1
Daily stand-up meetings, they can be terrifying for someone with basic English skills
2
and that's because talking in front of other people
3
and being the center of attention while you're explaining something in English
4
when you don't feel confident doing so can be a real challenge.
5
What is a daily stand-up meeting?
6
A daily stand-up meeting is a short meeting
7
that lasts for about 15 minutes and it's meant to plan for the next 24 hours.
8
It helps the team be on the same page
9
because it creates an understanding of what everyone in the team is working on.
10
It's usually held in the morning every day at the same time
11
and place and it's called stand-up because people are usually Standing up to keep the energy high.
12
That's very important.
13
These kind of meetings.
14
They have to be Short and in sharp and you have to focus and contribute
15
Daily stand-up meetings can be held in two ways
16
The first method is called round robin
17
and in this method people are sitting in a circle and they go one by one answering three questions.
18
What did I work on yesterday?
19
What am I working on today?
20
And what is blocking me?
21
We're going to go back to these questions later in the video.
22
The other method is called walking the board
23
and in this method there's a board with all the tasks
24
and each team member stands and picks the tasks they're working on
25
and I talk about the progress they made and the blockers
26
and other people in the team can offer to help with those blockers to help this person make progress.
27
What is the challenge with these stand-up meetings?
28
Well, if English is not your first language and you're struggling a little bit with English,
29
you may face two main challenges.
30
The first one is not knowing how to say what you want to say.
31
And the second one is not paying attention to what the other people are saying
32
because you're too worried about what you have to say.
33
And if you do that,
34
you're missing the point of the daily standard meeting.
35
So how do you avoid that?
36
By preparing your answers to the three questions that we mentioned before.
37
Let's see how to do that.
38
How do you answer these questions?
39
To answer these questions, the first thing
40
that you have to take into account is the tense that you use to answer them.
41
So for example, to answer the question,
42
what did I work on yesterday?
43
You have to use the simple past and say something like,
44
yesterday I worked on this and that.
45
To answer the question, what am I working on today?
46
You can use the future and say something like,
47
today I will work on this and that or today I am going to work on this and that.
48
You can also use the future continues and say,
49
today I will be working on this and that.
50
And you can also use a simple present and say,
51
today my plan is to do this and that.
52
Now, how do you answer the question, what is blocking me?
53
Well, here you can use the simple present and say,
54
my main block or my main impediment is this and that
55
and you can also use the present continuous
56
and say what is blocking me
57
or what is preventing me from making progress is this and that let me give you some concrete examples
58
yesterday i worked on a bug that was causing the invoice price not to have gst included
59
Today I'm going to work on generating a PDF receipt.
60
What's blocking me is the integration with Xero because I'm waiting for the credentials.
61
Yesterday I worked on getting the survey responses from the provider.
62
Today I will finish that and start working on the address validator component.
63
Nothing is currently blocking me.
64
Yesterday, I worked on the test scripts for the ordering flow.
65
Today, I will start the test automation for invoice generation.
66
I can't move forward with testing in Pre-Prod because I'm waiting for that environment to be set up.
67
So when other person is talking about what's blocking them,
68
you can offer to help.
69
And for that, you can use several expressions.
70
For example, you can say,
71
I can help you out with that,
72
or I can give you a hand with that,
73
let me help you with that,
74
or why don't I give you a hand or help you,
75
do you want me to help you,
76
would you like me to help you,
77
or would you like me to give you a hand,
78
I'd be happy to help you,
79
I'd be happy to give you a hand,
80
I'd be glad to help,
81
or do you want me to have a look?
82
So remember this, confidence comes with preparation and practice.
83
Prepare well, you already know what the questions are going to be,
84
so you can write your answers in Spanish
85
and translate it into English using the Google Translate
86
or any other translator that you you know
87
but please please please use your common sense to improve those
88
translations you can also write your answers on a Google Doc
89
and see what the autocorrect feature suggests so you can improve it
90
that way and make sure
91
that you know how to pronounce the verbs in the past both irregular
92
and regular and then repeat so repeat answering these questions
93
and why do I talk about repetition
94
because the more you say your answers the easier
95
and the more natural they will come in the future you can kind of
96
because the questions are always set you can kind of memorize a template in your mind
97
and then you fill in the blanks with whatever tasks you're doing at the moment
98
so remember preparation and repetition practice
99
that was it for today I hope you have enjoyed this video
100
and all the best in your next daily stand-up meeting see you next time bye
101
Thank you.

Sobre Esta Lição

Nesta lição, você vai praticar como se comunicar efetivamente em reuniões diárias, conhecidas como "stand-up meetings". Essas reuniões são rápidas e têm o objetivo de atualizar a equipe sobre o que cada um está fazendo, além de identificar quaisquer impedimentos. Você aprenderá a organizar suas ideias e a responder três perguntas-chave: o que você fez ontem, o que fará hoje e quais são suas dificuldades atuais. Aprender a usar os tempos verbais corretos ao falar sobre suas atividades diárias também será um foco importante.

Vocabulário e Frases Chave

  • Daily stand-up meeting: Reunião diária rápida para alinhar a equipe.
  • What did I work on yesterday? O que eu fiz ontem?
  • What am I working on today? No que eu estou trabalhando hoje?
  • What is blocking me? O que está me impedindo?

Dicas de Prática

Para maximizar sua prática de conversação em inglês, é essencial usar a técnica de shadow speak durante os vídeos do YouTube. Assim, você pode ouvir e repetir as frases em um ritmo que se adapte ao seu nível de inglês. Tente reproduzir a entonação e a velocidade do apresentador, o que tornará mais fácil para você se expressar durante suas próprias reuniões. Pratique diariamente, escolhendo um vídeo sobre stand-up meetings e utilize o shadowing em inglês para se familiarizar com a linguagem e o vocabulário específicos.

Se alguma parte do vídeo parecer rápida, não hesite em pausar e repetir várias vezes. Além disso, prepare respostas para as três perguntas que você irá responder durante a reunião e fique atento aos tempos verbais que você utilizará. Este é um método eficaz para construir sua confiança, especialmente se o inglês não for sua primeira língua. Ao usar um shadowing site ou somente o YouTube, você pode aprimorar suas habilidades de escuta e fala ao mesmo tempo, facilitando seu aprendizado e elevando sua capacidade de se comunicar com clareza e confiança.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
