So is the course living up to your expectations?

Yes, I have no real issues with it, really.

I wasn't sure initially whether I'd like the fact

that there's this mixture of classes with the group and one-to-one sessions online with the tutors.

But actually, I've come round to thinking it's the real strength of the course.

Don't you agree?

Undoubtedly.

I mean, that's why I went for it in the first place.

It's nice to meet the staff and other students, but it's the personal attention by email that you want.

Although I must say, some of the staff are more helpful than others.

But the group lessons are useful too.

Oh yes.

Some people complained about the fact that you get face-to-face feedback on project work in them, that it wastes class time.

But I have no problem with that.

But the sessions are the only chance we get to use some of the more sophisticated software.

I mean, they did make it clear in the pre-course information that we'd only have limited access to that.

but I still think it's a shame we can't come in and use it out of class time.

Yes, I agree.

Now play the recording again.

So, basically, as a seasoned traveller, you must have got packing off to a fine art.

I'm not that great at travelling light, simply because anything can, and often does, happen, and I like to feel fully prepared.

So I'm a complete sucker for gadgets and gizmos, and I have a bag load of stuff that I take with me.

I'm still looking for the ideal rucksack or carry-on actually.

And of course I've always got my iPod for those long days on the road

when you don't know how long you might be hanging around waiting for transport.

So what have you learnt from travelling?

Well, I guess it's a cliché, but the more you see of other cultures, the more you come to appreciate your own.

I don't mean that I miss the comforts of home or anything like that.

More that I've got the opportunity to travel and see the world, because I've got folks back home in a wealthy Western culture to pick up the tab if things go wrong.

I mean, without that, and a lot of people you meet don't have that, would I ever have had the courage to do half the things I've done?

I doubt it somehow.

Now, play the recording again.

Now, you've come in for a lot of stick, haven't you?

In response to your latest album.

Everyone went nuts about the cover.

We knew it might cause some controversy, but I didn't think it was that outrageous.

We just had this slogan which read, No cover art, like the Beatles did the White Album all those years ago.

The first one with no picture on the cover.

But predictably, I guess, we got all these irate bloggers going overboard in dismissing it, and one newspaper included it in a list of the worst album covers ever.

Actually, I reckon it's quite endearing the way it was done.

But is this because these people don't like the music?

Well, there is a certain snobbery out there, and I reckon these are people who don't regard us as cool or whatever, but I don't think that's what lies behind it, actually.

I reckon the problem stemmed from the fact that we were misquoted in the first piece written about it.

It said that I wanted to kill album artwork, which is just so far off the mark.

What we actually wanted to do was draw people's attention to it, for them to have a look round and see that it's mostly rubbish.

Now play the recording again.

That is the end of part one.

Now turn to part two.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
