So, for the past 20 years,
3
I've been helping Malaysians and other Southeast Asians to speak better English.
4
And through training thousands of Southeast Asians,
5
I've discovered a very surprising truth.
6
I've discovered that how well somebody communicates in English actually has very little to do with their English level.
7
It has a lot to do with their attitude towards English.
8
There are people out there who have a very,
9
very low level of English and they can communicate very very well.
10
One of them that I remember was a student,
11
a participant of mine named Faisal.
12
He was a factory supervisor.
13
English level very very low,
14
but this guy could just sit and listen to anybody very calmly,
15
clearly, and then he could respond absolutely,
16
express his thoughts beautifully at a very low level of English.
17
So today I want to share with you what is
18
so different about people like Faisal how do they do it
19
and second of all why is this so important not only to you
20
but to your children to your community and to the future of Malaysia
21
and third of all what's one thing you can do starting today
22
if you want to speak with that calm clear confidence
23
that people like Faisal has so first of all what is
24
so different how do people like Faisal do it so to answer
25
that question I'm going to take you back about 10 years okay
26
so I was training staff at that time and my daughter at
27
that time was taking piano lessons
28
and I started to notice two really strong similarities between my daughter's attitude
29
or thinking towards playing the piano and a lot of Malaysians thinking
30
or attitude towards English now first of I should tell you my daughter absolutely hated piano,
31
hated the lessons, hated practicing.
32
This is my daughter practicing piano, okay?
33
This is as good as it got.
34
This is the real thing.
35
And she dreaded going to piano lessons because to my daughter,
36
going to piano lessons, she was filled with this sort of dread because it was all about not screwing up, right?
37
because like for a lot of piano students,
38
to both my daughter and her teacher,
39
her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.
40
Now at the same time,
41
I noticed that a lot of Malaysians went into English conversations with the same sort of feeling of dread,
42
this sort of feeling that they were going to be judged by how many mistakes they were going to make
43
and whether or not they were going to screw up.
44
Now the second similarity that I noticed was to do a self-image.
45
You see, my daughter, she knew what good piano sounded like, right?
46
Because we've all heard good piano.
47
And she knew what her level was.
48
And she knew how long she'd have to play for to speak,
49
to play like that.
50
And a lot of Malaysians,
51
I noticed, had this idea of what good,
52
proper English is supposed to sound like.
53
And what their, I see a lot of you nodding.
54
and what their English sounded like,
55
and how far they'd have to go to get there.
56
And they also felt like they were,
57
like my daughter, just bad.
58
Bad piano player, bad English speaker, right?
59
My English is not so good, I cannot.
60
Sorry, I cannot.
61
So I could see these similarities,
62
but I still couldn't figure out,
63
okay, what is it about these people like Faizal,
64
that are so different, that can just do it smoothly, calmly, with confidence?
65
And one day I discovered that answer,
66
and I discovered it quite by chance.
67
It was a day when my computer broke down and I had to go to a cyber cafe.
68
Now, okay, it was my first time,
69
and I discovered cyber cafes are disgusting places, okay?
70
They're really gross, they're smelly,
71
and they're filled with boys,
72
and they're all playing noisy, violent games.
73
They're just disgusting places.
74
But I had to go there.
75
So I sit down and I start noticing this guy beside me.
76
And I become very, very interested in this guy next to me.
77
Now this guy is playing this game that is basically,
78
it's like shooting people until they die.
79
And that's it, right?
80
That's the game, right?
81
And I'm noticing that this guy is not very good.
82
He's like, in fact, terrible, right?
83
Because I'm looking and I'm seeing like a lot of shooting.
84
and not much dying, right?
85
But what really interested me was,
86
behind this lousy player were three of his friends sort of standing there watching him play.
87
And what I really noticed was,
88
even though this guy was terrible,
89
even though his friends were watching him,
90
there was no embarrassment, there was no feeling of being judged,
91
there was no shyness.
92
In fact, quite the opposite this guy is like totally focused on the bad guy,
93
smile on his face.
94
All he can think about is killing these guys, right?
95
And I'm watching him, and I suddenly realized this is it.
96
This is the same attitude that people like Faisal have when they speak English,
97
just like this guy.
98
When Faisal goes into an English conversation, He doesn't feel judged.
99
He's entirely focused on the person that he's speaking to and the result he wants to get.
100
He's got no self-awareness, no thoughts about his own mistakes.
101
Now, I want to share with you a real,
102
true example, to paint a picture of somebody who speaks English like they're playing piano
103
and someone who speaks English like they're playing a computer game.
104
And this is a true story.
105
Happened to me.
106
A while ago, I was in a pharmacy.
107
I had to buy Omega.
108
My doctor said I should get Omega.
109
And I go to the shelf, there's tons of Omega.
110
There's Omega that's high in DHA,
111
Omega that's high in EPA.
112
I don't know which one to buy.
113
Now, the sales rep happened to be there,
114
and I saw she was like this well-dressed professional woman.
115
I walk over to her,
116
and I see this look as she sees me,
117
It's a look I recognize very well.
118
Her eyes go all wide.
119
It's sort of that panic,
120
oh my God, I've got to speak to a native speaker,
121
she's going to judge me and notice my mistakes.
122
I go up to her and I explain my situation,
123
which omega do I get,
124
and she starts explaining to me everything about DHA and EPA you could possibly imagine.
125
She speaks very quickly, goes all around in circles,
126
And when she finishes, no idea what to buy.
127
So I turn to the girl behind the counter.
128
Now, the girl behind the counter,
129
I heard her before, her English level is very low.
130
But when I walk over to her this girl
131
there's no fear in fact she's just looking at me you know
132
that look like yeah okay so how yeah I've been in Malaysia a long time
133
so I go up to her
134
and I explain the problem EPA DHA she looks at me
135
she says okay up EPA for heart DHA for brain your heart okay
136
or not I said yeah yeah I said my heart is
137
really it's I think it's pretty good she says your brain okay
138
or not I said yeah no no my brain is not
139
as good as it used to be she looked she said okay you take omega dha can
140
problem solved right
141
so we've got two different kinds of communicators we've got the one who's got a high level
142
but totally focused on herself and getting it right and therefore very ineffective
143
we've got another one low level totally focused on the person she's talking to
144
and getting a result effective and therein lies the difference
145
now why is this distinction so important not just to you to your children
146
but to the future of malaysia and countries like malaysia
147
and to answer
148
that let's take a look at who actually is speaking english in the world today okay
149
so
150
if we looked at all of the english conversations in the
151
whole world taking place right now on planet earth we would see that for every native speaker like me
152
there are five non-native speakers and
153
if we listen to every conversation in english on planet earth right now we would notice
154
that 96 percent of those conversations involved non-native english speakers only 4% of those conversations are native speaker to native speaker.
155
This is not my language anymore.
156
This language belongs to you.
157
It's not an art to be mastered.
158
It's just a tool to use to get a result.
159
And I want to give you a real-life example of what English is today in the world,
160
real English today.
161
This is another true story.
162
I was at a barbecue a little while ago.
163
This was a barbecue for engineers,
164
engineers from all over the world.
165
And they were making hot dogs.
166
Now, some of the hot dogs were regular hot dogs,
167
and some were these cheese hot dogs,
168
you know, with the cheese in the middle.
169
French engineer is cooking the hot dogs,
170
and he turns to this Korean engineer and he says,
171
Would you like a hot dog?
172
And the Korean guy says, Yes, please.
173
He says, do you want the cheese?
174
And the Korean guy looks around at the table.
175
He says, I know sea cheese.
176
French guy says, ah, the hot dog contains the cheese.
177
Korean guy doesn't understand him, right?
178
So the French engineer tries again.
179
The hot dog is making with the cheese.
180
Korean guy still doesn't understand.
181
He tries again.
182
He says, the cheese is coming from the hot dog.
183
Korean guy cannot understand.
184
Now, this Japanese engineer who's been listening to this conversation,
185
turns to the Korean engineer and he says,
186
Ah, ah, ah, ah, chisa integrator.
187
He understands.
188
Okay?
189
Everybody understands.
190
So this is what English is today.
191
It's just a tool to play around with to get a result,
192
like a computer game.
193
Now the challenge is that we know in schools all around the world,
194
right, English is not really being taught like it's a tool to play with.
195
It's still being taught like it's an art to master.
196
And students are judged more on correctness than on clarity.
197
Some of you might remember the old comprehension exam in school.
198
Anybody remember in school when you would get a question about a text that you read?
199
You'd have to read through some text, right?
200
And then answer a question to show that you understood the text.
201
And this may have happened to you,
202
that you showed that you understood the text,
203
but you got a big X because you made a little grammar mistake.
204
Like this student.
205
Now, this student clearly understood paragraph four,
206
But no, not correct, because he left the letter N off the word environment.
207
But in the real world, what would matter?
208
In the real world, what would matter is,
209
did you understand the email,
210
or did you understand your customer,
211
so that you can go ahead and take action?
212
Now, the problem that I see here,
213
over and over, is that people take the attitude they developed about English in school,
214
and they bring it into their adult life and into their work.
215
And if you're in a stressful situation and you're having a conversation
216
and you're trying to give a result to someone and say it correctly,
217
your brain multitasks, it cannot do two things at once.
218
And what I see is the brain just shutting down.
219
And you may recognize these three symptoms of the brain shutting down.
220
the first one is that your listening goes someone's talking to you
221
and you're so busy thinking about how you're going to respond
222
and and express yourself correctly you don't actually hear what the other person said
223
and i can see a lot of nodding in the audience
224
the second thing to go is you're speaking your mind sort of shuts down and that vocabulary you do know
225
just disappears and the words don't come out.
226
The third thing to go is your confidence.
227
And the worst thing about this is you may only be confident because you cannot express yourself clearly,
228
but to the person talking to you,
229
they may misunderstand this as a lack of confidence in your ability to do the job, to perform.
230
So if you want to speak English like Faisal with that great confidence,
231
here's the one thing that you can do.
232
When you speak, don't focus on yourself.
233
Focus on the other person and the result you want to achieve.
234
Imagine a next generation of Malaysians all with that wonderful confidence in communication that Faisal has at any level of English.
235
because let's remember
236
that English today it's not an art to be mastered it's just a tool to use to get a result
237
and that tool belongs to you thank you

コンテキストと背景
このTEDxトークのスピーカー、マリアンナ・パスカルは、過去20年間にわたりマレーシアやその他の東南アジアの人々がより良い英語を話す手助けをしてきました。彼女は、多くの東南アジアの人々をトレーニングした結果、コミュニケーションの上手さは英語のレベルよりも、その人の英語に対する態度に大きく関係していることを発見しました。たとえば、ファイザルという工場の監督は英語力が非常に低いにもかかわらず、堂々とした態度で自分の意見をしっかりと伝えることができました。このような人々がどうしてそんなにスムーズに話せるのか、その秘密を探ります。
日常コミュニケーションのための5つのフレーズ
- 「これについてどう思いますか？」 - 相手の意見を求める質問。
- 「もう一度言ってもらえますか？」 - 繰り返しをお願いする表現。
- 「私にはそう聞こえました。」 - 自分の理解を確認するフレーズ。
- 「それは興味深いですね。」 - 相手の話題を評価する際に使う。
- 「ぜひ試してみてください！」 - 何か新しいことを勧めるときに。
段階的シャドウイングガイド
マリアンナ・パスカルのトークを通じて、英語のスピーキングスキルを向上させるための効果的な方法を学ぶことができます。特に、shadow speak技術を活用することが有効です。以下に、この動画をビデオに合わせて練習するための手順を示します：
- まず、動画を視聴し、全体の内容を理解します。
- 次に、各フレーズを耳にしながら、発音を意識して聞き取ります。特に英語の発音を良くすることが必要です。
- その後、各フレーズのシャドウイングを行います。話されているフレーズを繰り返しながら、自分の声を録音してみましょう。
- 録音を再生し、自分の発音とネイティブの発音を比較します。
- 最後に、YouTubeで英語学習を続け、フィードバックをもとに改善していきましょう。
この方法を使うことで、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。そして、少しずつ自信を持って英語を話せるようになるでしょう。
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。
