Good day.

This morning, the FOMC decided to maintain the target rate for the federal

funds rate at 3 .75 % to 4 % in support of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate.

Economic activity is expanding at a strong pace.

While uncertainty remains, owing in part to geopolitical developments, domestic spending has been resilient.

Productivity growth is strong and capital investment robust.

Job gains have kept pace with the workforce and the unemployment rate has changed little, but inflation remains elevated.

The committee believes

that the accumulation of more information will help it determine the

policy stance appropriate to ensure a timely return of inflation to the two percent goal

the committee will deliver price stability at each policy meeting my colleagues

and i assess the economy by looking out the window

it's what we call interrogating reality to gauge what's really going on it is not a task

that has grown easier so what exactly do we observe economic growth has strengthened.

The GDP increase in the first half of this year was

revised up from an earlier estimate of 1 .8 percent up to 2 .4 percent.

And the third quarter appears to have brought an even more rapid advance, led by healthy consumer spending, likely running above 3 percent growth,

and business investment likely rising at about a double -digit pace.

Capital expenditure are at a historically high share of GDP.

High -tech investment is leading the acceleration, but there's also been a broadening in other categories, and these trends bear watching.

What about the jobless rate?

The jobless rate is lower than a year ago, and payroll growth is noticeably above last year's pace.

The four -week moving average of unemployment insurance claims continues to run at the lowest level in generations.

So on the employment side of the Fed's dual mandate, conditions are quite positive.

And yet Americans, of course, are still dealing with inflation that has been running above the committee's objective for close to six years.

It's our responsibility to get inflation down.

That's the reason the FOMC's discussion over the last couple of days focus mainly on the price stability side of our remit.

Since our policy action in September, we have started to see some changes in financial and credit conditions.

They have tightened for some businesses and households, much as we would expect.

Market participants are becoming somewhat more discerning in their capital allocations.

And while overall financial conditions are tighter, I'm unwilling and unable to call them tight.

But broadly, these developments go in the direction of achieving a longer,

more durable period of economic growth and price stability.

Over the last couple of days, the committee had a good discussion of the changes in the economic and financial landscape that marked this intermeeting period.

We discussed geopolitical developments and fast -moving changes in technology.

We observed, but were not surprised, that financial markets showed bouts of volatility and shifting correlations.

So as we widen the frame to survey the broad economic and financial picture, real activity is clearly pointing in the right direction.

That's good news.

But inflation is too high.

Energy and related prices have moved higher again in recent weeks,

and our job is to ensure that relative price changes in some sectors do not broaden out across the economy,

and that inflation expectations remain as they are anchored.

While these uncertainties are real, there's no lack of clarity in our purpose at the Fed.

Since becoming chairman just five months ago, I've been honored to work with FOMC policymakers who are unambiguous in their commitment to stable prices.

We've made clear our readiness to act as circumstances require and we have shown our willingness to act.

The information we receive over the coming period will help us determine where we want policy to be and at every turn,

good or bad, our job is to get monetary policy right.

And that's exactly what we're doing.

Now, with this objective in mind, we've decided on a change in our FOMC schedule starting next fall.

We believe eight meetings per year is the right number for the FOMC.

But in 2027, one meeting will focus exclusively on broad monetary policy strategy,

with neither a vote on the federal funds rate nor a policy statement anticipated.

The rest will be regular FOMC policy setting meetings.

And I expect that in 2028, we'll have two meetings dedicated to discussions of strategy and six for setting policy.

Now, what's the reasoning behind this change?

To me, it's quite straightforward.

Getting policy right involves assessing near -term developments at timely, regular, and information -rich intervals.

But it's equally important we reserve time and space as an intellectually diverse group for strategic deliberations,

for thinking anew about big questions, looking out over longer time horizons, focusing, as I say, on the left side of the decimal point.

I believe the setting of the meeting schedule and agenda is more than some administrative detail.

It's an institutional choice, affecting the nature and the quality of our deliberations, and ultimately the wisdom of our decisions.

It's yet another change to get the conduct of monetary policy on the right track.

I appreciate your attention this afternoon.

Now my time is yours, and I welcome your questions.

Thank you.

Colby Smith of The New York Times.

There's been essentially no progress toward the 2 % inflation target.

The labor market remains stable, as you suggested in your opening statement,

and most of your colleagues seem to be on board with raising rates in December.

So why not just raise rates today?

So it's a good question.

I will say I read your stories the last day or two, so I must admit I sort of saw that question coming.

What I said in my prepared statement was information coming in

the coming period will help us tell us where we want to be

but I suspect you want a little more than that.

So let me give it a shot.

Ensuring price stability, Colby, quashing inflation, is not about some fixed individual date on a calendar.

Same way it's not about some isolated data point.

If it were about those two things, this job would be easier

and we wouldn't be suffering from nearly six years of inflation above target

so what's this about it's about ensuring we have clear objectives

and it's about a monetary policy strategy which might sound to your ear

and others like a change from the last several years

so let me step back uh in the five months or

so that i've been around we've put in place what i describe as new monetary medicine well what's been in

that package of medicine

First thing we did when we showed up with my colleagues is we doubled down on the 2 % inflation target.

We said, we own it.

We're taking responsibility for it.

And if you think that we're tolerating some inflation target somewhere in the twos, let us disabuse you of it.

That was the first part of this, new monetary medicine.

Second part is we took responsibility.

No anguish of central banking here.

No blaming others.

It's the third thing that we've done.

we laid out for you

and the world our framework

i did it in jackson hole was part of the discussion the last couple days of the framework

that many of my colleagues skew to as well

100

this is how we think about how monetary policy should work these are the transmission mechanisms

101

and this is how we're going to deliver then what we do we interrogate reality we do

102

that periodically that's a very useful thing to do

103

but we don't just talk we act and so in september when we last met we acted.

104

We removed a dose of accommodation.

105

So what are the signposts about how this new strategy is going?

106

Inflation compensation, as measured by swaps, prices, many other measures, inflation compensation is going in the right way.

107

Inflation expectations.

108

The world is quite unsettled.

109

If you'd say, absent the Fed, what would have happened to expectations?

110

They might to go on the wrong way.

111

They've gone the right way too.

112

So I feel good about those signposts.

113

The period right in front of us is information rich.

114

There is a lot that's happening in the world.

115

My colleagues and I are keen to take notice of it.

116

So in this coming period, what do i think

117

we're going to be able to do we're going to be

118

able to figure out what's the appropriate protocol as part of this package

119

that we start deliver five months ago to deliver price stability

120

i'm encouraged by the progress we've made in a short period of time

121

but if the crux of your question is you haven't delivered yet you haven't achieved price stability you're right about that, but we're working on it.

122

Thank you, Chair Warsh.

123

So, if I could, this statement says

124

that the accumulation of more information will help the committee determine the policy stance appropriate to ensure timely return of inflation

125

to the 2 percent goal.

126

Does that mean that the current level of the Fed Funds rate might already be the right one?

127

well um we've got to determine the appropriate protocol

128

if you were listening next to me in that room the last couple of days

129

the overwhelming consensus the overwhelming judgment is

130

that what we've done in this monetary medicine starting to work some

131

but there's no firm conclusions

132

if we had a firm conclusion about the conduct of monetary policy we'd announced

133

it to much fanfare today what we decided to do was

134

to call these question take stock of where we are evaluate

135

what we're seeing out the window ask ourselves whether the period

136

right in front of us is likely to provide more clarity

137

on the appropriate protocol my judgment the judgment of my overwhelming number of colleagues is that it would steve please Mr. Chairman,

138

before, thanks for taking our questions, but before the meeting, several

139

members of the board and the committee went out and told us

140

that we're going to take more time and that had a profound effect on the outlook for the funds rate.

141

Were you involved in discussing that message with them?

142

And if you don't mind, I'm sorry, but a protocol question, what will be the disclosure,

143

public disclosure on the meetings where you're not going to have a statement?

144

So two questions.

145

I'm sorry.

146

Two questions.

147

Did you not hear the one question rule?

148

I did, but I thought there was like a protocol thing I could do.

149

I would.

150

That was like a parliamentary procedure question you were asking.

151

That didn't count.

152

I hesitate to indulge the second question.

153

I fear what it would do.

154

But let me see if I can do it and not have the slippery slope among us.

155

Your first question was about my colleagues.

156

I've got 18 quite independent colleagues.

157

If you were inside that room the last couple of days, you would come to believe that to be true.

158

One way to test the independence of my colleagues is, I don't know if you've heard, Steve, but I don't submit a dot.

159

I don't plan on submitting a dot.

160

But the 18 of them do.

161

To suggest somehow that I am some kind of all -knowing person sending messages out,

162

that's not the committee of the FOMC that I know.

163

These are serious, sober, responsible people.

164

We had a serious, sober discussion.

165

So that's the answer to that.

166

On the parliamentary question, which doesn't count as a question, I'll just say this.

167

We've made a decision that at that strategy meeting in 27 and the two strategy meetings in 28, I do not anticipate making any policy decision,

168

putting out a policy statement.

169

But what might we come out with?

170

It's not obvious yet.

171

There's more news to come on that.

172

The decision on the new format for the meetings is relatively new.

173

It was a robust discussion over a couple of meetings of how to handle that.

174

As we get details of that, which are still now not until next fall, we'll be prepared to share them with you.

175

Nicole.

176

Hi, Nicole.

177

Good kind with Barron.

178

Thanks for taking my question.

179

In September, you mentioned

180

that the Fed has a role in sustaining the economic progress happening in America right now

181

and in the rising opportunities that come with it.

182

I'm wondering if you can expand on whether you see this as a mandate and how you intend to fulfill that mandate.

183

So the mandate was given to us by Congress.

184

The mandate was deliver stable prices and deliver full employment all in the context of financial stability.

185

Now, they gave us some other homework to do on supervision and regulation payments, but I presume you're talking about monetary policy.

186

So what's the best thing we can do in this environment, looking out our window to deliver on that remit?

187

Ensure stable prices.

188

I mentioned, I think, at a prior press conference, if you were trying to do the most harm, the least well -off among us,

189

you would let the last six years of inflation above the Fed's target, usually well above the Fed's target, you'd let that continue.

190

So that's the most important thing we can do as we look out the window, and that's what we plan to do.

191

You probably heard me say this we will deliver price stability

192

No, ifs ands or buts and that continues to be the case Eleanor.

193

Eleanor Mueller was said before.

194

Eleanor Mueller was said before.

195

Wanted to ask you about the working groups, when we can expect the reports to come up,

196

and if there is anything you can preview for us, whether it's on AI or data or balance sheets.

197

Sure.

198

These five task forces are hard at work.

199

I have scarcely seen anything that would constitute a final report, But I have done some periodic check -ins with them,

200

and I am impressed by the rigor of the intellectual discussions, by the seriousness of the task that we've given them.

201

Now, some of the questions that I ask to kick off the reports, they want to answer those and answer a whole range of other questions,

202

which might go to other task forces.

203

But I'm impressed by what they're doing.

204

I gave them, like I told you, a year -end deadline.

205

I think some but not all of the groups will probably hit their deadline and turn their homework in on time

206

But that just begins the process by which we're going to be consuming which is intellectually serious work

207

That's a catalyst for us to think anew about productivity and jobs and an inflation framework

208

And what's the best data to help us do our job how to think about the balance sheet task force?

209

Um, these are huge intellectual investments that I think are going to bear fruits in the next policy conjuncture.

210

Um, unlikely to find their way into this policy conjuncture given the important role as consumers of these ideas that my colleagues have.

211

But I will have one small announcement.

212

Um, I previewed this when I was at an IMF meeting, much to the chagrin of some of my colleagues around here on November 16th,

213

the productivity and jobs task force will be doing a field hearing, inviting a broad range of people who have strong views.

214

What are the implications for jobs in the economy near term, medium term, long term?

215

Is this a productivity miracle that's going to happen?

216

Or will it happen slowly?

217

I know I for one, I'm keenly interested in refining my own views on that question.

218

But that task force decided they

219

They wanted to hear from more people as part of their undertaking.

220

I plan at attending.

221

I might have a few words to say at the outset of that conference.

222

I expect the conference will go three, four hours.

223

It'll be pretty wonky stuff.

224

I don't know how good the material will be for the likes of you and your colleagues.

225

But it's a purpose to do a lot of listening for me to interrogate the reality in front of me.

226

What do experts in their fields think about this?

227

What are the implications for the dual mandate that I referenced to your colleague?

228

Is this going to make it harder or easier for us to achieve price stability over the next several years?

229

What are the implications for jobs, medium and long term, but near term, too?

230

So we're going to explore those largely in the public realm on November 16th.

231

I look forward to seeing you there.

232

MS. James Rosen.

233

Thank you so much.

234

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

235

James Rosen with Newsmax.

236

You spoke of interrogating reality.

237

Since reality is a no -show here today, I'm going to satisfy myself with interrogating you.

238

You spoke earlier in your remarks here today about how your colleagues are serious

239

and sober people who are committed to price stability.

240

In an event in the Oval Office on October 7 of this year, President Trump said, and I quote,

241

Kevin is great, but Kevin's one vote out of a board with numerous people

242

that were put on by Obama and Biden and a couple by me

243

so you have a board

244

that would like to see the country do badly in my opinion do you agree with those comments

245

so james i appreciate the question

246

i'm not going to be responding to uh to quotes from

247

public officials what i can tell you is my experience in five months here

248

we just came out of a heck of a family fight a serious sober discussion

249

i think we came to uh the right policy decision for this moment,

250

and I'm honored to be here and honored to be the chairman of this group.

251

Maria, let me say that.

252

Chairman Walsh, Maria Luis Acapurro with Bloomberg News.

253

So the economy is strong.

254

Inflation is well above 2%.

255

You're saying inflation expectations are going the right way,

256

but surveys show that households expect inflation to remain above the Fed's goal and not just for the short term.

257

Using a hike today, I'm waiting for more data.

258

I haven't really heard the clear arguments as to that decision.

259

So do you worry that with today's decision, households may not believe your pledge to bring down inflation clearly and at sufficient speed,

260

and instead will read this decision of holding rates steady as a sign that the central bank has, in fact, a soft inflation target?

261

Yeah.

262

So what I can do is tell you there's no soft inflation target.

263

There's no implicit inflation target.

264

There's a target of price stability, and it's 2 percent as measured by PCE.

265

It took six years for inflation to have the effect on consumers that you reference.

266

But I would say this.

267

When consumers interrogate reality, they look outside their window, too.

268

They go to the gas station, too, and they see that prices are up.

269

I am not going to be the guy who says that oil prices haven't gone up,

270

and when they fill up their tank, they don't see it.

271

And so inflation's gone up in expectations in the very near term because they're doing what we're doing, interrogating reality.

272

But if you look out over the horizon, if you look at most, but not all, measures, what you see is households,

273

businesses, financial markets, they have the confidence that they should have that this central bank will deliver price stability.

274

Edward, Lawrence.

275

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

276

Edward Lawrence, Fox Business.

277

So do you see a direct line correlation between oil prices and the inflation we're seeing in the United States?

278

And if so, how fast could inflation fall or react to falling oil prices?

279

So I don't want to engage in hypotheticals, but I can look out our window and see what's happened.

280

There'd been a stable correlation between oil prices, as they've moved up this year, generally, and interest rates.

281

Not the interest rates that we control, but interest rates set in the market.

282

That correlation has been quite strong until very recently.

283

We've seen oil prices continue to move up, largely due to geopolitical events.

284

We've seen crack spreads between oil and refined products continue to stay elevated.

285

But what's happened?

286

Interest rates have rolled over to the downside.

287

I'm not a Wall Street newsletter.

288

I'm just telling you when I look out the window over the last several months, that is what we've seen.

289

To the extent that oil prices were to move lower, again probably due to geopolitical events,

290

that's something that we're going to have to interrogate.

291

What are the effects on the Fed's dual mandate?

292

What are the effects on financial market prices and what are we going to do about it?

293

But that's a hypothetical.

294

And in fact, if we look at financial market prices, um, uh, futures prices for oil,

295

they've moved up over the course of the last several weeks and I can't help but take note of that too.

296

Thank you.

297

Thank you.

298

Claire Jones, Financial Times.

299

Much of the growth that we're seeing in the U .S economy now

300

and quite a bit of the inflation too is coming from the AI boom.

301

There's quite a lively debate as to whether or not,

302

you know, this is a part of the economy that's sensitive to interest rates in the same way as, say, housing.

303

I'd love to get your sense of, you know, do rates need to rise more,

304

given that so much of the U .S economy now is about AI than it otherwise would if,

305

say, you know, housing was a bigger part of the story.

306

Thank you.

307

Thank you, Claire.

308

So there was a narrative for quite a while, maybe even in this room over the course of the last several press conferences.

309

Well, they're going to raise rates, they're talking about raising rates, but it's not going to have any effect on ai

310

because the returns that investors are expecting are

311

so different um i was skeptical of

312

that view interest rates get in the cracks interest rates affect directly

313

or indirectly almost everything and what have we seen since early september what we've seen inside of the technology complex,

314

outside of the technology complex, whether you pronounce it AI or SI, Claire, is up to you.

315

What have you seen?

316

Interest rates have had an effect.

317

You see market participants that are discriminating between the kinds of investments they want to make.

318

You've seen credit spreads for certain assets widen out, gap out.

319

For others, you've seen some tightening in financial conditions, but not significantly.

320

So on the thrust of your question of with respect to the new technology and this investment surge, do interest rates matter?

321

I believe they do.

322

And I don't believe that they're somehow divorced from the rest of the economy.

323

Secondly, I'll just say this.

324

It is convenient to say that the strength of the economy is all about this new technology wave.

325

In fact, if we look at the data, really including data from the last meeting till this, the CapEx story is not just robust,

326

not just strong, but it is broadening.

327

And so if you want to tell the story somehow that this is This is...

328

strength we're seeing only in narrow pockets.

329

That's a much harder story to tell now than it would have been several quarters ago.

330

Elizabeth Schultz, on the back right.

331

Thanks so much, Elizabeth Schultz with ABC News.

332

As you know, the midterm elections are in six days.

333

Did the midterms factor into the Fed's decision to stay on hold?

334

And if not, how can you assure the American public that politics were not at play here?

335

So, um, politics played no role in the decision.

336

I just spent two days with my colleagues upstairs.

337

I didn't hear an utterance about politics.

338

I didn't hear a reference to politics, elections, what's happening in the next week or so.

339

I didn't hear anything about it.

340

And I don't believe it had any role in the decision, not just for me, but my colleagues around the room.

341

But I will say it's an information -rich interval in the coming period having nothing to do with politics.

342

Chris Rugeber.

343

Hi, thank you, Chris Rugeber at Associated Press.

344

I know you don't like the statement of economic projections, but last month they did, your colleagues penciled in another rate hike for this year.

345

And so could you give us your sense from this meeting

346

whether you still see widespread support for another hike this year around the table?

347

Thank you.

348

So the blackout period for them ends, I think, on Friday or at some point over the weekend.

349

So they might they might indulge you in that discussion.

350

I don't believe in forward guidance, absent exigent circumstances, absent a crisis.

351

I have to give that caveat because in the darkest days of the 2008 financial crisis,

352

in part using some literature and thinking from a very recent

353

Nobel Prize winner that kind of forward guidance is actually quite helpful

354

but in normal ordinary times especially times where the underlying real economy is this strong

355

I don't believe in it I don't favor

356

it I also don't believe in prejudging meetings a lot of things can happen

357

so I'm not gonna be able to to share with you my musings about what happens

358

when this group gets together six weeks from now.

359

But my judgment is that we might learn a lot and like in my response to Colby's question will be,

360

I think, better position to determine the right policy decision and the stance of policy.

361

Saying we Hi, my name is from the Korea Economic Daily newspaper.

362

I got a question as a foreign press

363

you have spoken several times about the possibility of the Fed shrinking its balance sheet further

364

If that plan moves it forward later

365

How would you avoid the disrupting foreign official holders of treasuries or dollar funding markets abroad like

366

South Korea and Japan?

367

So thank you for your question first off I would say

368

I pay probably more attention to the Korean economy than you might think because

369

when I'm looking at the feedstocks effectively for this new surge in technology a lot of it's coming from Japan

370

and Korea some from Singapore

371

so I'm particularly interested in in what's happening in the Korean economy usually

372

because it's telling me what's what's on planes and ships coming this way.

373

Secondly, I should say that your new central bank governor is someone I've known for 20 years

374

and is a very talented guy and a good friend, so I'm glad he's in that post.

375

He and I met actually about 20 years ago amid the global financial crisis, as it would come to be known.

376

And I remember this is a generation of discussions with him

377

about the use of the balance sheet in exigent circumstances like we had then.

378

At this point, the balance sheet is solely within the four walls of the balance sheet task force.

379

Now, I have checked in with them, full disclosure.

380

They're working away and comparing their best thoughts.

381

And I think the conclusions they come to, the recommendations they come to, will be fed into the FOMC probably early in the first quarter,

382

but don't hold me exactly to that timing and and

383

if we decide to make changes in the balance sheet it'll be after a serious consideration of their proposals

384

and their recommendations I

385

think it is unlikely to have any material effect on this policy conjuncture

386

but it's a question we should get to the bottom too

387

and I look forward to doing it with the help of the outside task force

388

Nick Temeroso of the Wall Street Journal.

389

Chairman Warsh, I want to follow up on your answer to Claire's question.

390

As the AI investment boom becomes more dependent on external financing,

391

does that make aggregate demand more sensitive to interest rates than it was before?

392

And related to that, when you removed a dose of accommodation last month, did you see about what you bargained for?

393

so you gave me two questions

394

and neither of them were ahead of any sort of parliamentary out

395

so you're giving me the opportunity to choose choose choose which of those um

396

so i'll answer your second question um

397

when we removed a dose of accommodation i don't know six weeks ago uh

398

we don't have perfect foresight on what financial markets are going to do with it

399

But broadly, I would say the effects on financial markets, on financial market conditions broadly were consistent with my expectations.

400

Howard Schneider.

401

Howard Schneider with Reuters.

402

Thank you, Chairman Worsh.

403

I'm going to take

404

Nick's first question then.

405

Okay.

406

Give it to me again.

407

I don't remember.

408

No. It's about aggregate demand and the components of inflation.

409

A lot of your colleagues have said

410

they felt the investment boom in AI was now adding a strong demand component to inflation,

411

and this was a handoff from the supply side concerns that might be expected to fade over time.

412

How much do you think demand is adding to inflation right now, and how sensitive will that be to Fed control?

413

Good, good, good, good, good pickup of that.

414

Good team effort. So I'd say this.

415

The only things we really know in economics and supply and demand cross.

416

Our measures of the size and the shape of the aggregate demand curve is imperfect.

417

Broadly, what I heard in the room the last couple of days is consistent with my own views, which is the economy is strong.

418

I didn't try to sugarcoat that in the first part of my statement.

419

The economy has been marked up for the first three quarters.

420

The economy is pointing in the right direction.

421

is the economy running too hot is the economy running too strong

422

that isn't the judgment of most of my colleagues part of

423

it is we never know what potential growth really is howard

424

my judgment is we have seen an improvement in productivity we can't measure it precisely i think most of

425

that change in productivity precedes everything we're talking about

426

superintelligence but productivity has been moving higher in the economy however imperfectly measured i think for a couple of years

427

and so economic growth is higher but that doesn't tell me

428

that economic growth is somehow causing inflation and making our job harder

429

but we'll be continuing to look at those issues the goal in my view

430

and you've heard me say this before isn't to throw sand in the gears of the economy

431

and throw people out of work.

432

I don't think we have to do that.

433

The dominant means in which this policy is going to be put into practice is we are tightening financial conditions.

434

They've tightened a bit since we met last time.

435

That isn't something that we're uncomfortable with.

436

That tells me that policy is working, and I think we can do that and make the economy more durable,

437

have it last longer, and still achieve stable prices.

438

Okay, we'll go to Victoria for the last question.

439

Hi, Chair Warsh.

440

Um, Victoria Guido with Politico.

441

I wanted to ask, next week is, uh, a hearing at the White House on Lisa Cook's future and,

442

uh, allegations that have been made against her.

443

Are you personally or the Fed as an institution going to be involved at all in those proceedings?

444

Uh, not to my knowledge.

445

Thank you.

446

Thank you, guys.

447

Thank you.

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。
