Most students in this college study in Brighton Summer School during the summer holidays and really enjoy it.
104
So, I'm going to tell you a bit about their summer school.
105
Courses start on the 20th of June so you can choose any date that suits you until August the 15th.
106
Most students choose courses in the middle of July as the weather's better then.
107
Courses are available for students who are between 18 and 25 years old.
108
But to work there as an assistant during your studies, you have to be at least 22.
109
You don't need to be good at sports or other languages, but they need you to speak good English.
110
That's because all classes will be in English.
111
Each day you'll get some homework and during your time there you'll need to do two group projects, one each week.
112
If you're interested, you need to email me at jessiejones at email.com.

214
Your teacher has called us and she wanted us to tell her why you're always so tired.

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.
