Daily stand-up meetings, they can be terrifying for someone with basic English skills
2
and that's because talking in front of other people
3
and being the center of attention while you're explaining something in English
4
when you don't feel confident doing so can be a real challenge.
5
What is a daily stand-up meeting?
6
A daily stand-up meeting is a short meeting
7
that lasts for about 15 minutes and it's meant to plan for the next 24 hours.
8
It helps the team be on the same page
9
because it creates an understanding of what everyone in the team is working on.

11
and place and it's called stand-up because people are usually Standing up to keep the energy high.
12
That's very important.
13
These kind of meetings.
14
They have to be Short and in sharp and you have to focus and contribute
15
Daily stand-up meetings can be held in two ways
16
The first method is called round robin
17
and in this method people are sitting in a circle and they go one by one answering three questions.
18
What did I work on yesterday?
19
What am I working on today?
20
And what is blocking me?
21
We're going to go back to these questions later in the video.
22
The other method is called walking the board
23
and in this method there's a board with all the tasks
24
and each team member stands and picks the tasks they're working on
25
and I talk about the progress they made and the blockers
26
and other people in the team can offer to help with those blockers to help this person make progress.
27
What is the challenge with these stand-up meetings?
28
Well, if English is not your first language and you're struggling a little bit with English,
29
you may face two main challenges.
30
The first one is not knowing how to say what you want to say.
31
And the second one is not paying attention to what the other people are saying
32
because you're too worried about what you have to say.
33
And if you do that,
34
you're missing the point of the daily standard meeting.
35
So how do you avoid that?
36
By preparing your answers to the three questions that we mentioned before.
37
Let's see how to do that.
38
How do you answer these questions?
39
To answer these questions, the first thing
40
that you have to take into account is the tense that you use to answer them.
41
So for example, to answer the question,
42
what did I work on yesterday?
43
You have to use the simple past and say something like,
44
yesterday I worked on this and that.
45
To answer the question, what am I working on today?
46
You can use the future and say something like,
47
today I will work on this and that or today I am going to work on this and that.
48
You can also use the future continues and say,
49
today I will be working on this and that.
50
And you can also use a simple present and say,
51
today my plan is to do this and that.
52
Now, how do you answer the question, what is blocking me?
53
Well, here you can use the simple present and say,
54
my main block or my main impediment is this and that
55
and you can also use the present continuous
56
and say what is blocking me
57
or what is preventing me from making progress is this and that let me give you some concrete examples
58
yesterday i worked on a bug that was causing the invoice price not to have gst included
59
Today I'm going to work on generating a PDF receipt.
60
What's blocking me is the integration with Xero because I'm waiting for the credentials.
61
Yesterday I worked on getting the survey responses from the provider.
62
Today I will finish that and start working on the address validator component.
63
Nothing is currently blocking me.
64
Yesterday, I worked on the test scripts for the ordering flow.
65
Today, I will start the test automation for invoice generation.
66
I can't move forward with testing in Pre-Prod because I'm waiting for that environment to be set up.
67
So when other person is talking about what's blocking them,
68
you can offer to help.
69
And for that, you can use several expressions.
70
For example, you can say,
71
I can help you out with that,
72
or I can give you a hand with that,
73
let me help you with that,
74
or why don't I give you a hand or help you,
75
do you want me to help you,
76
would you like me to help you,
77
or would you like me to give you a hand,
78
I'd be happy to help you,
79
I'd be happy to give you a hand,
80
I'd be glad to help,
81
or do you want me to have a look?
82
So remember this, confidence comes with preparation and practice.
83
Prepare well, you already know what the questions are going to be,
84
so you can write your answers in Spanish
85
and translate it into English using the Google Translate
86
or any other translator that you you know
87
but please please please use your common sense to improve those
88
translations you can also write your answers on a Google Doc
89
and see what the autocorrect feature suggests so you can improve it
90
that way and make sure
91
that you know how to pronounce the verbs in the past both irregular
92
and regular and then repeat so repeat answering these questions
93
and why do I talk about repetition
94
because the more you say your answers the easier
95
and the more natural they will come in the future you can kind of
96
because the questions are always set you can kind of memorize a template in your mind
97
and then you fill in the blanks with whatever tasks you're doing at the moment
98
so remember preparation and repetition practice
99
that was it for today I hope you have enjoyed this video
100
and all the best in your next daily stand-up meeting see you next time bye
101
Thank you.

Contesto e Sfondo

Le riunioni quotidiane, note come "stand-up", possono risultare intimidatorie per chi possiede competenze linguistiche di base in inglese. Parlarne davanti ad altre persone, mentre si è al centro dell'attenzione, può essere una vera sfida se non ci si sente sicuri. Questi incontri brevi, che durano circa 15 minuti, sono progettati per pianificare le attività per le 24 ore successive e garantire che il team sia allineato. Si svolgono solitamente al mattino, nella stessa ora e luogo, e si chiamano "stand-up" perché i partecipanti, in piedi, mantengono alta l'energia del gruppo.

Le 5 Frasi Fondamentali per la Comunicazione Quotidiana

  • Yesterday, I worked on... - Ieri, ho lavorato su...
  • Today, I will work on... - Oggi, lavorerò su...
  • Today, I am going to work on... - Oggi, sto per lavorare su...
  • Today, I will be working on... - Oggi, starò lavorando su...
  • What is blocking me... - Cosa mi sta bloccando...

Utilizzare queste frasi fondamentali può aiutarti a prendere parte attivamente alla riunione e superare la paura di parlare in pubblico.

Guida Passo-Passo al Shadowing

Per affrontare le difficoltà che si possono incontrare durante le riunioni "stand-up", è utile prepararsi in anticipo. Ecco una guida passo-passo per migliorare la tua pronuncia in inglese e diventare più sicuro durante queste conversazioni:

  1. Preparazione: Prima della riunione, rispondi mentalmente alle domande chiave utilizzando le frasi che abbiamo menzionato. Questo ti aiuterà a sentire più sicuro.
  2. Shadow Speech: Pratica il shadowing in inglese ascoltando i membri più esperti del tuo team. Ripeti le loro risposte, mimando il loro tono e la loro velocità di parola. Questo è un ottimo modo per migliorare la tua pronuncia.
  3. Coinvolgimento: Durante la riunione, sforzati di ascoltare attentamente gli altri, anche se sei ansioso riguardo alla tua risposta. Fai domande o chiedi chiarimenti per dimostrare il tuo interesse.
  4. Feedback: Dopo la riunione, chiedi un feedback ai tuoi colleghi. Loro possono darti suggerimenti utili per migliorare ulteriormente le tue abilità di comunicazione.
  5. Pratica Costante: Partecipa regolarmente a sessioni di shadowing attraverso il shadowing site o altre risorse online. Più pratichi, più migliorerai.

Seguendo questi passi, non solo diventerai un partecipante più attivo nelle riunioni, ma potrai anche migliorare significativamente la tua pronuncia in inglese e superare la tua ansia nel parlare in pubblico.

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.
