シャドーイング練習: How learning a language can be a messy affair - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

1
So I think one of the things that's really interesting, that I find interesting, is how language changes.
2
And it changes within groups.
3
So you notice it particularly with teenagers.
4
I've got teenagers in the house, so that's something that I pick up on.
5
And teenagers will change the meaning of a word that I will recognize.
6
So they'll say that something is sick, and I think, oh, that must be awful, terrible.
7
But actually, no, for the teenagers, sick is a really good thing.
8
So teenagers, to form their social group, their gang, they will deliberately change language and they'll make it their own.
9
And they will use it within their group and they actually don't really want other people to understand it.
10
So I think that's a really interesting area where you see a lot of language change.
11
You obviously get it with the number of different speakers
12
that we have around the world and different groups will use language in a different way.
13
So to me it's a really interesting area.
14
So it's very interesting.
15
Language obviously is always evolving.
16
But to me this idea that we play with language deliberately, you know, in order to consolidate our relationships,
17
I think that's a really kind of interesting area to work with.
18
And it's a good quality that we can work with our students on that, you know, being playful with language
19
and allowing them to have the freedom to play with it a little bit as well is good for their confidence, I think.
20
I think one of our jobs as teachers or something
21
that I believe in very passionately is that we need to be authentic.
22
So there's a tendency I think within education to simplify things for learners
23
and to make it all very clear cut so
24
that we have clear rules for the grammar and there's an answer and this is right and this is wrong.
25
And learners like that kind of security.
26
And I think as teachers, we often like that security as well.
27
We have a rule, we can teach it, we can mark the work.
28
But real language is much messier than that.
29
The boundaries are not always so clear-cut.
30
So for me, one of the jobs as a teacher is to try
31
and gradually get your learners used to
32
that idea get them used to tolerating ambiguity and being aware that there isn't always a clear right or wrong answer,
33
there are lots of exceptions to the rules, and that they should just be okay with that.
34
It doesn't matter all the time and you can make little mistakes, but so long as it's not really interfering with the communication too much,
35
then we don't have to worry about it.
36
So I think that's important for both teachers
37
and learners to sort of get used to that idea that we can't control everything.
38
It's a bit unrealistic.
39
Language in the real world just doesn't work like that.

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。
