1
Hi, everyone.
2
I know you're all busy, so I'll keep this briefing quick.
3
I have some important information about a change in the management team.
4
As you already know, our head of department, James Watson, is leaving his position at the end of this week.
5
His replacement is starting at the end of the next month.
6
In the meantime, we'll continue with our projects as usual.
7
I have two more quick points.
8
Firstly, there will be some improvements made to the staff car park next month for a few weeks.
9
It will be closed during that time.
10
Don't worry, we've found a solution.
11
We can use the local church car park until our own one is ready.
12
If you arrive before 8.30am, please use our small car park on Brown Street.
13
And if you arrive after that, you should go directly to the church car park.
14
It's only a five-minute walk away, but they need it in the evenings, so you have to leave before 6pm.
15
Sorry about that.
16
I know how much you all love working late.
17
The other thing I wanted to tell you about is that the canteen has now introduced a cashless payment system.
18
So you can't use cash for payments anymore.
19
You can pay directly with your smartphone or you can pay using your company ID card.
20
The total amount put on your company ID card comes off your salary at the end of each month.
21
OK, that's it.
22
Are there any questions?

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.
