1
Brick by brick, six-year-old Alice is building a magical kingdom.
2
Imagining fairy tale turrets and fire-breathing dragons, wicked witches, and gallant heroes, she's creating an enchanting world.
3
Although she isn't aware of it, this fantasy is helping her take her first steps towards her capacity for creativity, and so it will have important repercussions in her adult life.
4
Minutes later, Alice has abandoned the kingdom in favor of playing schools with her younger brother.
5
When she bosses him around as his teacher, she's practicing how to regulate her emotions through pretense.
6
Later on, when they tire of this and settle down with a board game, she's learning about the need to follow rules and take turns with a partner.
7
Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of a human species,
8
says Dr. David Whitebread from the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, UK.
9
It underpins how we develop as intellectual, problem-solving adults and is crucial to our success as a highly adaptable species.
10
Recognizing the importance of play is not new.
11
Over two millennia ago, the Greek philosopher Plato extolled its virtues as a means of developing skills for adult life,
12
and ideas about play-based learning have been developing since the 19th century.
13
But we live in changing times, and white bread is mindful of a worldwide decline in play, pointing out that over half the people in the world now live in cities.
14
The opportunities for free play, which I experienced almost every day of my childhood, are becoming increasingly scarce, he says.
15
Outdoor play is curtailed by perceptions of risk to do with traffic, as well as parents' increased wish to protect their children from being the victims of crime,
16
and by the emphasis on earlier is better, which is leading to greater competition in academic learning and schools.
17
International bodies like the United Nations and the European Union have begun to develop policies concerned with children's right to play,
18
and to consider implications for leisure facilities and educational programs.
19
But what they often lack is the evidence to base policies on.
20
The type of play we are interested in is child-initiated, spontaneous, and unpredictable, but as soon as you ask a five-year-old to play,
21
then you as the researcher have intervened, explains Dr. Sarah Baker.
22
And we want to know what the long-term impact of play is.
23
It's a real challenge.
24
Dr. Jenny Gibson agrees, pointing out
25
that although some of the steps in the puzzle of how and why play is important have been looked at, there is very little data on the impact it has on the child's later life.
26
Now, thanks to the University's new Center for Research on Play and Education, Development and Learning, Petal, White Bread,
27
Baker, Gibson, and a team of researchers hope to provide evidence on the role played by play in how a child develops.
28
A strong possibility is that play supports the early development of children's self-control, explains Baker.
29
This is our ability to develop awareness of our own thinking processes.
30
It influences how effectively we go about undertaking challenging activities.
31
In a study carried out by Baker with toddlers and young preschoolers,
32
she found that children with greater self-control solved problems more quickly when exploring an unfamiliar setup requiring scientific reasoning.
33
This sort of evidence makes us think
34
that giving children the chance to play will make them more successful problem solvers in the long run.
35
If playful experiences do facilitate this aspect of development, say the researchers, it could be extremely significant for educational practices
36
because the ability to self-regulate has been shown to be a key predictor of academic performance.
37
Gibson adds, playful behavior is also an important indicator of healthy social and emotional development.
38
In my previous research, I investigated how observing children at play can give us important clues about their well-being
39
and can even be useful in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.
40
Whitebread's recent research has involved developing a play-based approach to supporting children's writing.
41
Many primary school children find writing difficult, but we showed in a previous study that a playful stimulus was far more effective than an instructional one.
42
Children wrote longer and better structured stories when they first played with dolls representing characters in the story.
43
In the latest study, children first created their story with Lego with similar results.
44
Many teachers commented that they had always previously had children saying they didn't know what to write about.
45
With the Lego building, however, not a single child said this through the whole year of the project.
46
White Bread, who directs Petal, trained as a primary school teacher in the early 1970s when,
47
as he describes, the teaching of young children was largely a quiet backwater, untroubled by any serious intellectual debate or controversy.
48
Now, the landscape is very different with hotly debated topics such as school starting age.
49
Somehow the importance of play has been lost in recent decades.
50
It's regarded as something trivial or even as something negative that contrasts with work.
51
Let's not lose sight of its benefits and the fundamental contributions it makes to human achievements in the arts, sciences, and technology.
52
Let's make sure children have a rich diet of play experiences.

この動画は誰におすすめ？
英語のスピーキングやシャドーイングを練習したい中級者向けです。子どもの遊びについての議論を通して、論理的な文章構造や学術的な表現を学べます。「動画で英語学習」を楽しみながら、思考力向上にもつながる内容です！
覚えておきたいフレーズ＆イディオム
- Brick by brick：一歩一歩着実に。「Brick by brick, she built her English skills」のように使います。
- Underpins：基礎を支える。「Play underpins child development」で「遊びは子どもの発達の基礎となる」という意味です。
- Curtailed：制限される。「Outdoor play is curtailed by traffic」は「交通事情で外で遊ぶことが制限される」です。
アクセントを正しくするコツ
この動画のスピーカーは明瞭なイギリス英語で話しています。shadow speech（シャドーイング）をする際は、「repercussions」（影響）や「neurodevelopmental」（神経発達の）のような長い単語のアクセントを注意しましょう。特に「self-control」は「セルフ･コントロール」ではなく「セルフ･コントロール」（アクセントは最初の syllable）です。
シャドーイングサイトを使って何度も繰り返し練習すると、自然なリズムが身につきます。「shadowspeaks」や「shadow speak」のような方法で、口調やポーズを真似ることで、発音が格段に向上しますよ！
なぜこの動画で英語学習が効果的？
子どもの遊びについての深い議論は、日常英語だけでなく論述的な表現も学べる絶好の機会です。シャドーイングをすることで、リスニングとスピーキングのスキルを同時に鍛えられます。「遊びの重要性」というテーマは誰でも関心があるので、覚えたフレーズを実生活で使う機会も多いでしょう。
短期的な目標としては、「It's regarded as something trivial」（それは些細なものと見なされている）のような文を真似て話すことで、自然な英語表現が身につきます。長期的には、論理的な思考力も養われるので、一石二鳥です！
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。
