シャドーイング練習: Practice: Dropping The Verdict - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
読み込み中...
1
Come and join me for a few minutes in a practice that I call dropping the verdict.
2
All I'm going to ask is that you bring one small judgment to mind,
3
and then practice holding that judgment a little more lightly.
4
First, settle wherever you are and make sure you're sitting comfortably.
5
If you'd like to, you can gently close your eyes or just soften your gaze.
6
now take one deep breath and let whatever you were doing a moment ago begin to settle let your body arrive here
7
in the present moment there's nowhere else you need to be right now
8
If you're sitting comfortably, let your mind wander to a stretch of time that you've already thought you've wasted.
9
Maybe it was sometime this morning or last night or before that.
10
When did you think that you wasted time?
11
Now notice where you feel this judgment in your body.
12
You might notice a small tightening, a flicker of guilt, a familiar urge to justify yourself.
13
Whatever the sensation, focus on it.
14
you're not trying to change the feeling just to notice
15
that it's there and that it arrived quickly almost before you decided anything at all
16
now ask yourself gently without needing an answer right away
17
is this judgment true or is it a story that I'm telling myself And before you try to answer,
18
notice the movement of your mind.
19
Notice how quickly it wants to make a case.
20
Notice how it wants to defend your judgment or argue against it.
21
to prove that the time really was wasted or to prove that it wasn't.
22
For a few breaths, see if you can do neither.
23
Just let the judgment be there.
24
A Zen teacher named Lin Ji, more than a thousand years ago,
25
said that our judgments are flowers of no consequence.
26
They bloom quickly in the mind,
27
and we don't have to make them into more than they are.
28
So for these next few breaths, see if you can let the judgment be just that.
29
A thought that appeared, a flower blooming in the mind,
30
something you can notice without needing to hold it so tightly.
31
Breathe in.
32
Breathe out.
33
Let the body soften again.
34
The judgment might just loosen a little, take up less room than it did a minute ago.
35
A life is not made up of days that pass or fail some test.
36
life is made slowly through what we give our attention to through who we give our attention to
37
through the small moments that we may not know how to measure
38
Stay with this thought for a while if you'd like.
39
And then when you feel ready, return to the rest of your day.

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。
