6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello.
3
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Neil.
5
And I'm Sam.
6
What's the matter, Neil?
7
You sound upset.
8
Well, I am Sam.
9
I just spent an hour working on my computer when it suddenly froze.
10
I lost everything and had to start all over again.
11
Oh, that's so frustrating.
12
Like pop-up internet ads and buffering videos that never play play.
13
Modern computers and the internet have revolutionised the way we live today,
14
bringing us the world with a click of a button.
15
But not everyone feels happy about these technological developments.
16
While potentially acting as a force for good and progress,
17
the internet also provides a way of spreading hate and misinformation.
18
And for some people, the World Wide Web remains a mysterious and confusing place.
19
In this programme, we'll hear about a new academic subject called web science.
20
Web science studies the technology behind the internet.
21
But from the human side,
22
it's also interested in how people interact with each other online.
23
So we'll be asking whether studying web science could make the internet better for humanity in the future.
24
But first, it's time for our quiz question.
25
I wonder what the pioneers of the internet would think about how it is used today.
26
So the question is, who invented the World Wide Web?
27
Was it a Bill Gates,
28
B Tim Berners-Lee or C Steve Jobs?
29
Well, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were the brains behind Microsoft and Apple Mac,
30
so I'm going to say C, Tim Berners-Lee.
31
OK, Sam, we'll find out later.
32
Now, because of coronavirus, the annual Web Science Conference was held online this year.
33
Its theme was making the web human-centric.
34
One of the conference's key speakers and co-founder of the new discipline of web science was Dame Wendy Hall.
35
Here she is speaking to the BBC World Service's Digital Planet.
36
People think about the web as a technology,
37
but actually it's co-created by society.
38
We put the content on,
39
we interact with the technology,
40
with the platforms, with the social media networks to create it.
41
What we study is how that works as an ecosystem,
42
this coming together of people and technology.
43
And it's very interdisciplinary, very socio-technical.
44
And of course, these days,
45
a lot of it is powered by AI.
46
Web science is not only interested in the technology side of the internet.
47
As a subject, it's very interdisciplinary,
48
involving two or more academic subjects or areas of knowledge.
49
Web science combines digital technology with subjects ranging from psychology and robotics to economics and sociology.
50
Exchanges between humans and the internet can be seen in social media networks – websites,
51
apps and computer programmes like Facebook and Instagram,
52
which allow people to use electronic devices to communicate and share information.
53
This view of technology sees the internet as an ecosystem,
54
a complex pattern of relationships and mutual influences that exists between all living things and their environment.
55
One ongoing and topical example of websites helpfully interacting with humans is the Covid contact tracing app.
56
You might think the mobile phone app,
57
which tracks movements and contact between people to combat coronavirus,
58
would be a useful, practical application of internet technology.
59
But as Carly Kind, director of the Ada Lovelace Institute in Cambridge,
60
explained to the BBC World Service's Digital Planet,
61
things are never that straightforward.
62
Actually, there's a lot of more fundamental questions that haven't been answered yet,
63
such as, is Bluetooth even an adequate mechanism for doing what it says on the tin,
64
which is detecting contact between two people?
65
The trials so far show that it's not actually that great.
66
And so do we know for sure that these apps work and they work in the way we want them to?
67
Do we get the public health information that we need?
68
Apps like this are designed to support public health,
69
services to improve the standard of health of a country's general population.
70
But Carly thinks the mechanisms used must be suitable
71
and adequate they must actually work or do what it says on the tin.
72
An informal idiom meaning work exactly as it is intended to.
73
To find this out, trials,
74
tests to discover how effective or suitable something is are carried out over a period of time.
75
The kind of trials which were carried out during the invention of the internet in the first place, right Neil?
76
Ah yes, the invention of the internet,
77
or to be more accurate, the World Wide Web.
78
In our quiz question, I asked you who invented the World Wide Web.
79
What did you say, Sam?
80
I said B, Tim Berners-Lee.
81
Well, you're a first-class web scientist,
82
Sam, because that is the correct answer.
83
Ah, great.
84
In this programme we've been hearing about web science,
85
a new interdisciplinary subject combining several areas of study which investigates the ecosystem of the internet,
86
the complex pattern of interconnections between humans and their environment.
87
Social media networks, websites and apps like Facebook,
88
which let people use electronic devices to communicate on the internet show how humans and technology can successfully interact.
89
A new Covid contact tracing app is currently undergoing trials – tests to see if it works effectively.
90
This will discover if it does what it says on the tin – works as it's supposed to.
91
If successful, by alerting people to coronavirus risks,
92
the app will support public health – services aimed at improving the health of the general population.
93
And that's all from us for now.
94
And we hope you'll join us again soon for more topical English vocabulary here at 6 Minute English.
95
Bye for now.
96
Bye-bye.

段階的シャドーイングガイド
このビデオを通じて英語スキルを向上させるためには、以下のステップをお勧めします。英語シャドーイングは特に有効な方法で、shadowspeakやshadow speakを活用してリスニングとスピーキングを同時に向上させることができます。
- 初めての視聴: 話の全体の流れをつかみ、内容の概要を理解します。重要なテーマやトピックに注意を払ってください。
- フレーズの書き出し: 上記のフレーズを含む文をメモし、自分の言葉で言い換えてみることで理解を深めます。
- 反復練習: 音声を聞きながら、いくつかのセクションをシャドーイングしてみます。スピードを落としても構いませんので、正確さに気をつけてください。
- 録音とチェック: 自分の声を録音し、ネイルやサムの話と比較してみます。発音やイントネーションを確認し、改善点を見つけてください。
- 会話の実践: 学んだフレーズを使って友人や家族と会話をすることで、自然に使えるように練習します。IELTS スピーキング対策としても役立ちます。
このプロセスを繰り返すことで、英語のスピーキング力が向上し、理解力も高まります。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、ぜひこの方法を試してみてください。
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。
