Section 3.
2
You will hear two primary school trainee teachers called Stefan and Magda discussing their placements for science teaching.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26 on page 6.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
5
Hi Magda, how was your placement?
6
It went really well.
7
The kids really enjoyed the science I did with them.
8
So did mine.
9
I think they found it very motivating.
10
Yes, the programme we had to teach was much better than the old-style science experiments we did at school.
11
Yes, though I don't understand why the children should have to build a model of a steam engine.
12
I tried it with the kids, but I couldn't get it to work.
13
Me neither, and it really shows it's hard to get any real results results.
14
Yes, and it's usually the children's parents, rather than the kids themselves, who favour that type of experiment.
15
So what experiments did you do?
16
Well, one day a discussion started in class about breakfast cereals, about which one was best.
17
One child then said that we should test them in class.
18
That's a nice idea.
19
Yes, and it wasn't expensive.
20
We brought four different brands of cereal and had everyone evaluate them for taste, appearance and sogginess in milk.
21
And are you going to tell me which one won?
22
No, I'll let you do it yourself.
23
It obviously isn't difficult to set up.
24
Another experiment we did, the sports teacher's idea actually, was to spend a morning seeing how high various balls bounced.
25
For example, do new tennis balls bounce higher than old ones,
26
and do basketballs that are fully inflated bounce better than flatter ones?
27
And I guess you got some interesting data.
28
We did, and they had to make a chart to plot the results.
29
It really improved their grasp of charts and graphs and calculation.
30
Apparently they'd had problems understanding the point of in the past.
31
Did all your experiments work out okay?
32
Well, we had one lesson on making paper from grass.
33
The children made a terrible mess in the classroom.
34
Whatever they did didn't work, and it wasn't because it was difficult.
35
I think it was because it didn't engage them at all.
36
It didn't seem to motivate them.
37
My tie-dying experiment went well.
38
They had to get a piece of material and twist it into a rope and then dye it.
39
The children did end up with blue and green hands for a few days though.
40
But don't you need to spend more than one lesson on that?
41
Yes, we did it over three classes.
42
The children really loved it though and one suggested we make scarves from the result.
43
I declined as my sewing skills aren't up to much.
44
I guess the one experiment that everyone loved in my class was making glue from milk.
45
I thought it would be a complete failure, but in fact it worked brilliantly.
46
One reason, I suspect, is that they got feedback straight away.
47
Some children get really restless if they have to wait for anything interesting to happen.
48
Yes, I think that's always a good idea.
49
Really helps to make it a success.
50
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30 on page 7.
51
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
52
I see you've got a diagram there for one of your experiments.
53
Yes, it was an idea I got from the internet.
54
It was very easy and straightforward to set up.
55
The idea is to make a condenser to extract essences from plants.
56
The large container's made of metal.
57
Right, and that holds the hot water?
58
That's right, and it has a strainer which sits inside it.
59
This is where you put the plant matter.
60
We use plants like rosemary, as the essence you can extract is quite strong.
61
So what's the container right at the top?
62
It's made of glass.
63
It's where we put the ice.
64
The glass container has a drip tip at the bottom.
65
What's that for?
66
It's where the essence collects.
67
Where does the essence go then?
68
Into the dish at the bottom.
69
It's made of pottery.
70
Sounds good.
71
I might try it with my class.
72
That is the end of section 3.
73
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
74
Thank you.
75
Thank you.
76
Thank you.
77
Thank you.

練習のコツ

このビデオのスピードとトーンに適したシャドーイングの練習を行いましょう。まず、リスニングを行った後に、一時停止して、話が続いている部分を真似して発音してみてください。特に、shadowspeakshadowspeaksのテクニックを用いると、リズムやイントネーションを身につけやすくなります。学習者は、再生速度を調整し、自分のペースで練習することもできるので、無理のない範囲で行いましょう。また、各セクションで聞こえた新しい語彙を用いて、自分自身で短い文を作成することで、語彙の定着を図ります。毎日少しずつ行うことで、IELTSスピーキング対策にも大いに役立つでしょう。

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。
