Shukran.

Good morning, Your Highness, Excellencies, friends and colleagues.
3
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be here today.
4
It's also an honor to join forces with Educated Child, an organization led by a woman who is an amazing role model,
5
a woman who has shown such relentless dedication to getting every child in school.
6
This is such an exciting day for us because it marks the beginning of a new era in my home country, Colombia.
7
Most of you may know me as an artist,
8
as an entertainer, and that's indeed my calling and what I've been doing since I was 13 years old.
9
But I never would have imagined when I started out
10
that my work as an artist would end up being the
11
vehicle for me to serve my greater purpose in life of working towards eradicating poverty through the power of education.
12
As a Colombian citizen, inequality is a concept that sadly one becomes very familiar with at a very young age.
13
It's a country like many others in Latin America, where a few have a lot, a lot have almost nothing,
14
and where if you're born poor, you will almost certainly die poor,
15
and where people don't access equal opportunities.
16
And because of that, generation after generation after generation live trapped in the same vicious cycle fed by prejudice and inaction.
17
Growing up in my country when I was around eight years old,
18
I remember I saw kids my age who instead of being in school were already working in the streets,
19
were barefoot in the park,
20
kids like me whose reality was completely different my mind only because of the circumstances into which they were born.
21
It was really hard for me to accept that, to accept that something so unjust didn't have a solution.
22
There had to be something that could be done.
23
So I often ask myself why the adults around me were
24
so resigned to the fact that these kids who were just like me
25
or even their own children were living in a parallel reality so different and so cruel.
26
As Kofi Annan put it, poverty is intolerable in a world of plenty.
27
So as soon as I had some success, the first thing I wanted to do was to invest as
28
many resources I could into what later would become the most meaningful project of my life, working for children.
29
So I set out to find a team, a team of people who dream big and worked hard
30
and thought like me to help me right the wrongs that I had witnessed throughout my entire childhood.
31
And that's when our foundation, the Barefoot Foundation, P.S.
32
Descalza Foundation was born.
33
I knew, and I was only 18 years old then, but I knew that I wanted to focus on children and improving their lives, but I didn't know where to start.
34
So I really felt that I needed to learn what the roots of inequality and low social mobility were.
35
So I decided to study the reasons why children were working in the streets,
36
or why some children were being recruited by the violent organizations like the paramilitary or the guerrillas.
37
Why were so many children suffering from chronic malnutrition?
38
And I realized that most of the issues that children face in my country had and have a common denominator,
39
the lack of access to quality education.
40
To me, it became crystal clear
41
that education was the surest way to give all of these kids the best fighting chance of improving their circumstances in life,
42
because education is the great equalizer.
43
When I started building schools in Colombia, we chose the most remote areas, areas where there was literally nothing,
44
no infrastructure, no paved roads, no electricity, no potable water and we decided to build in those places
45
but not only build schools but state-of-the-art schools schools with comprehensive models
46
that included ECD programs school feeding programs parent and teacher training
47
and another very important part is we decided to engage the government as a strategic partner
48
and made it nearly impossible for them to say no to
49
doing their part by showing them results through our holistic model that really proved to work.
50
We noticed that as soon as a school is built in those places, everything is transformed.
51
The improvements to the infrastructure were jaw-dropping.
52
Electricity, potable water were made available, made accessible, roads were paved,
53
malnutrition plummeted, but the best part of all is the academic results.
54
The kids really, really responded academically,
55
and now those kids who could have been recruited by the guerrillas or paramilitaries, or that could have had completely different outcomes for their lives,
56
they're now on their way to the university and thriving in their communities.
57
Some of them are athletes, some of them are professionals.
58
That's why I'm so, it really is a thrill to work for education.
59
That's why I'm so passionate about it,
60
because I've really seen results that are as palpable as this podium.
61
And seeing all these success stories that have a name
62
and a last name has been one of the most rewarding things I've done in my lifetime, even more so than winning Grammys, I think.
63
Now.
64
Now, that said, our work is far from being done.
65
Many, many developing countries are still rife with inequality and internal conflict, and there are a lot of kids who still need to be reached.
66
History is not only the past.
67
History is made every day in the present.
68
What matters now is how we go forward and how we fix what's wrong.
69
And that is the real challenge.
70
This is the goal of the SDGs and what people like Her Highness
71
and myself and so many more of you who are adamant about achieving are here for.
72
Facts don't lie, and numbers show what an incredible return on investment a quality education provides.
73
For instance, if all students in low-income countries left primary school with basic reading skills,
74
171 million people could be lifted out of poverty.
75
Systemic change often begins from the bottom up rather than the top down.
76
The government must take responsibility and we should all put as much pressure as we possibly can but the rest of all,
77
the civil society, should also do their part.
78
What we have discovered, both at PS Descalzos and Educated Child, is that many times only one single barrier to entry, such as no access to transportation
79
or basic needs like a functioning bathroom can prevent a kid from attending school
80
or even put them at risk of dropping out.
81
Sometimes all it takes to change a child's life is the security of a hot meal in school
82
or the ease of being able to hop on a bus that will leave you safely at your classroom store.
83
It's as simple as that.
84
And these are simple interventions and they don't cost a lot.
85
The biggest effort really is in mapping the communities, in going door to door,
86
searching for the out of school children, talking to the parents, talking to their families,
87
giving Putting a name and putting a story behind these children is the first step to start rewriting their story.
88
Over the next three years, we pledge to get 54,000 kids who are out of school or at risk of dropout into the educational system.
89
Ultimately, more than 295,000 people will benefit from this project,
90
including children, teachers, families, and community members.
91
New schools and classrooms will be built.
92
School kits and uniforms will be distributed.
93
Children will be enrolled in school feeding and transportation programs.
94
Teachers will be trained in strategies
95
and in how to identify those students who are at risk so they can receive psychosocial support.
96
And we are extremely confident that this partnership is only the beginning
97
and will be the model to replicate throughout my country until not a single child is out of school.
98
This is our responsibility.
99
Thank you.
100
This is our responsibility to our children and our debt to fulfill for the generations to come.
101
Thank you very much.
102
Thank you.

この動画が優れたスピーキング教材になる理由

シャキーラのスピーチは、英語スピーキング練習に最適な素材です。自然な流れのスピーチで、感情や信念が伝わり、日常的な表現からフォーマルな語彙まで幅広く含まれています。特に、「不平等」や「教育の重要性」といった深いテーマを平易に語る様子は、shadow speak(シャドーイング)の練習により、発音だけでなく語彙力や思考力も養えます。IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ、論理的な展開が特徴です。

自然な表現の秘密を解き明かす

  • 「It's also an honor to join forces with Educated Child」:「join forces with」は「~と協力する」という自然なフレーズで、単なる「work with」よりも協力の強さが伝わります。
  • 「poverty is intolerable in a world of plenty」:「plenty」を使うことで「豊かな世界」を簡潔に表現し、対比を強調しています。
  • 「education is the great equalizer」:「equalizer」は「平等化するもの」という意味で、比喩的な表現が印象的で、議論を引き立てます。

効果的な練習ルーティン:repeat-and-record

shadowspeakの基本である「聞いて即座に繰り返す」練習を推奨します。まず動画を10秒ずつ再生し、その後すぐに自分の声で録音します。録音したものを元のスピーチと比較し、アクセントやイントネーション、ペースの違いを確認しましょう。特に、シャキーラが感情を込めて語る部分は、shadowspeaksの練習で自然な表現力を身につける好機です。1日10分、1週間続けると、発音の精度とスピーキングの流れが格段に向上します。

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。
