Welcome to ICIELTS Listening Practice.
2
Handwriting.
3
Part 3.
4
You will hear two education students discussing an assignment on teaching handwriting to children.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
7
How are you getting on with the assignment on handwriting?
8
Not too bad.
9
You know, I hadn't realised that children benefit in so many ways from learning to write.
10
It's such an important skill,
11
and yet most people think handwriting is less important than in the past because people hardly ever write by hand these days.
12
Yes, and all the evidence suggests children should learn to write by hand before they learn to type,
13
not least because it helps their memory.
14
That's right.
15
The physical act of writing helps children to remember letters.
16
That seems pretty obvious when you think about it.
17
What's less obvious is how it helps develop their concentration.
18
They have to sit still and focus on one thing.
19
Yeah, that aspect of handwriting had never occurred to me before.
20
Same here.
21
I'm not sure I understand how it improves children's imagination, though.
22
Well, there was that study which showed that primary age children generated more ideas
23
when they were writing by hand than using a keyboard.
24
I would have guessed that would be the case.
25
Hmm, yeah.
26
I'd never associated spatial awareness with handwriting either.
27
I thought spatial awareness was more to do with knowing where you are in relation to objects or other people.
28
Hmm, I thought that too.
29
And good spatial awareness is essential for writing because you have to space words correctly.
30
It's not just fine motor skills that improve through writing,
31
as I'd always assumed.
32
Handwriting is so much harder for children with dyspraxia,
33
who have problems coordinating movement.
34
It's good there are lots of things you can do in the classroom to help them.
35
They need so much more support with letter formation.
36
You need to play lots of games to help them distinguish letter shapes.
37
It takes a lot of patience.
38
Yeah.
39
I like the idea of using one of those pens that lights up if you press too hard.
40
That seems like a really simple solution.
41
Yes, absolutely.
42
I'm not sure there's much you can do about children with dyspraxia writing very slowly.
43
It's more important to focus on accuracy,
44
and as they get more confident,
45
I think they eventually speed up.
46
One quite simple thing you can do is to use grid paper.
47
So they write each letter in a box and that trains them to space the letters correctly.
48
Indeed.
49
That's more important for legibility than trying to get them to write in a straight line.
50
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
51
you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
52
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
53
For some children, it might be better to teach them to write on a laptop rather than by hand,
54
like children with dyslexia.
55
They often really struggle with handwriting and some just give up.
56
Yeah, it's not as frustrating for them if they get things wrong.
57
On a keyboard, they can be more willing to have a go.
58
But I read that developing fluency isn't any faster.
59
That's right.
60
Did you read that article on the benefits of teaching print rather than cursive handwriting,
61
where the letters are joined up?
62
Yes.
63
Well, in the past, cursive writing was certainly considered more stylish and educated, but not anymore.
64
Teachers' attitudes have changed because it's been proved that cursive is more difficult to learn,
65
especially for children with learning difficulties who find joining up letters really challenging.
66
I agree.
67
I was always worried that my poor handwriting affected my exam results,
68
and now research shows that I was right to worry.
69
I'm sure a lot of students think it's unfair that they're being judged on their handwriting,
70
not just their knowledge.
71
Marks are definitely affected if examiners can't read the script.
72
That's why it's always been so important to teach children to write legibly.
73
Do you think the role of handwriting will change in the future?
74
I can't see that changing much.
75
Touch typing still isn't taught in most schools, which is a shame.
76
But maybe that won't be necessary in the future,
77
because people will also be able to write by hand on digital devices.
78
Anyway, teachers understand the value of handwriting.
79
It's a basic life skill.
80
True.
81
However, the fact is that people are writing by hand less and less and relying on digital devices.
82
That does cause some problems.
83
You mean like note-taking?
84
There are lots of apps for that.
85
And for reading historical documents, apparently.
86
But my mum is shocked by my awful spelling and the fact that my punctuation is really inconsistent.
87
I think you can put that down to lack of practice.
88
I expect so.
89
Personally, I miss writing by hand.
90
I hardly ever write anything now.
91
I remember my grandparents had such beautiful handwriting and it was so individual.
92
Nobody I know would be able to identify my handwriting now.
93
It's a shame.
94
I know.
95
I feel the same way.
96
I used to write a diary by hand and now I do that digitally.
97
It just seems less effort to do it that way.
98
So it's not just a problem.
99
That is the end of part 3.

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 3.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由は？
このビデオでは、二人の教育学の学生が、子供に手書きを教えることに関する課題について話し合っています。彼らの会話を通じて、英語のスピーキング能力を向上させるための実用的なコンテキストを提供しています。特に、授業や教育に関連するトピックを扱うことで、IELTSスピーキング対策に役立つ表現や語彙を学ぶことができます。このような会話を通じて、英語の流暢さや自然な表現を身につけることが可能であり、英語シャドーイングの実践に最適です。ビデオを見ながら、彼らの発言に耳を傾け、繰り返すことで、shadow speechのスキルを磨くことができます。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
ビデオ内で使用されているいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現を分析してみましょう。
- 「It's important that...」 - この表現は、他の人に重要さを強調する際に使います。例: それは重要です。子供は手書きを学ぶべきです。
- 「I hadn't realized that...」 - 自分の認識の変化を示す表現。例: 私は、手書きが子供にとってどれほどの利益があるかを認識していませんでした。
- 「There was that study which...」 - 引用や具体的な研究をする際に使う構造。例: その研究は、手書きの方が創造性を高めることを示しました。
これらの文法構造を使いこなすことで、より複雑な会話ができるようになります。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、こうした表現を繰り返し練習することが鍵です。
一般的な発音のトラップ
このビデオには、特に注意が必要な発音のポイントや言葉があります。例えば、「benefit」は「ベネフィット」と発音される一方で、最初の音が曖昧になることがあります。また、「concentration」はネイティブスピーカーにとっては一息で発音されるため、意識せずに発音すると、「コンセンテイション」と誤発音しがちです。これらの単語は、英語をより流暢に話すためにはしっかりとした練習が必要です。発音の練習にshadowspeakの手法を取り入れることも有効です。練習を重ねて、正しい発音を身につけましょう。
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。
