쉐도잉 연습: How learning a language can be a messy affair - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
So I think one of the things that's really interesting, that I find interesting, is how language changes.
2
And it changes within groups.
3
So you notice it particularly with teenagers.
4
I've got teenagers in the house, so that's something that I pick up on.
5
And teenagers will change the meaning of a word that I will recognize.
6
So they'll say that something is sick, and I think, oh, that must be awful, terrible.
7
But actually, no, for the teenagers, sick is a really good thing.
8
So teenagers, to form their social group, their gang, they will deliberately change language and they'll make it their own.
9
And they will use it within their group and they actually don't really want other people to understand it.
10
So I think that's a really interesting area where you see a lot of language change.
11
You obviously get it with the number of different speakers
12
that we have around the world and different groups will use language in a different way.
13
So to me it's a really interesting area.
14
So it's very interesting.
15
Language obviously is always evolving.
16
But to me this idea that we play with language deliberately, you know, in order to consolidate our relationships,
17
I think that's a really kind of interesting area to work with.
18
And it's a good quality that we can work with our students on that, you know, being playful with language
19
and allowing them to have the freedom to play with it a little bit as well is good for their confidence, I think.
20
I think one of our jobs as teachers or something
21
that I believe in very passionately is that we need to be authentic.
22
So there's a tendency I think within education to simplify things for learners
23
and to make it all very clear cut so
24
that we have clear rules for the grammar and there's an answer and this is right and this is wrong.
25
And learners like that kind of security.
26
And I think as teachers, we often like that security as well.
27
We have a rule, we can teach it, we can mark the work.
28
But real language is much messier than that.
29
The boundaries are not always so clear-cut.
30
So for me, one of the jobs as a teacher is to try
31
and gradually get your learners used to
32
that idea get them used to tolerating ambiguity and being aware that there isn't always a clear right or wrong answer,
33
there are lots of exceptions to the rules, and that they should just be okay with that.
34
It doesn't matter all the time and you can make little mistakes, but so long as it's not really interfering with the communication too much,
35
then we don't have to worry about it.
36
So I think that's important for both teachers
37
and learners to sort of get used to that idea that we can't control everything.
38
It's a bit unrealistic.
39
Language in the real world just doesn't work like that.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
