Section 4.
2
You will hear a talk at a university open day to students interested in following a course in textiles and business studies.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages 7 and 8.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
Thank you, first of all, for coming along to the university's Open Day, and in particular for coming to this talk to find out
7
about our course in textiles with business studies the cooperation between the Faculty of Arts
8
and Architecture and the business faculty enables us to offer this undergraduate
9
and integrated master's course in the five years this course has been running we've learned a lot
10
and it's become very popular now thanks to the Faculty of
11
Engineering we're also able to offer a really exciting opportunity to those who would like to further diversify
12
and would like to carry their learning through into new disciplines.
13
Now, the aims of this course are firstly to create innovative and highly motivated textile practitioners within the disciplines of knitted textiles,
14
an increasingly popular area as you will have seen on the catwalks, printed and of course woven textiles.
15
Secondly, we also ensure that our students gain an in-depth knowledge
16
and understanding of related business operations we make sure
17
that our students have sufficient hands-on experience by arranging interesting
18
and relevant work placements the focus of the integrated component of
19
the work placement is the global market our aim is to
20
locate studio work in this increasingly important context moving on to
21
what we do in each year in the first year students
22
explore the three subject areas of textiles in rotation the emphasis for the first year is experimentation
23
and we ask for evidence of visual research
24
which must be supported by documentation and proposals for its application in year two design
25
and technical skills are related to the real world unlike many
26
other university textile courses these days we give our students the
27
opportunity to choose an extra module on the traditional processes of design which gives a historical perspective on their work.
28
This can be done before introducing students to computer-aided design.
29
Students at this point, year two, decide if they intend to complete the course at year three with a BA ONS
30
or progress to year four and conclude with a Masters in Design.
31
Students can also have tutorials if they feel they need help making this important decision.
32
This reflects our commitment to student support at all times.
33
Year three consolidates the knowledge gained using a particular learning style.
34
It's called reflective practice.
35
That means you look back on what you've done and analyse and evaluate your subject in both academic and professional contexts.
36
This helps and encourages deeper understanding.
37
Students produce a dissertation on a topic of their own choosing and a portfolio of their textile collection.
38
Also, to help underpin the commercial aspect of the course, we ask for a business plan.
39
On the subject of career opportunities, many graduates work directly within the textile business,
40
with careers commonly found as stylists and retail managers.
41
However, it shouldn't be forgotten that there are many other exciting opportunities out there, for example, careers in journalism,
42
for those with a flair for words or trend forecasting for those with their eye on the future.
43
We are certain that we shall see broader and more varied opportunities for our graduates.
44
If you like what you've heard today
45
and are thinking of applying for the program and you'd like to talk to us further, please come back tomorrow.
46
You'll have the opportunity to do a brief interview where we'll be able to assess your aptitude for this subject area.
47
Many students who haven't studied related subjects may be surprised to find that they're quite well suited to our program.
48
After that, of course, you'll need to go through the usual application procedures.
49
That is the end of Section 4.
50
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
51
Thank you.

¿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.
