Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Pippa.
3
And I'm Beth.
4
Have you ever been scared of speaking in English?
5
In this episode, we're talking about why speaking in a foreign language can be so stressful.
6
So Pippa, do you ever get nervous speaking in a different language?
7
Yes, I learned French when I was younger and I was actually quite good at it,
8
I think, but I was really nervous when I was speaking French.
9
How about you?
10
Yeah, I've always felt like that with Spanish.
11
I am scared to speak because I don't want to make mistakes,
12
even though I know it's okay to make mistakes.
13
Well, in this episode of Six Minute English will be hearing about how to feel less nervous when you speak English.
14
And as usual, we'll be learning some useful new words and phrases.
15
You can practice these with the quiz and worksheet on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
16
But first, I have a question for you, Pippa.
17
So English has around one million words,
18
but on average, how many words does a typical English speaker use in daily conversation?
19
Is it A between 2,000 and 3,000,
20
B between 20,000 and 30,000,
21
or C between 200,000 and 300,000?
22
I'm going to say A, 2,000 to 3,000.
23
OK, well we will find out later in the programme.
24
Now Pippa, you said you found it stressful speaking in French even though you are quite good at it.
25
Now someone else who has had this experience is Hanan Razak.
26
Hanan is a journalist at BBC Arabic and also host of the podcast Beating Speaking Anxiety.
27
Here she is telling BBC Learning English presenter Georgie about speaking English.
28
My English was actually pretty good but having conversations with people I found it really difficult.
29
So when I first joined the BBC the learning English team made an assessment of my English level
30
which they used to do for all new joiners to see if they need any help or courses.
31
My results were pretty good and I was fluent but on
32
that very same day leaving the building
33
and going to get some coffee I couldn't really understand what the barista was saying
34
and I felt pretty nervous to order coffee and was trying to stress every single word,
35
hoping that my grammar is correct and I'm pronouncing the words right.
36
Yeah, I'm sure that's a situation lots of people can relate to.
37
Hanan's results on her English assessment were pretty good,
38
but she was still pretty nervous to speak in English,
39
for example, when ordering a coffee in English.
40
The modifier pretty means quite or a bit.
41
Georgie says that Hanan's experience is something that lots of people can relate to.
42
If you relate to a situation,
43
you know what it feels like,
44
usually because a similar thing has happened to you.
45
So lots of people feel nervous speaking another language,
46
even if they're good at it, like Hanan.
47
We can call this speaking anxiety.
48
Anxiety means an uncomfortable feeling or worry about something that is happening or could happen in the future.
49
So why do so many people have anxiety about speaking a foreign language?
50
Experts think it's connected to the beliefs we have about ourselves.
51
Han Luuo, professor of Chinese at Lafayette College in the United States,
52
explains more to BBC Learning English presenter Georgie.
53
You know, usually the beliefs that cause anxiety,
54
especially severe anxiety, are, we call it irrational beliefs.
55
And also like some low self-perceptions,
56
fear of negative evaluation, all those learner internal, you know, factors.
57
And Han says that learners worry about mistakes because they're scared of negative evaluation.
58
In other words, that people will judge them for their mistakes and think badly of them.
59
Han argues that irrational beliefs can make us anxious.
60
Irrational beliefs are beliefs that aren't based on things that are true.
61
They're not logical.
62
Han says some people who have speaking anxiety have low self-perceptions.
63
Your self-perception is what you think about yourself.
64
Self-perception and irrational beliefs are both internal factors.
65
They come from inside your head,
66
not from the people around you.
67
So, for example, when you speak your first language,
68
you might feel confident and intelligent.
69
But when you speak in a new language,
70
you make mistakes and feel less confident.
71
You can't show people what you're really like, and this is frustrating.
72
But as we tell people all the time at BBC Learning English, mistakes are normal.
73
You have to try to speak even though you make mistakes.
74
And mistakes can be a good thing.
75
They can help us learn.
76
And if you want more tips to improve your speaking,
77
listen to the Beating Speaking Anxiety podcast.
78
There's a link in the notes below this episode.
79
But Beth, I think it's time for the answer to your quiz question.
80
Yes, I asked you how many words does the average English speaker use in daily communication?
81
The answer is 20 to 30,000.
82
That's quite a lot.
83
Yeah, that's loads.
84
Okay, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt.
85
Pretty can be used as a modifier to mean quite or a bit.
86
If you relate to a person or situation,
87
you understand them, usually because you've experienced something similar.
88
Anxiety is feeling uncomfortable or worried about something that is happening or could happen in the future.
89
Irrational beliefs are beliefs about something that is not true.
90
They're not logical.
91
Self-perception is the way you see yourself.
92
And internal means inside the body or mind.
93

Об этой уроке

В этом уроке мы обсудим, почему многие люди чувствуют страх при разговоре на английском языке, даже если у них есть неплохие навыки. Кроме того, вы научитесь полезным словам и фразам, которые помогут вам преодолеть эту тревогу. Эти навыки особенно важны для тех, кто практикует shadowing английский — технику, улучшающую ваше произношение и уверенность в разговорной речи.

Ключевая словарная лексика и фразы

  • Speaking anxiety — тревога при разговоре. Это ощущение беспокойства, когда надо говорить на иностранном языке.
  • Pretty good — довольно хорошо. Описание уверенности в своих языковых навыках.
  • Relate to — понимать, что кто-то чувствует то же самое, что и вы.
  • Assessment — оценка. В данном контексте, это проверка уровня английского.
  • Barista — бариста. Человек, который готовит кофе, может быть источником стресса для изучающих язык.
  • Pronouncing words — произношение слов. Важно для уверенности в разговоре.
  • Grammar — грамматика. Правила, которые помогают строить правильные предложения.

Советы по практике

Одним из эффективных методов улучшения вашей разговорной практики является shadow speech. Когда вы слушаете и повторяете за носителем языка, вы не только улучшаете произношение, но и учитесь интонации и ритму. В данном видео речь идет в спокойном темпе, что делает его подходящим для работы с методом shadowspeak. Вот несколько советов, как эффективно применять этот метод:

  • Слушайте внимательно: Внимательно слушайте, как произносят слова и фразы, обращая внимание на эмоции и интонации.
  • Повторяйте сразу: После того, как вы услышали фразу, старайтесь сразу ее повторить, подстраиваясь под скорость говорящего.
  • Работайте над произношением: Получив фразу от носителя, сделайте акцент на каждом слове, чтобы улучшить произношение.
  • Не бойтесь ошибок: Помните, что ошибки — это часть процесса обучения. С каждым повторением вы будете становиться все увереннее.

Используя эти приемы, вы сможете преодолеть тревогу при разговоре и улучшить свои навыки общения на английском языке, активно применяя методы shadowing в своей практике.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
