts certain language abilities in the brain.
6
Here are two examples, music and hearing.
7
B. A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.
8
As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.
9
The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training.
10
The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
11
See musicians here better, says study leader Nina Krauss, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.
12
Think about violinists in an orchestra.
13
When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others too
14
but the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore the other sounds.
15
In this way, musicians are able to concentrate on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
16
Music and speech.
17
D. Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke patients.
18
Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses or other information normally.
19
However, they can still sing.
20
Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to eventually speak.
21
Why does this work?
22
Schlaug isn't sure.
23
Music seems to activate different parts of the brain, including the damaged parts.
24
This somehow helps patients use those parts of the brain again.
25
Understanding the results.
26
E-music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.
27
It can even help sick people get better.
28
playing an instrument or singing says Nina Kraus can help us do better in school
29
and keep our brain sharp as we get older music therefore
30
is not only enjoyable it's also good for us in many other ways

¿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.
