Hello everyone and welcome back to English Fluency Teacher.
2
Welcome to episode one of our A1 to C2 English Shadowing course.
3
We're beginning at A1 level.
4
So this lesson is for learners who are starting to speak English
5
and want to become comfortable using simple sentences in real conversations.
6
And because this is the first episode of the course,
7
we're starting with one of the most useful situations in English, meeting someone new.
8
Imagine it's your first day at an English class.
9
You don't know anyone.
10
You sit next to another student.
11
What can you say?
12
You may want to introduce yourself, ask someone's name, say where you're from,
13
talk about your family, talk about your work or studies,
14
ask about hobbies, talk about food,
15
discuss your daily routine, and make a simple plan to meet again.
16
That's exactly what we're going to practice.
17
Today's lesson has two main parts.
18
In part one, you'll listen to a longer real -life conversation between
19
Emma and Sophia.
20
Don't repeat during part one, just listen.
21
Try to understand as much as you can.
22
You do not need to understand every word.
23
Then in part two, we'll go through the same conversation again.
24
This time, I'll say each sentence once and you'll repeat it once.
25
Because this is A1 level, the sentences will be short and clear.
26
Part 1.
27
Listen to the conversation.
28
Remember, listen only.
29
Don't repeat yet.
30
Follow Emma and Sophia through their first day at English class.

¿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.
