Shadowing Practice: DVD1.2 Guide 03. Sample Lesson Plans - Learn English Speaking with Video
Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
Now, keep in mind that this series is organized like a reference work.
2
It's organized by sound.
3
While there is a certain logic to proceeding from disc 1 beginning to disc 5 end, your best advantage is to mix things up,
4
experience the benefits of cross-training.
5
A good analogy here is how athletes train alternating running, swimming, and bicycling.
6
By training different muscle groups in different patterns, you experience improvements in all areas without overexerting in any one area.
7
People have often asked me, for example, well shouldn't I just be practicing to feel the difference between SH and CH,
8
since that's a particular problem area for me.
9
Yes, give that area regular practice, but also practice, for example,
10
more sustained N and M consonants.
11
Why they'll ask, I already do N and M very well.
12
Yes, I'll say, but learning to really excel at some things you already do well will raise
13
your skills in these problem areas because speech is synergistic.
14
It's an organic process.
15
You're not just a machine where you can put oil on the squeak.
16
It's the same reason I suggest alternating among the three energies,
17
tonal energy , structural energy and consonant energy .
18
Each is a different type of vocal dynamic and is an organic process.
19
Each improvement in one dynamic is going to bring better performance in the other dynamics.
20
Often sudden, unexpected and wondrous improvements when suddenly the synergy happens.
21
So a typical cross-training session might include one tonal vowel like one structural vowel like
22
one legato consonant like one staccato consonant like linking practice intonation practice
23
consonant clusters, and a movie scene.
24
This kind of session might take 30 minutes in self-study, 50 to 90 minutes in a classroom setting.
25
Initial training sessions include work on tonal vowels,
26
structural vowels, neutral vowels, consonant energy, connected speech, intonation.
27
Random training sessions.
28
Now, you could let the DVD player select lessons in random order.
29
These three steps are how a number of DVD players work for setting up a random session.
30
Look for the shuffle or random keys.
31
Your DVD player may work differently.
32
Consonants not only shape and articulate our speech,
33
they have great musical values that are often overlooked by untrained speakers.
34
Realizing these musical values makes your speech not only more understandable,
35
but more sonorous, more persuasive and impressive.
36
Just learning to sustain the legato qualities in the N and the M is very pleasing and musical,
37
and brings a fullness to your speech.
38
Consonant Clusters, DVD 4.
39
These tongue-twisting monologues are meant to be fast-moving.
40
Grasp what you can, as you get familiar with the linked phrases, and eventually master these.
41
If you can grasp only one phrase, or even one vowel, or one consonant, that's progress.
42
With practice, you'll pick up more and more, and when you can go through an entire scene with all the vowels,
43
consonants, linking, and intonation in proper play, you will have accomplished a very demanding exercise.
44
Don't feel bad about taking this step by step.
45
When you're still grasping at pieces of scenes, it's not important to keep in sync with the speaker.
46
You can be a little behind.
47
It is important that you feel the focus of your points of vibration.
48
As you get to know the scene, try to stay in sync with the speaker and mirror the form and feeling of the speaker.
49
For beginning students, you may want to write on the blackboard the linked phrases, blue underlined on the video,
50
or use the pause to stop and work through phrases with a careful deliberation.
51
There is some fun in discovering the rhythms of longer dialogues as you master the linked phrases
52
and a sense of accomplishment in being able to repeat these articulate and fluent.
53
Intonation Preparation.
54
Review the Y-Buzz siren on DVD 1.
55
This This teaches how to feel pitch change.
56
Foreign students should go for extremes in feeling a jump up, step down in pitch patterns.
57
Later, after feeling the extremes, it's much easier to modify intonation to more subtle expressions.
58
Note all of the variety in pitch and rhythms used throughout the program.
59
Practice Scenes DVD 5.
60
You could start a session with a movie scene, then go back and work technique from earlier in the series.
61
As time goes by and the areas that need more work come into focus, you can select the sounds and techniques that you know need more work.
62
The most advanced approach, after students have learned the scene completely, is to walk through the scene,
63
the way we walk through the scene on the video at the end of each work through section.
64
This will reinforce the intentions in the scene.
65
Followers of Total Physical Response will favor this approach.
66
Right before you play a program, go to the blackboard and quickly outline the main ideas, just to reinforce what's coming.
67
Discuss key phrases like feeling,
68
vibration, sensation, stretch stage one, two, and three.
69
Advice like work at your own pace, just grab as much as you can.
70
During faster moving scenes, especially from DVDs four and five,
71
each student should just do as much of the scene as he can do completely with energy.
72
Even one One vowel or one consonant or one connecting link executed correctly marks progress.
73
This is different from whole language learning.
74
Whenever you are reviewing any English materials from your curriculum, reintroduce techniques learned here and let the training carry over.
75
For instance, read this using intonation to make the main ideas stand out.
76
Or read this in three stages of energy, playing the structural vowels.
77
Or read this twice, playing the consonants, first for full musical value, then to convey meaning.
78
Or read this making all the connecting links and underplaying weak forms.
79
Here's the thing about vocal energy and this kind of work.
80
You can and often must spend a long time practicing without feeling like you're making progress.
81
Instant gratification comes only so far as feeling the energy while you practice.
82
Then one day, you begin to notice a different quality and clarity creeping into your speech.
83
More and more without even thinking about it, the synergy is setting in, and your speech has made a dramatic and permanent improvement.

Mastering English Speaking: Insights from a Sample Lesson Plan Video
Learning English speaking isn’t just about memorizing words—it’s about training your mouth, ears, and brain to work together. The video shares a practical approach, comparing language practice to athletic cross-training. Just as athletes mix running, swimming, and cycling to build overall strength, English learners should blend different skills to improve holistically. This method is perfect for anyone looking to improve English pronunciation or boost their IELTS speaking practice.
5 Key Phrases to Elevate Your Daily Speech
- "Speech is synergistic" – Remember, improving one skill (like sustaining "N" and "M" sounds) boosts others (like distinguishing "SH" and "CH").
- "Tonal, structural, and consonant energy" – These three vocal dynamics work together; focus on all for natural speech.
- "Legato qualities in N and M" – Sustaining these sounds makes your speech more musical and full.
- "Grasp what you can" – When tackling tough consonant clusters, progress comes from mastering small pieces first.
- "Focus on points of vibration" – Even if you’re behind the speaker, feeling where sounds vibrate in your mouth is key.
Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for Effective Practice
Shadowing—repeating speech immediately after a speaker—is a powerful tool for english speaking practice. Here’s how to use the video’s lessons for shadow speak success:
- Start with cross-training sessions: Mix skills like tonal vowels, consonant clusters, and intonation. A 30-minute self-study session could include linking practice, a movie scene, and staccato consonants. This variety prevents burnout and builds synergy.
- Use random mode for flexibility: Let your DVD player shuffle lessons to mimic real-world language exposure. This keeps practice dynamic and prepares you for unexpected speech patterns.
- Tackle consonant clusters slowly: These tongue-twisters are meant to be fast, but beginners should pause, write down linked phrases, and focus on one sound at a time. Don’t worry about keeping up—priority is feeling vibration points.
- Mirror the speaker’s form: As you get familiar with a scene, try to sync with the speaker’s pace and emotion. This helps with natural intonation and rhythm, crucial for IELTS speaking practice.
- Be patient with progress: Mastery takes time. Even if you only grasp one phrase, you’re building foundational skills. Use a shadowing site or pause the video to break down tricky parts.
By combining cross-training, intentional shadowing, and a focus on musical consonant qualities, you’ll not only speak more clearly but also more persuasively. Remember, every small step counts—consistency is the key to success.
Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
