8
All you need to do is literally just listen and repeat.
9
So we're going to be listening to and repeating essential sentences and phrases for everyday communication.
10
And the form it will be using is kind of like the old style tape recording.
11
It's like shadowing except for it's ready and served to you on a silver platter.
12
You don't need to search for someone to shadow.
13
All right, before we jump into the practice itself, I'd like to say a huge thanks to the sponsor of this portion of the video.

19
Moreover, you can practice your speaking and conversational skills without any fear of making mistakes and being judged.
20

21

22

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。
