5
Come in.
6
Hi.
7
Oh, hi, Amanda.
8
You've come to discuss your midterm assignment, haven't you?
9
Yes, that's right.
10
So, what have you decided to do?
11
Well, I thought I could base my study on pronunciation
12
and get students to do some self -assessment of their own pronunciation skills.
13
That's interesting.
14
You mean get them to record themselves.
15
That's right.
16
Then listen back and see where their weaknesses lie.
17
Good idea.
18
You could also do some peer evaluation.
19
Oh, yes.
20
See whether their assessment of themselves matches what their classmates think.
21
Uh -huh.
22
So, how are you planning to do the assignment?
23
Well, I'm going to select a short extract from somewhere and ask them to read it aloud.
24
Maybe something from one of the textbooks we're reading.
25
Why don't you look up one of my lectures on the website and find a suitable extract there?
26
That way you'll be using authentic spoken language rather than written text, and it will be a model for students to listen to.
27
Oh yes, that's a much better idea.
28
I'll still have to write it out though, won't I?
29
Yes, I don't think you can expect them to remember it.
30
Even a sentence is hard to recall.
31
No, and it isn't a memory test.
32
So, when I choose the extract, what features do I need to think about?
33
Um, first I'd say pick something, well, something that's about a paragraph long,
34
but that makes sense out of the context of the lecture.
35
Right.
36
A clear, well -structured passage.
37
Yes, because to read something well, you've got to be able to understand it, haven't you?
38
Yes.
39
That might mean taking a while to make the selection.
40
I guess it shouldn't consist entirely of short words.
41
No, that's an obvious one.
42
You need to think about what features of pronunciation you're going to focus on.
43
Then make sure that your extract has examples of these.
44
So, some multi -syllable words.
45
Things like probably and approximately.
46
Yes, some challenges.
47
And then there's sentence length.
48
Hmm.
49
I should include some complex sentences so that the students have to show they know where to pause.
50
Exactly.
51
I wouldn't worry about how many sentences there are, but what you do need are some obvious main points.
52
So that they can stress things.
53
Yes, particular words or phrases should stand out as significant.
54
You know, we've already covered this in our classes over the weeks.
55
Now, let me see.
56
Is there a lecture that I could recommend for you?
57
What about the one you did at the start of term on the history of English?
58
Yes, you could go for that.
59
It had a lot of information which was clearly sequenced and presented, so you might find a nice chunk you can use.
60
The topic's a bit dull, though.
61
Uh -huh.
62
I guess it's good to use something enjoyable.
63
Yes, you might as well.
64
You have a choice.
65
So, um, the lecture on gestures and signs certainly went down well.
66
I really liked that one, but I'm not sure that the content is related to what I'm doing.
67
Hmm.
68
Does that matter?
69
OK, there's the one on intonation patterns.
70
I didn't take long to put that together though.
71
It might be a bit...
72
The topic's certainly more closely linked to the whole area of pronunciation.
73
OK.
74
So, could be good.
75
Just watch out in case there are too many examples or models.
76
The assignment after that lecture was fun.
77
What about language and rhythm?
78
That was one of my mini -lectures.
79
Oh, right!
80
So I wouldn't have to spend too much time going through the content to find something.
81
No, whereas the one on intonation patterns was a lot longer.
82
Well, you've got a few to choose from there.
83
So whatever I choose, I'll need to type it out
84
and give them a copy each and then get them to record themselves reading the paragraph aloud.
85
Yes, give them about ten minutes to prepare.
86
You can record in next Tuesday's class if you like.
87
Oh, thanks.
88
Do we have the equipment?
89
That's also important, yes.
90
They could use mobile phones, couldn't they?
91
Though the sound quality may not be good on all of them.
92
Technology can be unreliable at times, but OK.
93
Well, we can also bring in some of the department's digital recorders.
94
You just need to book those in advance.
95
OK, thanks.
96
Well, good luck and let me know if you need any more help.
97
It'll certainly be interesting to look at your findings afterwards.
98
Thanks, Dr White.
99
Thank you.
100
Track 10, Unit 3, Listening, Exercise 3 Come in.

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

StructuurIn de video
Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog teltYou've come · have you decided · we've already covered
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doetwas clearly sequenced
Betrekkelijke bijzinnen who / which + zin — extra informatie over een persoon of dinginformation which was

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 50 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, you've, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De “th”-klanken: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/
  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, evaluation /ɪˌvæljuˈeɪʃn̩/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, evaluation /ɪˌvæljuˈeɪʃn̩/, unreliable /ˌʌn.ɹəˈlaɪ.ə.bəl/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: aloud /əˈlaʊd/, afterwards /ˈæf.tɚ.wɚdz/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, passage /ˈpæsɪd͡ʒ/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: extract /ˈɛkstɹækt/, paragraph /ˈpæɹəɡɹæf/, afterwards /ˈæf.tɚ.wɚdz/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, passage /ˈpæsɪd͡ʒ/
  • /w/ — met ronde lippen: afterwards /ˈæf.tɚ.wɚdz/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, sequence /ˈsiː.kwəns/, weakness /ˈwik.nɪs/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als lecture, extract, pronunciation.

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.
