1
Over the last century, the way zoos have created their environments for the animals has changed dramatically.
2
As we developed and our knowledge of animal care developed,
3
making much more stimulating habitats for the animals,
4
enriching the environments became very, very important.
5
Now we are moving very much into creating habitats that still have that enriched environment for the animal,
6
but also the enriched environment for the visitor,
7
so that we have moved from commercial to medical and care to actually now it's very much about connection.
8
We are connecting people through our animals and through our animal's environments.
9
Animals bring the best out of people.
10
Zoos have a great way to bridge that.
11
Immersive exhibits have been done for some time in zoos
12
but what's different about Land of Lions is the link that we provide from the zoos to the wild.
13
It's been very very important to us to make that fundamental link
14
that ZSL is working with animals and caring for animals in the zoo
15
but also caring for animals in Gujarat and the stories that we put around
16
here in the zoo about lions are from India
17
and how close they live to people is vitally important in terms of the messaging
18
and indeed the conservation work that we are doing.
19
We understand our world for our five senses so from what we see,
20
what we touch, what we smell, what we taste.
21
And so the no-barrier design process is very much about cutting out all barriers.
22
So, for example here, we've got vertical cables.
23
So once you're standing face to face with the animal,
24
you don't see the barrier at all.
25
But also, you smell the animal,
26
you can feel that low bass rumble,
27
which is truly transformational as a human to another animal.
28
Traditionally, spaces have been given over to visitors and operations more so than animals,
29
but that's moving dramatically over towards the animals.
30
And by creating immersive environments that we have here,
31
by the nature of visitors being inside the spaces,
32
but in the very nature then the animals have more space and all those benefits that come from there.
33
But when you get that virtual circle of the humans,
34
the visitors and the animals absolutely enjoying the environments together and
35
that enjoyment may also be a little bit of terror as well because we are hardwired to fear and vice versa,
36
which is interesting.
37
It's not meant to be a sort of a walk in the park as it were.
38
If you come face to face with a lion,
39
something should happen to you and something should happen to the animal.
40
So again, those things are very much considered with the balance of space
41
but particularly in urban zoos where you have this almost limited defined space
42
that becomes really a you know a primary consideration at the
43
very start of any project the other thing of course is
44
that you see animals from different vantage points
45
and that's a different experience altogether I mean we love being
46
even two meters higher as humans you know we ground well so being just high
47
that spectacular which is why we always want to stand on our toes and look.
48
But the other important thing we've tried to do here is actually get visitors in actually shot.
49
So it's not just an animal theatre as it were,
50
you've got actually people you know behind the animal and in
51
that way it sets off a very very different experience
52
and then again it comes back to that you know we're in the animals world as opposed to vice versa.
53
We do spend a lot of time
54
designing an environment that is flexible because animal personalities they do certainly have personalities
55
but they change so the important thing in every environment
56
that we design is flexibility
57
so the animals can choose where they go they can choose
58
the different substrates they want to be on they can choose
59
which area they want to be on they can also choose whether they want to be on show
60
or not if they want to get away from the visitors they can do one of our main
61
learning outcomes was that the UK audience understand how closely people in Gujarat,
62
in the Giyah forest, live alongside lions.
63
You can wake up in the morning with a lion in your backyard.
64
You really can.
65
But people live alongside them.
66
That is huge lessons for us in the UK.
67
If people in India can live alongside lions,
68
surely we can live alongside badgers.
69
Surely we can live alongside hedgehogs and not destroy their habitats but promote it.
70
So working to live alongside animals in a cooperative way,
71
we've got lessons to learn from elsewhere.
72
The vital role that zoos play in conservation is now recognised by conservation bodies across the globe,
73
and it is essential.
74
We are organisations that care not just for lions and tigers,
75
but for the freshwater fish,
76
for the snails, for the species that sometimes get ignored.
77
But zoos have an immense role to play in just connecting people with nature.
78
that ability to evoke emotions that people who might come to the zoo for a day out,
79
they leave just loving animals a little bit more.
80
And that is a huge,
81
huge role, especially when most of our zoos are in urban environments.

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, gli studenti avranno l'opportunità di praticare l'inglese attraverso un'affascinante esplorazione del mondo degli animali nel contesto degli zoo e dei loro habitat. I partecipanti approfondiranno le tecniche di shadowing, migliorando le loro capacità di ascolto e pronuncia mentre imparano a identificare i termini chiave legati alla conservazione e all'ambientazione degli animali. Utilizzando il video "Land of the Lions", gli studenti si confronteranno con il linguaggio descrittivo e le espressioni emozionali, strumenti essenziali per una pratica di conversazione in inglese efficace.

Consigli per la pratica

Quando ti avvicini alla pratica di conversazione in inglese, ti consigliamo di utilizzare la tecnica di shadowing. Inizia ascoltando il video con attenzione, notando il tono e la velocità del relatore. Dato che il video presenta un ritmo moderato, prova a ripetere le frasi dopo averle ascoltate, imitando il parlatore nel modo migliore possibile. Concentrati sulle emozioni comunicate e sul linguaggio descrittivo, questo non solo migliorerà la tua pronuncia, ma ti aiuterà anche a comprendere il contesto più profondo del discorso. Utilizza il metodo di shadowspeak per allenarti a riconoscere le diverse intonazioni; ad esempio, quando si parla di esperienze emozionanti come quelle legate agli animali, nota come il tono di voce possa cambiare. Inoltre, cerca di sperimentare con diverse prospettive imitando l'idea dei 'vantage points' menzionata nel video: questo ti permetterà di affrontare le frasi da angolazioni diverse, arricchendo la tua esposizione linguistica.

Praticare shadowing in inglese ti fornirà un vantaggio non solo nella pronuncia, ma anche nella costruzione di frasi più complesse e nella comprensione del linguaggio naturale. Non dimenticare di rivedere il video più volte, per assicurarti di interiorizzare il linguaggio usato e le connessioni tra gli argomenti trattati.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
