Shadowing Practice: 2 Unexpected Ways to Stop Sabotaging Yourself - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
There's an enlightening
2
and sometimes slightly painful exercise one can do by oneself to
3
learn a bit more about the origins of how one feels and behaves.
4
Pick out something emotional that you know you're not very good at now and write it down on a sheet of paper.
5
Here are some examples.
6
Staying calm.
7
Taking pride in yourself.
8
Trusting.
9
Missing people who go away.
10
We often observe these traits in ourselves with a mixture of puzzlement and embarrassment.
11
Why are we like this?
12
Why can't we be more normal?
13
What's up with us?
14
To find a way to some answers, continue to the second part of the exercise.
15
Insert the above entries into the following sentence.
16
How safe would it have been for you to do this in your childhood?
17
i.e. staying calm, taking pride in yourself, etc. Now, try to reflect on why it might have been unsafe to do or feel a certain way in the past.
18
It didn't feel safe to feel calm because maybe someone was drinking heavily in the house.
19
It didn't feel safe to take pride in oneself because maybe someone was obsessively jealous.
20
It didn't feel safe to trust because someone was cruel or unreliable.
21
It didn't feel safe to miss people who were absent because maybe the pain would have broken one's heart.
22
Notice that in all cases, what in later life becomes a problem starts off by being a very clever protective strategy.
23
We are more mysterious to ourselves than we should be
24
when we fail to see that much of what we do
25
that looks odd or unusual in adult life is really a relic of a protective strategy
26
that made a lot of sense in childhood.
27
The point of waking up to the origins of a protective strategy is
28
that we can then learn to see that it isn't necessary to hold onto it any longer.
29
There is no reason to fail at work in order to avoid the spectre of jealousy,
30
we can afford to miss people when they go because they'll be back and we can dare to feel and to love.
31
We need not continue our loyalty to our past protective strategies once we understand the particular circumstances
32
that once made them so necessary and that now no longer apply.

Over deze les
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
