With me on Careers Talk is Jake Watson, who's an air traffic controller, making sure planes take off and land safely at a busy airport.
2
Jake, welcome.
3
We've got many questions emailed by our teenage listeners.
4
OK.
5
First, Sarah asks what you find challenging about your job.
6
The job's extremely interesting, but it's not easy.
7
Obviously, it involves keeping radio contact with aircraft and directing their movements.
8
I also have to provide information to pilots about weather conditions, for example, so there's a lot involved.
9
I get to use advanced radio communication to maintain contact with pilots.
10
I also speak to air authorities to make sure planes pass safely through their airspace.
11
And it's when I have to deal with all this at once that I'm really stretched.
12
Ben asks how you ended up doing such an unusual job.
13
I've always loved being around airports.
14
After graduating in aircraft engineering, I got my private pilot's licence.
15
I'd always wanted to become a commercial pilot.
16
But then I was offered a job in aircraft maintenance.
17
That was pressured at times, so it was good training.
18
And I was lucky enough to be getting a good salary.
19
But after a while, it became a bit routine, so I started looking at what else was available and saw the job advertised.
20
Samantha wants to know how hard it was to get the job.
21
The selection process was tough.
22
I was given lots of tasks, like problem solving to test my analytical skills, which I'd been nervous about.
23
To my surprise, I had no problems with them.
24
I've always been good at math, which probably helped.
25
Actually, I thought math would be a basic necessity for this work and that doing the job would make me even better at it.
26
In fact, only straightforward calculations are involved.
27
Anyway, I got through.
28
Peter asks how you felt when you first took charge of landing a plane without any help.
29
Yes, well, as a trainee, you're used to having someone listening to you when you're talking to pilots, but eventually you have to do it alone, of course.
30
My instructors assured me that I'd had all the necessary preparation.
31
I wasn't convinced, but in fact the whole thing happened almost without me realising it.
32
I'd been so absorbed in what I was doing, it was only afterwards that I remembered no one had been there checking up on me.
33
So it was fine.
34
B asks what air controllers do when the weather's foggy.
35
Well, they airport's near a river, so some days everything's covered in dense fog.
36
Then the regular buzz of activity dies down, and there's just screens lighting up with wind speed reports and so on, which we still keep a close eye on.
37
It doesn't mean we can relax completely.
38
The fog can hang around for hours or clear within minutes.
39
We make the most of those times when we're not dealing with 50 planes an hour, though.
40
Now, a question from Richard.
41
Are you aware of how much people hate flight delays?
42
Well, controllers actually work to speed up flight departures, but I realise why people get frustrated when flights are running late.
43
I know from experience, though, that it doesn't do any good.
44
I do sometimes feel sorry for passengers, but the delay in departure schedules isn't something I let myself get concerned about up in the control tower.
45
The departure times are decided according to the routes aircraft take, among other things, but that's hard to get that over to passengers.
46
Finally, I read that air traffic controllers recently helped out with an air display at the airport.
47
How did that go?
48
Really well.
49
We'd spent several months preparing for it.
50
It was amazing how little disruption there was to flights.
51
My job was talking to helicopter pilots filming the display, as well as monitoring other aircraft at the show.
52
I hadn't expected to see quite such big crowds.
53
It was certainly a satisfying feeling when it was over, and nothing had gone wrong.
54
Thanks, Jake.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、空港でのエアトラフィックコントローラーの仕事について学びます。特に、話の中で用いられる専門用語やフレーズに焦点を当て、実際の会話での使用方法を理解します。また、シャドーイングのテクニックを使って、英語の発音やリスニングスキルを向上させる方法を探求します。このビデオの中で、エアトラフィックコントローラーが直面するチャレンジやその仕事の魅力についてのインタビューが展開されます。
キーワードとフレーズ
- エアトラフィックコントローラー - 航空機の離着陸を安全に管理する職業
- 無線通信 - パイロットとの連絡手段
- 気象条件 - パイロットに提供する必要な情報
- 分析スキル - 問題解決に必要な能力
- 遅延 - 飛行機の出発時間が遅れること
- シャドーイング - 聞いた内容を真似て話す練習法
- 飛行機のメンテナンス - 航空機の状態を保つための作業
練習のアドバイス
このビデオは、エアトラフィックコントローラーの仕事についてのインタビューであり、会話のスピードは通常の速さです。英語シャドーイングを行う際は、まずはビデオを通して理解することから始めましょう。その後、聞いた後に自分の声で繰り返すことで、理解度を深めます。特に、無線通信や<強>気象条件に関連するフレーズを強調して練習してみてください。こうすることで、英語の発音を良くする練習ができます。名詞や動詞の発音を意識しながら、何度も声に出して練習することが大切です。
また、ビデオのトーンやリズムを意識しながら行うことで、自然な言語の流れをつかむことができるでしょう。shadow speakのテクニックを使って、特に話し手の感情や強調部分を捉えることが効果的です。リスニングやスピーキングのスキルが向上するだけでなく、英語効率的に学ぶことができます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
