1
Many students prepare for IELTS speaking by memorising answers.
2
But then the examiner changes the question and they freeze.
3
Today I'm going to show you how to answer any IELTS speaking question fluently without memorising.
4
Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy,
5
here to help you become a confident speaker of English and today to answer any IELTS question fluently.
6
Now, you may say, Keith, what's wrong with memorising?
7
Yes, sure, I mean, memorise words, memorise phrases, collocations, but don't memorise whole answers.
8
It's too much work.
9
It's too much stress on your brain in the test.
10
Also, the examiner knows and that brings down your score.
11
It makes you sound robotic in the test, which is not good.
12
Fluency is flexibility, not memorization.
13
So to be honest, fluency comes from having a system of study over a long period of time.
14
You need to make sure you're not studying the wrong way.
15
Don't spend months and months studying the wrong way.
16
You know, when I used to teach in a school face-to-face, I would see students wanting to improve their speaking, and they were in the library,
17
looking at the books, reading, studying for hours.
18
And now and again, I would ask, when do you actually speak?
19
Oh, we have no chance to speak.
20
So, of course, it doesn't work.
21
Where's the fluency?
22
Where's the flexibility?
23
So today, I'm going to show you five things you can do
24
that will help you answer any IELTS speaking question fluently and flexibly.
25
This is in this video.
26
There is then a part two,
27
a second video, which I will put in my YouTube channel members area for members of the channel.
28
If you want to join the YouTube channel, you can go to the link in the description for the price of a coffee each month get lots of extra videos, plus part two to this video,
29
where I'm going to show you that system
30
that you can follow to study so you can answer questions fluently and build long-term fluency for the rest of your life.
31
How good is that?
32
Right now, let's get into today's video, five things you can do to answer any question fluently.
33
Number one, have a good mindset.
34
Don't try to be perfect.
35
everybody hesitates and pauses
36
and needs time to think it's natural focus on communication not
37
the perfect answer with fancy complex vocabulary focus on communicating your idea
38
and remember in IELTS speaking there's no right or wrong answer there's no right or wrong opinion or idea,
39
the examiner will only listen, pay attention to your language.
40
So relax, believe in yourself, have that positive mindset.
41
Number two, take your time.
42
Don't follow the pace of the examiner.
43
Some examiners speak really quickly.
44
Hello, come in, sit down, what's your name?
45
Don't try and keep up with the examiner.
46
Take your time, speak at your pace.
47
My name's Keith O'Hare.
48
Right?
49
So speak at your own pace.
50
Be confident with silence.
51
The examiner's silence and your silence.
52
When they ask a question, So do you like cooking?
53
Actually, yes, I do.
54
I enjoy cooking.
55
Be comfortable with that silence.
56
And finally, everybody, even native speakers, need thinking time.
57
Just time to get an idea and say something.
58
So take your time.
59
Number three, use phrasing. in your speech.
60
Phrasing is the deliberate pause between phrases, right?
61
Different from hesitation.
62
Hesitation is like, well, to be honest, I prefer not to eat fast food.
63
That's hesitation.
64
Phrasing is where you pause after each chunk deliberately.
65
So the examiner may ask, so do you like cooking?
66
Well, to be honest, I prefer not to eat fast food, even though it's delicious.
67
You see the difference?
68
The pausing, the phrasing is where you chunk your phrases with natural pauses.
69
How do you learn this?
70
First of all, Now I've told you, when you listen to English, try and notice the phrasing.
71
Notice where speakers, native speakers or proficient speakers, pause naturally.
72
There's no rule for this.
73
It goes with the flow.
74
But you can start to pick it up by first noticing.
75
Second, try shadowing.
76
And then you'll be imitating these pauses.
77
It takes time, but having that natural phrasing and pausing, deliberate pausing, helps you answer your questions much more fluently.
78
Number four, connect your ideas.
79
Remember, there's no right or wrong ideas or good or bad ideas.
80
It doesn't matter, but you need to connect them so they float.
81
And we use connectors to connect our ideas, right?
82
You don't want the examiner going boom, boom, boom.
83
What are you talking about?
84
You want the examiner to follow you easily.
85
Ah, okay, nice and fluent.
86
So use connectors to connect your ideas, but use spoken connectors.
87
So to give an opinion,
88
I think I reckon give a reason because the reason I say so is to give a consequence or a result.
89
So as a result of this, that's why to add information on top of that,
90
I would also add And to give an example, let me give you an example.
91
Natural spoken connectors help you become much more, well, express your ideas much more fluently.
92
Let's move on.
93
Number five, get into the flow.
94
And this, it's a bit like a river or a stream flowing that when you're speaking after lots of speaking practice,
95
not reading or memorizing, but speaking practice, it becomes easier to just flow.
96
You speak and words flow and come out easily.
97
And it is a matter of practice.
98
If you can get into that flow, then follow it.
99
And you know you can just feel, it becomes easy.
100
The big mistake some students make they get into the flow and they start thinking, oh, I should use advanced vocabulary.
101
Oh, better grammar, bigger grammar.
102
And suddenly they stop and they slow down and they lose that flow and they make a mess.
103
Get into the flow and stay there.
104
Trust yourself to produce the language you're going to produce and going to need.
105
Don't overthink.
106
Just kind of let go of the grammar the vocabulary and get into the flow.
107
So there you have it.
108
Five tips to help you answer any IELTS speaking question fluently.
109
Have a good mindset.
110
Take your time.
111
Use phrasing.
112
Use connectors.
113
Get into the flow.
114
Now, the problem is tomorrow you might forget all of this.
115
What you really need is a system to help you implement and use these ideas on a regular basis.
116
So I've got a part two video which is in my YouTube channel members area.
117
Join the YouTube channel, you get access to lots of extra videos each month as well as this video
118

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。
