シャドーイング練習: Blue Dot Effect: Problems Never Feel Solved - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
There's an amazing discovery in psychology that I like to call the blue dot effect.
2
Years ago, researchers at Harvard sat people down
3
and showed them a series of dots and asked them to identify which ones were blue.
4
At first, there was a mix of blue and non -blue and people were pretty accurate.
5
But as the experiment went on, there were fewer blue dots shown and people became less accurate, regularly mistaking shades of purple for being blue.
6
Okay, big deal, right?
7
Well, they next showed people human faces and told them to identify the threatening ones.
8
At first, people were good at this, but then, as researchers showed fewer threatening faces, as with the blue dots, people began to mistake friendly faces for being threatening.
9
They then repeated this over and over again with threatening language, unethical job proposals, dangerous groups, and so on.
10
So why is this important?
11
Well, let's say there's a big problem in your life
12
and you spend a lot of time and energy trying to solve it.
13
The blue dot effect suggests that instead of feeling as though you're making progress on the problem, your mind will simply redefine the problem in such a way that you never totally stop experiencing it.
14
That's why...

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。
