レッスンを作成中...
1
in the past people would usually only mingle with people of similar cultures and backgrounds
2
in an increasingly global society it is becoming more common to have colleagues clients
3
and contacts from all corners of the globe
4
while this may herald a multitude of previously unheard of opportunities for businesses and individuals alike,
5
it also presents challenges.
6
When we are children, we are taught what is right and what is wrong.
7
We are taught how to act in specific situations and what to say and do around other people.
8
The challenge of a multicultural working environment is
9
that you may be dealing with people who were taught to say or do things differently than you when they were kids.
10
Does that mean that they're wrong?
11
No. But it does mean that an awareness of such issues can help make any cross -cultural exchange smoother and easier.
12
Recognizing and welcoming diversity is a key step towards true international business success.
13
And while we may not always agree with the way people from another culture do things in their day -to -day lives, it is important that we respect them.
14
One of the biggest challenges is not to make negative assumptions about people
15
if they do things differently from what you are used to.
16
If a Japanese contact is not comfortable with shaking hands, it doesn't mean that they don't want to touch you.
17
It simply shows that they are more used to greeting each other in a different way, by bowing.
18
If your Brazilian client is late for a meeting, it doesn't mean that you are not important to them.
19
It simply reflects the belief that arriving on time is rude.
20
Most Brazilians appreciate people who arrive after the allotted start time.
21
The world is a big place.
22
And there are a great many ways to do everything.
23
A little awareness of this can go a long way.

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。
