6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
You may have one, or know someone who does, and at one time you've been one yourself.
6
I'm talking about toddlers.
7
A toddler is a young child, usually between between two and four years old who is learning to walk or toddling.
8
It's an important stage in a child's development as they learn to move and understand the world around them.
9
It's also known as the terrible twos.
10
When toddlers can't do the things they want to, they experience frustration, which often leads to tantrums – a sudden and noisy outburst of anger.
11
We've probably all seen the tears and screams when a young child can't have what they want.
12
Yes, the famous temper tantrums.
13
But being a toddler is also an exciting time as a child's personality starts to develop.
14
So what can we adults learn from toddlers?
15
That's what we'll be finding out in this programme along with some useful new vocabulary.
16
But first, I have a question for you, Beth.
17
Being a toddler is certainly an important stage in a child's growth.
18
But which of the following statements is true?
19
a toddlers are attracted to shapes that resemble the human body, b toddlers are more active than at any other time in their lives, or c toddlers can grow up to 3 centimetres during sleep time.
20
I think toddlers can grow up to 3 centimetres while they sleep.
21
OK Beth, we'll find out if that's the correct answer later in the programme.
22
At two or three years old, there's not much toddlers can do for themselves.
23
They depend on mum or dad to feed, clothe and care for them, so it's strange to think there's anything adults could learn.
24
But not according to Dr Hassan Murali, author of a new book, Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas, and father to his own toddler, who spoke with BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour.
25
When I see the toddlers by themselves, they're doing a lot of things out loud.
26
Little Julie's putting on her mitts and saying, Julie can do it.
27
And Colton's over on the side and he's looking down at his boots and they're on the wrong way.
28
And so he says, oh, Colton did this wrong.
29
And this idea of self-talk is really a way to decrease stress in anxiety-provoking situations.
30
Dr Morali observed toddlers talking to themselves out loud.
31
When you talk out loud, you speak so that other people can hear you.
32
But it's what the toddlers were saying that's really interesting.
33
When a little girl called Julie learned how to put on her gloves, she told herself, Julie can do it.
34
This is a special kind of talking out loud, known as self-talk.
35
Self-talk means the messages that you tell yourself and the way in which you tell them.
36
It's your inner voice and in toddlers it's usually positive and encouraging.
37
Unfortunately, as we grow up, our self-talk often becomes less encouraging and more critical.
38
Instead of a positive, loving inner voice, as adults we tend to tell ourselves, you can't do it or you're no good.
39
Here's Dr Murali again, explaining more to BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour.
40
We often get into the cycle of negative self-talk and I think one of the best strategies that we can do is give ourselves more positive self-talk.
41
So an easy way to do it is when you're down on yourself and angry with yourself, think about talking to yourself as a good friend instead of actually you.
42
And you'll notice that difference in how you talk to yourself.
43
As an adult, you might be down on yourself.
44
If you're down on yourself, you feel disappointed and self-critical about yourself.
45
When this happens, your self-talk gets very negative.
46
For example, telling yourself you're no good.
47
And this can lead to a negative cycle, a pattern of repeating the same negative thoughts over and over again.
48
This can be a problem, but not for toddlers who are naturally good at talking kindly to themselves and celebrating the little things, like learning to get dressed.
49
The solution for over-critical grown-ups?
50
According to Dr Morali, pretend you're talking to a good friend instead of to yourself, just like toddlers do.
51
It seems us adults can learn something from young children after all – being kind to ourselves.
52
When they're not having tantrums, toddlers really are wonderful little creatures.
53
Which reminds me of your question, Neil.
54
Right, I asked you which statement about toddlers was true.
55
And I said it was that toddlers can grow up to three centimetres while they sleep.
56
Was I right?
57
I think you know that you're not right, Beth.
58
That was the wrong answer.
59
It's true that toddlers do grow when sleeping, but not as much as three centimetres.
60
In fact, the correct answer was that being a toddler is the most active period of your whole life, which isn't hard to believe if you live with one.
61
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this programme about toddlers, young children who are toddling or learning to walk.
62
A tantrum is a noisy, uncontrolled outburst of anger, usually from a young child.
63
If you say something out loud, you say it in a way that other people can hear.
64
Self-talk refers to the messages that you tell yourself and the way in which you tell them.
65
It's your inner voice.
66
The phrase to be down on yourself means to feel disappointed and self-critical about yourself.
67
And finally, a negative cycle is a pattern of repeating the same negative thoughts over and over again – something a toddler would never do.
68
Once again, our six minutes are up.
69
But remember to join us again next time for more trending topics and useful vocabulary here at 6 Minute English.

コンテキストと背景
このプログラム「6 Minute English」では、幼児（トドラー）から学べることについて、また、大人としてどのように自分自身に話しかけるかを探ります。幼児は、通常2歳から4歳で、歩き始める重要な発達段階にあります。この時期、彼らの感情や自己表現が豊かになる一方で、フラストレーションを感じやすい時期でもあります。正しい自己対話を学ぶことで、ストレスを軽減し、前向きな思考を育む方法が紹介されています。
日常コミュニケーションのためのトップ5フレーズ
- Julie can do it.（ジュリーはできる） - 幼児が自信を持つための自己確認。
- Oh, Colton did this wrong.（ああ、コルトンはこれを間違えた） - 自己反省を促す言葉。
- I can try again.（もう一度挑戦してみる） - 再挑戦を促すポジティブな自己対話。
- It's okay to make mistakes.（間違えることは大丈夫） - 失敗を恐れず前進するための励まし。
- Let’s celebrate the small wins!（小さな成功を祝おう！） - 小さな成果を認めることの重要性。
ステップバイステップシャドーイングガイド
このビデオを通じて英語スピーキング練習や英語シャドーイングを行う際のポイントをご紹介します。特に幼児の健康的な自己対話に注目し、自分自身に対する優しい言葉を使うことが大切です。
- ビデオを視聴する: 最初に全体を視聴し、内容を理解します。幼児の思考プロセスに注意を払いましょう。
- フレーズを繰り返す: トランスクリプトから抽出したフレーズを声に出して繰り返します。感情を込めて話すことで、より効果的に覚えます。
- シャドーイングを行う: ビデオの音声と同時に声に出して繰り返します。この時、発音やリズムに注意を払いましょう。
- 自己対話を練習する: 幼児のように、自分自身にポジティブな言葉をかけてみましょう。「私はできる！」というように。
- フィードバックを受ける: 録音して自分の声を聞くことで、改善点を見つけます。英語シャドーイングの効果を実感しやすくなります。
このプロセスを通じて、英語スピーキングを効率的に向上させ、将来的にはIELTS スピーキング対策にも役立てることができるでしょう。また、shadow speechを実践することで、より流暢な英語を身に付けることが可能になります。
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。
