レッスンを作成中...
1
so I'm here with Angela and in a previous interview we were talking about kids
2
and technology and devices and how these days often people look at their device
3
when they're with another person how do you feel about
4
that like if you're eating with somebody you're at dinner is it okay to check your phone
5
We have a rule in our house, no phones at the table.
6
Very nice.
7
Absolutely no phones.
8
Because you know, you see people, they meet in restaurants, they sit around a table, the food comes, but everybody's looking into their phone
9
and engaging with whatever they're doing on their phone and not talking to the people who have met them.
10
And you see people walking on the subway, the street, head in their phone.
11
It's, you know...
12
It is crazy.
13
It's really sad.
14
And if you think about it, we used to have, you know, manners, things you couldn't do.
15
For example, no elbows on the table, no hats inside the house I mean it sounds silly
16
but I remember those rules as a kid you know the one
17
that was really hard was the no elbows on the table yeah
18
so it's interesting
19
that we don't have new rules like we should reinvent them
20
like you can't have your phone on during the plane
21
when it takes off so your rule is a really good idea yeah
22
so you're an English teacher what do you think about phones in the classroom
23
if they're on a break I always call it their text break
24
because when I'm teaching English out here I find
25
that people have got their phone to their hand
26
and maybe they're googling a word or something
27
so it's not not too much of a distraction but
28
when you stop them for a break as soon as you
29
say let's have a break now they're all out with their phones
30
and they're sitting individually looking at their phones and it's silence I know you mean like I'll I'll teach.
31
And it used to be you would say, okay, take a break.
32
And it would be really loud.
33
They would start talking with each other.
34
And these days, it's just silence.
35
They just go and they do that motion of just flicking with their finger as they're scrolling down.
36
And I know I just sound like some old guy.
37
Hey, get off my lawn.
38
And I have the same problem.
39
I want to check my phone all the time.
40
But I have to admit, it's strange, I think.
41
Yes, yes.
42
And now you need to even check your phone.
43
You can just look at your Apple Watch or your watch on your wrist.
44
It's going to tell you if your phone needs your attention.
45
Well, it used to be where I would say things like, you know, as a teacher, you're teaching, and you can see if a student's looking down at their phone.
46
Yes.
47
And I would say, hey, don't check your phone.
48
But now these days, kids actually call me on it.
49
They're like, oh, I'm looking up a word, or oh, I'm checking something.
50
And they literally are checking something.
51
And the kids are good at using their phone as a learning tool.
52
Yes, I think that's fine.
53
So it's a gray area these days.
54
Yeah.
55
Yeah.
56
So when you're with somebody, you never pop out your phone.
57
I would admit that I would be guilty of checking my phone in my bag, but I would never get it out and go on Facebook or Instagram and stop Instagramming.
58
I would just look at it and put it away.
59
Yeah.
60
There's other things I've done.
61
I mean, it could be because I'm getting older.
62
But, for example, I try not to listen to my iPod so much anymore or my phone, radio, music, whatever.
63
I actually just try to listen.
64
I notice that when I'm always listening to everything, I kind of tune the world out and I might miss things.
65
You will miss things.
66
And, you know, you see people, I've been quite tempted some days to put my earphones in and walk to the BTS.
67
But actually I think, no, you'd miss the traffic noise, you'd miss the tuk-tuks, you'd miss a dimension of the world that's happening around you.
68
And then you get on the BTS and everybody in the carriage is head down in the same position on their phones.
69
yeah
70
and actually I don't do it just for that reason
71
because I notice that I'm missing out it's so tempting but I might see something

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。
