6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Phil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
So, Beth, we're talking about the best education systems in the world today.
6
You went to school here in Britain.
7
What do you think of the British education system?
8
Do you think it could be the best?
9
I think that it's quite good.
10
There's probably a couple of things that I personally would change about it,
11
but I would say it's quite good,
12
but maybe not the best in the world.
13
Well, in this programme, we're going to be talking about the PISA rankings.
14
The rankings are based on tests carried out by the OECD,
15
that's an international organisation, every three years.
16
The tests attempt to show which countries are the most effective at teaching maths, science and reading.
17
But is that really possible to measure?
18
Well, here is former BBC education correspondent Sean Coughlin talking to BBC World Service programme The Global Story.
19
When they were introduced first of all,
20
that was a very contentious idea because people said,
21
how can you possibly compare big countries,
22
how can you compare America to Luxembourg or to parts of China or whatever?
23
Sean said that the tests were contentious.
24
If something is contentious, then it's something that people might argue about.
25
It's controversial.
26
So, at first, PSATES were contentious because not everyone believed it was fair to compare very different countries.
27
Phil, I've got a question for you about them.
28
So, in 2022, Singapore was top of the reading rankings.
29
But which of these countries came second?
30
Was it A, the USA,
31
B, Ireland, or C, the UK?
32
I think it might be B, Ireland.
33
OK, well, we will find out if that's correct at the end of the programme.
34
A common pattern in the PISA rankings is that the most successful countries tend to be smaller.
35
Talking to BBC World Service programme The Global Story,
36
Sean Cochland tells us that many large countries from Western Europe don't score that highly in the rankings.
37
They're being outpaced and outperformed by these fast upcoming countries,
38
Singapore or Estonia or Taiwan or those sort of places,
39
which we don't historically think of as being economic rivals.
40
But I suppose the argument for the PISA test is if you want to have a knowledge economy,
41
an economy based on skills,
42
this is how you measure it.
43
We heard that many large European countries are being outpaced by smaller nations.
44
If someone outpaces you, they're going faster than you, at a higher pace.
45
We use the prefix out to say that someone or something is better at doing something.
46
We also heard that smaller nations are outperforming larger ones.
47
They're performing better.
48
Singapore, Estonia and Taiwan are described as economic rivals to large European nations.
49
That means that they are competing with them economically.
50
We also heard about a knowledge economy.
51
This is an economy based on service industries that require workers to be highly educated,
52
such as IT, finance or advanced engineering.
53
So what makes countries perform better in these tests?
54
Let's hear again from BBC World Service programme, The Global Story.
55
Sean Coughlin tells us that those countries that prioritise getting everyone to a certain level do well.
56
We also hear from Rando Kustik, an Estonian school principal.
57
Countries which make sure that all their pupils get through a certain level of education to a certain standard,
58
regardless of their background, do well.
59
If you are teaching them by different level of abilities,
60
then you are segregating them.
61
And we don't want to segregate any people in the world.
62
Why we are doing that in the schools,
63
this is one of the main things why Estonia is successful.
64
Sean said the most successful systems educate everyone to a particular standard,
65
regardless of their background.
66
If one thing happens regardless of something else,
67
it means that the something else is not important or not a problem.
68
Rando Kustik said that Estonian schools do not want to segregate students.
69
Segregate means to separate and keep apart.
70
So, we've just heard about Estonia,
71
but what about your question, Beth?
72
What about those countries?
73
Ah, I asked you which out of the USA,
74
Ireland and the UK came second for reading in the 2022 PISA rankings.
75
You said Ireland and that was the correct answer.
76
Well done.
77
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt in this programme about education rankings,
78
starting with contentious – argued about or controversial.
79
If you're outpaced by someone,
80
they're going faster than you are.
81
Rivals are competitors.
82
A knowledge economy is one based on industries that need highly educated workers,
83
such as IT, finance or advanced engineering.
84
If something happens regardless of a second thing,
85
the second thing has no impact on it happening.
86
And finally, if people are segregated,
87
different groups of people are separated and kept apart.
88
Once again, our six minutes are up.

この動画でスピーキングを練習する理由
このYouTube動画は、世界の教育システムを議論する内容です。特に、PISAランキングを通して国の教育の質について学べます。このようなテーマは、特定の感情や意見を表現するための良い機会を提供します。スピーキング「英語シャドーイング」の実践を通じて、ネイティブの発音やリズムを真似することができ、自信を持って話せるようになります。また、話題が社会的に関心のある内容であるため、実際の会話の場でも活用できる表現や語彙が豊富です。
文法と文脈における表現
この動画から学べるいくつかの重要な文法構造と表現を以下に示します。
- What do you think of ~ ? - 意見を尋ねる時に使われるフレーズです。自分の考えを述べる練習に役立ちます。
- If something is contentious, - 物事が議論を呼ぶ状況を表現するフレーズです。「議論になる」という意味を知ることで、より深い議論ができるようになります。
- Outpace - 誰かが他者を上回る様子を表す動詞です。この表現を使って、競争などの話題を話すことができます。
- Knowledge economy - 知識に基づく経済に関する表現です。現代の経済に関する議論をする際に重要です。
一般的な発音の罠
動画には、発音について注意が必要な単語がいくつかありました。特に、「contentious」や「outpace」などの言葉は、発音が難しいため、何度も聞いて練習する必要があります。また、発音の際に強調する部分やリズムを意識することも効果的です。「英語シャドーイング」を通じて、これらのトラップを克服し、流暢に話せるようになるための土台を築きましょう。
これらの要素を踏まえ、動画を何度も見て、リアルな会話の中で使える表現を身体に染み込ませることが、スピーキング力の向上に繋がります。練習する際は、shadow speechやshadowspeaksの方法を積極的に取り入れてください。これにより、YouTubeで英語学習をしながら、効果的にスピーキングのスキルを磨くことができます。
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。
