Welcome to course one technical support fundamentals.
5
My name is Kevin Limehouse and I work as a support specialist for platforms building double click at Google.
6
Looking back, I can trace where my passion for IT began to an actual moment when I was eight years old.
7
My parents were about to throw away our old busted computer, but I managed to convince my mom to let me keep it.
8
I remember the moment when I slowly started disassembling it.
9
I kept digging deeper and deeper, unscrewing every little piece I could get my hands on, and I was hooked.
10
By the time I was 12 or 13 years old, I became the de facto IT support for my entire family,
11
and that's no small feat considering I have 11 aunts and uncles and over 35 cousins.
12
My parents both grew up in very small rural towns in South Carolina.
13
Growing up in the Jimco South through the mid 1950s and 1960s, they were taught at an early age that one of the better methods to get ahead was through education.
14
This lesson was instilled in me and my sister and I ended up going to university to study computer science.
15
I graduated school right at the end of the 2007-2009 recession, but thankfully I secured a job at Google
16
and IT support where I work with users solving their issues and supporting the IT inventory.
17
And now I've been working at IT for seven years.
18
In my current role as a support specialist, I provide technical and billing support to Google sales teams,
19
which involves everything from troubleshooting to creating forms or editing automation scripts.
20
And now you know a little bit about me.
21
Let's start from the beginning.
22
What is information technology?
23
Information technology has completely transformed your life in ways that you may not even realize.
24
Thanks to IT, we can communicate massive amounts of information to people
25
and organizations across the world in the blink of an eye.
26
Computers power everything from calculators to medical equipment to complex satellite systems and the trading desk of Wall Street.
27
They're powerful and invaluable tools to help people get their work done and enable us to connect with one another.
28
So what exactly is information technology?
29
IT is essentially the use of digital technology like computers
30
and the internet to store
31
and process data into useful information the IT industry refers to the entire scope of all the jobs
32
and resources that are related to computing technologies within society
33
and there are a lot of different types of jobs in
34
this field from network engineers who ensure computers can communicate with each other to hardware technicians who replace
35
and repair components to desktop support personnel who make sure
36
that end users can use their software properly
37
but it isn't just about building computers
38
and using the internet it's really about the people that's the heart
39
and soul of IT support work what good is technology
40
or information if people can't use technology
41
or make sense of the information IT helps people solve meaningful problems by using technology
42
which is why you'll see its influences in education medicine journalism construction transportation entertainment
43
or really any industry on the planet IT is about changing the world through the ways we collaborate, share, and create together.
44
IT has become such a vital tool in modern society
45
that people and organizations who don't have access to IT are at a disadvantage.
46
IT skills are becoming necessary for day to day living, like finding a job, getting an education, and looking up your health information.
47
Maybe you're from a community where there wasn't any internet, or you couldn't afford a super fast computer and had to use one at your school or library instead.
48
There are many social and economic reasons why some people have digital literacy skills and other people do not.
49
This growing skills gap is known as the digital divide.
50
People without digital literacy skills are falling behind, but people like you are the real solution to bridging that digital divide.
51
Overcoming the digital divide not only involves confronting and understanding the combination of socioeconomic factors that shape our experience,
52
but also helping others confront and understand those experiences.
53
By getting into IT, you'll help serve those in your communities
54
or organizations and maybe even inspire a new generation of IT pioneers.
55
When I think about solving the digital divide, I can't help but think of all the opportunities and breakthroughs
56
that folks from diverse backgrounds and perspectives in the industry can bring.
57
By bringing more people of color, more women, more ethnically diverse people into the IT
58
we're bound to see unique new ideas and products that we haven't even begun to imagine that benefits everybody.

このレッスンについて
このビデオでは、ITサポートの基礎について学びながら、英語のスピーキング力を向上させる練習ができます。Kevin Limehouseさんの自身の経験談からITの定義、デジタルディバイドなどの重要な概念まで説明されており、日常的な会話から専門用語まで幅広い表現が含まれています。IELTSスピーキング対策や英語スピーキング練習にも最適な内容です。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- Information Technology (IT)：情報技術のことで、コンピューターやインターネットを使ってデータを処理する技術の総称です。
- Digital divide：デジタルディバイドとも言い、デジタルリテラシーのスキルやIT機器のアクセスにおける格差のことです。

練習のコツ
このビデオのスピードは比較的ゆっくりで、語調も親しみやすいので、shadowing（シャドーイング）の初心者にも適しています。shadowing siteでよく推奨される方法ですが、まずはビデオを1回聴いて全体の流れを把握し、次に1文ずつ止めながら真似してみてください。特にKevinさんの「I was hooked」のようなイントネーションや、「no small feat」のような慣用句の発音に注目して、英語の発音を良くすることが重要です。また、「IT is about changing the world...」のような長い文は、息継ぎの位置を覚えながら練習すると、流暢さが向上します。繰り返し練習することで、自然なスピーキング力が身につき、IELTSスピーキング対策にも役立ちます。
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | has become · haven't even begun |
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。
