シャドーイング練習: Clarifying an Unclear Brief with Your Manager - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
Helen, have you got a moment to go through the brief?
2
Certainly, James. Is something not clear?
3
To be honest, I'm not sure what the client actually wants.
4
The email they sent was rather vague.
5
I know what you mean. It was written in a hurry.
6
Basically, they want their brochure to be completely redesigned.
7
So are we changing the text too, or just the layout?
8
Just the layout. The text has already been approved.
9
That's a relief. And who exactly is it aimed at?
10
Mainly younger customers, people in their twenties and thirties.
11
So something modern and less formal, then.
12
Exactly. They feel the current one looks rather dated.
13
What sort of deadline are we working to?
14
They'd like a first draft by the end of the month.
15
That's doable, provided I get the photos this week.
16
I'll chase them up this afternoon.
17
One more thing. Is there a fixed budget for printing?
18
There is, and it's fairly tight, I'm afraid.
19
So I'd steer clear of anything too fancy.
20
Understood. I'll keep it simple but eye-catching.
21
Just to make sure we're on the same page.
22
New layout, younger audience, same text, draft by the thirtieth.
23
That's it in a nutshell.
24
And do run your ideas past me before you go too far.
25
Of course. I'll put together two or three rough concepts.
26
Lovely. Shall we meet again on Friday morning?
27
Friday's fine. I'll have something to show you by then.
28
Wonderful. Thanks for double-checking, James.

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。
