1
For me, my perspective is that English belongs to the world.
2
It is a world language.
3
There's no such thing as bad communication in English.
4
We hear a lot about social media today, about how it's affecting different areas of our lives.
5
I think the difficulty is going to be really knowing whether what you're listening to is real.
6
People join us from Everest Base Camp, you know, that's just fantastic.
7
So see if you can top that.
8
You're listening to the British Council English Podcast.
9
Brought to you by the world's English experts.
10
Perfect.
11
okay welcome to the english for life podcast everyone i'm here
12
today with neil with nearad you've probably actually already seen them quite often on our youtube channels um
13
and we're talking about social media and english language learning
14
so the effects that social media have had has had on english language learning
15
so neil i think you told me you've been teaching 30 what 30 you told Something like that, a few years.
16
A few years, many years.
17
So like real steadfast teacher here.
18
Niraj, how long have you been teaching?
19
Around just under 20 years.
20
Okay, so collectively, 50 years.
21
We've got about over 50 years experience.
22
Since before the days of the internet, never mind before the days of social media.
23
Okay, so we've got some solid guests on the show today.
24
I love how I've just made it my show.
25
It's not my show.
26
But also most interestingly for the conversation we're having today, you both work a lot with social media today.
27
Can you just quickly give like a one sentence liner on what you do with social media right now?
28
I manage the social media channels for learners that the British Council has worldwide.
29
And we have all the main kind of ones.
30
We have Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X and so on.
31
and basically you know we have millions of followers worldwide i think uh eight
32
and a half billion something like that and
33
and you know i communicate with them every day i'm online every day content
34
and live events everything like that every day online yeah every day nira
35
so i work with neil and an international team of people who are working on our social media channels
36
posting materials for english language learners and also participating in live events live lessons In fact,
37
me and Neil collaborate on a Friday live lesson.
38
You guys should tune in, by the way.
39
Fridays, what time?
40
Absolutely.
41
It's at two o'clock.
42
Two o'clock UK time, Fridays.
43
And it's all about, usually we're talking about writing skills for exams.
44
Voila.
45
Actually, Gabriel, you were right.
46
I don't know where he's gone.
47
Gabriel was right about that.
48
Okay, so I have a couple of questions for you guys.
49
Yes.
50
Because you've, so you've been teaching, we said, around 30 years, 20 years.
51
Yes.
52
So you've seen a shift.
53
You were teaching when social media came on the scene.
54
Absolutely.
55
So what I'm really interested to know is we hear a lot about social media today, about how it's affecting different areas of our lives.
56
I'm interested, how do you think or how have you noticed that social media has affected English language?
57
teaching beforehand
58
so how has it affected you in your jobs okay that's a really good question I'm not sure
59
that it's affected teaching as much as it could have
60
because I'm not sure that teachers are always entirely on board with social media in that
61
but in terms of learners it's had a tremendous effect you
62
know I was just saying to Neeraj before we started
63
when I started teaching there was no opportunity for learners in countries to communicate with other people in English in any way.
64
You know, the only English they generally got was in class at school or from cassette tapes.
65
We may have to show a picture of that because I don't know if people even know what cassette tapes are anymore.
66
But now, you know.
67
They're coming back in.
68
That's true, yeah.
69
Now people are communicating in English every single day through social media.
70
They're linking up with groups of people who have the same interests as them.
71
They're sharing their ideas they're communicating in a real, a genuine communicative way, you know, about their ideas, their thoughts,
72
their opinions, whether they're, you know, on a Taylor Swift board someplace, or whether they're on Reddit or, you know, whatever they're doing, they're able to actually communicate in English,
73
you know, and read lots of English, watch lots of English, and interact with it in a meaningful way, which just wasn't possible when I started teaching.
74
It just didn't exist.
75
Yeah, that's true.
76
Well, I would say for teachers, from a teacher's perspective, social media has given us platforms
77
that where we can collaborate with each other
78
and also find a community where we support each other
79
and share ideas
80
so that's it's been a I mean for me personally having
81
access to a group of teachers like-minded teachers who are sharing materials
82
and ideas and supporting each other saying you know well done for that great work I think that's really useful.
83
You're right yeah that kind of community of practice among teachers has been a big benefit
84
and the sharing
85
and we've got one we've got those you know for example
86
the British Council teaching English community where you've got teachers from
87
all over the world asking questions sharing their problems saying what do I do about this we publicize training
88
and all kind of upcoming events as well
89
so it keeps people in the loop about what opportunities are available in developing their skills as teachers yeah
90
but I just I just want to one thing
91
that you said Neil
92
which kind of um just to just to see what you have to this challenge
93
but But the fact that people are using social media, so here I'd be talking about learners.
94
So they'd be using social media every single day to write in English, talk in English, etc. Is there a level,
95
therefore, where there is a dilution of English in the sense that, what do I mean by that?
96
I mean, because people have to use it a lot more frequently
97
and because it's so much more globalized and because people aren't necessarily learning with teachers.
98
Do you know what I mean?
99
That there's a kind of, there's a new, there's maybe, and maybe it's just an evolution of english but one where
100
it's you're talking about moving away from a standard moving away from a standard
101
but then people not knowing what the standard really is people not knowing what the standard is
102
and is that a good thing is
103
that a bad thing i don't know what are your thoughts on
104
that and do you mean like in terms of the standards in um their writing their production
105
or their speaking all of it all of it yeah
106
and just as an anecdote i mean it's not necessarily completely linked to social media
107
but um i remember going to an engineering school here in paris
108
and everybody was um so they were all speaking english
109
but there were no there was nobody in the group who uh had grown up speaking english
110
and so it was really funny
111
because i entered into the i entered into the room everybody
112
was speaking english they were french colombian uh kind of from all over the world
113
and I started speaking and they all just stopped
114
and looked at me
115
and they were like we've never had like somebody who grew up in the UK come in here before
116
and they were like your English is really different to ours
117
and they all spoke English fluently
118
but it was like it was almost like another English had evolved
119
and so it's not that example isn't specifically linked to social media
120
but I can see how
121
that would happen like you were talking about gaming English like people speaking
122
and gaming and using abbreviations all the time and
123
that just yeah sinking into everyday English I think you're touching on the topic of who does English belong to
124
and does it belong to the native speakers of English
125
and I mean that's a whole that's another massive area of research and debate
126
for my for me my perspective is
127
that English belongs to the world it is a world language
128
and people use it as they need it as they need to in order to communicate the ideas
129
that they want to and as long as everybody understands each other, that's fine.
130
Then why teach English if there's no standard?
131
If you can do anything you want with it?
132
Well, it's not a case that you can do anything you want with it all the time.
133
But for me, there's no such thing as bad communication in English.
134
You know, if people are communicating English about gaming and it's engaging with the language and they're using it, they're learning different ways to express their ideas,
135
Because they're communicating, like what you said there about your engineering school, that filled my heart with joy and happiness.
136
The idea of walking into a room with all these nationalities, voluntarily speaking in English, I wouldn't want to impose anything on that.
137
I think that's a wonderful thing in itself.
138
And like Neera says, it's a world language.
139
It belongs to everyone and there are different purposes.
140
Of course, there are situations for work and everything else where you have limitations and where you have to use standard forms.
141
I think we underestimate people.
142
I think people are aware of that.
143
And if they're not, it's quite easy to kind of bring it up.
144
I mean, you know, there are lots of kind of TikTok videos
145
and things like that of Gen Z people at work kind of speaking in some way.
146
I'm sure it can happen.
147
People can use different language and it might be inappropriate at times.
148
But I think it's a very small thing that's easily overcome.
149
I think people learn in your own language.
150
You know, you switch all the time.
151
Yeah, I mean I was going to say, I mean online, in social media you often see people
152
uh criticizing each other's use of English and we're talking about native speakers, it's not written like that or you've missed an apostrophe there
153
and so there's such large variation in the way we use native speakers use their own language.
154
Who owns English?
155
I don't know if our listeners know that there is no body that actually officially controls English language like
156
perhaps I think in French, that France has an institution that is the official body that
157
makes all the rules or says whether there are words allowed or not.
158
That doesn't exist in English.
159
Yeah okay, we're currently filming in France, hence the, I think, the French reference potentially.
160
Yeah, well also because they are the only kind of, yes.
161
Oh are they?
162
Are they the only?
163
Well it's the only one.
164
Spain has a Real Académie de Español and they produce the official grammar
165
and the dictionary and words are officially authorized
166
or not based on what they say
167
and it's a group of people who are academics
168
and experts in the language but
169
but do people pay attention to it um sometimes yes
170
because the the the rules are what is applied in in certain contexts academic context
171
and and the the official government bulletins and reports
172
that come out whether a word is accepted
173
or not depends on what these people say
174
so we're kind of drifting away a little bit from social media thinking that and And just to bring it back, you know, basically, I understand what you're saying.
175
You're absolutely right.
176
You know, if your goal is to become a doctor
177
and to study medicine in English and to practice as a doctor in English, obviously, your needs are going to be very different from somebody whose goal is to progress in World of Warcraft
178
or something like that.
179
That's fine.
180
But one helps the other, in my experience.
181
You know, the fact that the beautiful thing about social media for me, the thing that the reason that I love it is
182
because it does connect people and it gives them a chance to communicate about what they're passionate about, what they're interested in.
183
And it doesn't feel like work.
184
It doesn't feel like they're studying.
185
It's like you were saying earlier, inadvertent learning.
186
Yeah.
187
You know, they're not going there necessarily to learn English, but they're using English and learning English.
188
And the impact is tremendous.
189
I've seen it, you know, in students.
190
And quite a common thing, I mean even my students to this day say to me, oh I wish I could practice more English, practice more speaking, practice more writing.
191
Well, social media gives you that opportunity to practice with live, you know, real people in front of you.
192
You're not practicing with a machine.
193
That's the big question that we get online on our social media channels all the time.
194
I have no one to practice with, you know, and we have to say to them, you're practicing right now.
195
You're practicing as you write, as you type.
196
And it does transfer, you know, you might only be writing, typing comments and stuff like that,
197
But that does support your speaking and everything else and all of your kind of familiarity and fluency in English.
198
It does help.
199
So we have lots of content coming out.
200
So one way to practice is go and watch it all and write your comments in the comments box.
201
And we'll reply to them as well.
202
Yeah, you do.
203
So I have one question that I wanted to get on, which I think will be, so what do you think if you had a
204
if you had to learn it
205
so you learners are watching this video we hope we hope what would be one thing
206
that you would say is brilliant about the way
207
that they can use and you've kind of touched on this already
208
but just as a one-liner brilliant about social media
209
and using social media to help them learn English and one thing
210
that they need to be wary of so
211
if you could give me one each basically
212
so Neil one thing that's brilliant about it and one thing
213
that they need to be wary of
214
and same for you Neeraj for me the the thing that's brilliant about is the flexibility is the fact
215
that there's the whole range however you want to interact you
216
can interact you know I love tick-tock you know I know it's embarrassing for a man of my age
217
but I can't help it I love it And for me, to spend half an hour, 30 minutes, 40 minutes doing that, it's a joy, it's a pleasure.
218
So that's a great thing.
219
But other people might be interested in other things.
220
They might be on Reddit, they might be on Instagram, they might be on X.
221
Whatever you want to do, wherever you want to practice, whenever you want to engage in that way, you can do it.
222
And you can follow, like I said earlier, your passion or your interest.
223
That's the good thing.
224
What could be more convenient than pulling out your phone while you're on the bus for 10 minutes?
225
You just listen to a podcast or a reply to comment on somebody's post.
226
Yeah, so the flexibility, anytime, anywhere, whatever platform you want to go with that.
227
Wary?
228
Something to be wary of, yeah.
229
Yeah.
230
Well, there is...
231
This is going to be really hard for Neil.
232
It is.
233
I'm a bit, you know, super positive on this.
234
But there are, of course, I mean, one of the things that we have problems with is, it's not specifically related to language learning,
235
but obviously misinformation and amplifying negative behavior and so on.
236
That can certainly happen.
237
And I think it's something that people are younger than me, which is everyone, let's face it,
238
are better at kind of doing and navigating than we give people credit for.
239
But there is a risk, and there's a risk of misinformation, even in terms of language teaching.
240
I see some content which is factually incorrect.
241
So how can they be aware of that?
242
Like how can you be aware of that?
243
If you're watching it you don't know the grammatical principle of something, like how do you know okay this person I should be listening to, this person I shouldn't be,
244
specifically with English language learning?
245
Well that's the same skills as kind of discerning any kind of information from the internet, you know you would check the source of the information,
246
who's making it, what kind of credentials they have,
247
is it somebody who's got a long career in English language teaching and producing this kind of material,
248
how many people are in, how many, the kind of people that endorse them as well, there's a kind of whole list of factors,
249
I'm sure I'm missing out a few things, but looking at those kind of things tells you the quality of the information you're being given
250
and also contrasting what you're hearing
251
or what you're looking at with what other people say as well
252
and if you see
253
that they come inside they're saying the same thing it's probably something to pay attention to yeah
254
so it is a risk i mean you know you're right people don't necessarily have the time
255
or the motivation to dig in and kind of say is this
256
you know is this person a good provider is this content really good
257
or not they just kind of go through that
258
but to an extent i mean i i think it goes
259
back to what i said earlier about there not being any bad way to interact even
260
if you're doing that you know the more you do it the more you experience things like
261
that there's a lot of self-policing goes on like you said
262
earlier with people criticizing their own yeah language things like
263
that you do get things like that popping up from time to time
264
and people going that's not true that's rubbish
265
and we even get it on our we get people popping up on our websites telling us we're wrong
266
which we are
267
but you know then we have to speak to them whenever you know i understand where you're coming from them
268
but actually you know and it kind of works.
269
And what about you Niraj?
270
One brilliant and one...
271
You've just reminded me of something I did with a couple of students and
272
a little
273
while ago one of my students I got her to to
274
create a blog where she was posting audio of her English
275
speaking answering questions over the course of a couple of years and
276
so I said by the end of the you know the
277
two years you'll be able to listen back to how you started and then listen to all your progress.
278
And, you know, these things were made public and posted and generally the comments were good, but sometimes there were some comments that weren't that nice.
279
And I think that's a problem with social media, that if you put yourself out there, you make yourself vulnerable, you can get trolled.
280
What a good idea, though, for learners to do that, to, like, document their...
281
I don't know how many...
282
I mean, do you often tell your students to do that?
283
I mean the idea came from a it was a teacher's conference I went to
284
and the speaker said you know we get lots of writing
285
and it's easy to correct you've got a record what about
286
speaking what's the record of speaking well record everyone's got a phone it's good
287
and to add another dimension to it why not publicize it
288
and make it available and then other people can listen to it and you get feedback from a much wider variety.
289
And so I went with that idea and did some experiments.
290
So yeah, coming back to the idea of trolling and negative feedback, I mean that is something that social media has that risk.
291
And then there's kind of psychological impacts of that as well.
292
You know, if you, a lot of influences complain of being quite heavily trolled
293
and that affects their mental health um okay thank you
294
so much i have one thing
295
that i really would love to get your thoughts on um oh
296
which one should i go for um yeah what tre based on
297
so both of you spend a lot of time as we
298
said on uh on social media right now as part of your jobs
299
so what trends do you foresee say in the next
300
like five years uh of of english language learners
301
of how english language learners use social media to learn english
302
but in the next five years like how do you see them using it that's not happening currently
303
but little little things that you're seeing
304
that's a it's a good question um it's a difficult question because
305
prediction in this field is so difficult because five years ago nobody would predict a tick tock
306
and you know this has taken over the world this is
307
and you know two years ago nobody would predict a gpt
308
and it's taken over the world yeah yeah it's a tough one but that's why i'm going to let Neeraj go first.
309
I don't know, I think a lot more people would be incorporating AI to the way they use social media,
310
having their posts checked automatically.
311
Perhaps I think the difficulty is going to be really knowing whether what you're listening to is real,
312
whether it's been created by a person or it's been put together.
313
So So we're going to hear a lot better quality of English because everything will be checked and filtered.
314
Do you think that's going to create a separation between what they can actually do then?
315
Yeah, yeah, what's the reality?
316
Yeah, exactly.
317
Yeah, yeah.
318
What reality?
319
And then it could change expectations as well.
320
Interesting.
321
How people feel they should present themselves in English.
322
how real they can be.
323
That's what I think.
324
That's so interesting.
325
How about you, Neil?
326
I mean, there's a couple of issues there that I was kind of thinking of.
327
Social media itself, I would say, is largely a kind of democratising kind of thing.
328
We have audiences from every country in the world.
329
When we have this, it doesn't matter about the income level and so on and everything.
330
We just have, you know, it basically has penetrated most of the world at this point and some point.
331
But when you talk about technology and when you talk about actual devices and so on, then you've got a risk of different, you know, obviously income and,
332
you know, accessibility to things where expense and cost comes in, then becomes an issue that can be difficult.
333
Because what I think is going to be the big change is the technology.
334
I don't think it's going to be necessarily, you know, platforms change all the time.
335
You know, Facebook has gone up, down, TikTok zoomed up.
336
That will continue to change.
337
And, you know, there will be new channels, new platforms that we don't know now that will take over.
338
But I think the technology that we use to interact with it is going to be a big deciding factor.
339
There's been lots of failed things so far with, you know, your Google Glass and,
340
you know, smart glasses and the recent AI pin thing that kind of didn't do very well and so on.
341
But at some point there's going to come a device, you know, we're not always going to be using our phone for this.
342
And at some times the barrier is going to come down, I think where your ability to interact with social media is going to be like, kind of always on, no,
343
you know, really easy to do at any point.
344
I don't know what it's going to be.
345
But that will be a fundamental change, I think, because then what you're talking about there, people will be checking and working that all the time, constantly, without having to go to a laptop or a phone or anything like that.
346
but that because of the fact that there will be cost involved
347
and of course then you've got the risk of developing a two tier
348
or multi tier society where a lot of people don't have access to that equipment and then you've got something that's different.
349
So interesting, thank you so much, that's been a really interesting conversation, lots of food for thought.
350
Can we finish on an up?
351
That seems like we're finishing on a bit of a down there.
352
You have one up sentence that you can give, go for it.
353
Honestly, my sentence would be just, you know, don't be afraid.
354
It's always, you know, one of the things is people are shy or nervous about participating, and a lot of people read and watch, but they don't participate.
355
And I think, you know, we don't judge people, we don't correct people or anything like that.
356
We just want people to communicate.
357
To talk, to write.
358
Yeah, just, you know, follow our channels, just go on and just jump in.
359
If you've got a question, ask it it doesn't matter how you might think it's a
360
silly question you might think i should know this forget it just do it
361
and if you if somebody says something and you want to respond do it
362
a real testament to social media when me
363
and neil do these live classes on fridays we always begin

Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Việc luyện nói tiếng Anh qua video không chỉ giúp bạn cải thiện khả năng ngữ âm mà còn là cơ hội để làm quen với các tình huống giao tiếp thực tế. Trong video này, chúng ta sẽ khám phá cách mà mạng xã hội ảnh hưởng đến học tiếng Anh. Khi bạn tham gia luyện nghe nói qua video, bạn có thể nghe các giảng viên giàu kinh nghiệm chia sẻ quan điểm của họ về tác động của xã hội đến việc học ngôn ngữ. Điều này không chỉ giúp bạn hiểu sâu sắc hơn về ngôn ngữ, mà còn phát triển kỹ năng giao tiếp tự tin hơn trong các tình huống xã hội.
Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh
- “English belongs to the world”: Câu này thể hiện tính toàn cầu của tiếng Anh, nhấn mạnh rằng ngôn ngữ này không chỉ thuộc về một quốc gia nào.
- “There’s no such thing as bad communication”: Câu này mang ý nghĩa rằng việc giao tiếp không cần phải hoàn hảo và bạn có thể học hỏi từ mọi trải nghiệm.
- “We communicate with them every day”: Cấu trúc này giúp bạn hiểu cách diễn đạt thói quen hàng ngày trong tiếng Anh.
- “Live events”: Khi nói về các sự kiện trực tiếp, bạn có thể tìm thấy cơ hội để tham gia và thực hành nói tiếng Anh ngay lập tức.
Cái bẫy phát âm phổ biến
Khi luyện nghe nói qua video, có một số từ hoặc cụm từ có thể gây khó khăn cho người học. Các từ như “event” và “communicate” thường dễ bị phát âm sai nếu bạn không chú ý. Bạn nên luyện tập những từ này để phát âm chính xác hơn trong các cuộc hội thoại. Ngoài ra, cũng cần chú ý đến ngữ điệu và ngữ cảnh mà giọng nói được thể hiện trong video để có thể tương tác tốt hơn trong giao tiếp.
Bằng cách sử dụng phần mềm shadowing để luyện nghe nói, hay tham gia vào các buổi shadow speak, bạn không chỉ cải thiện khả năng phát âm mà còn nâng cao khả năng áp dụng các cấu trúc ngữ pháp và ngữ điệu trong giao tiếp hàng ngày. Hãy thử áp dụng vào việc học của bạn ngay hôm nay!
Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn have/has been + -ing — việc bắt đầu từ trước và vẫn đang tiếp tục | you've been teaching · have you been teaching |
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | you've probably actually already seen · have had · I've just made |
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | isn't specifically linked · are officially authorized · is applied |
| Mệnh đề quan hệ who / which + mệnh đề — thêm thông tin về người hoặc vật | people who are · people who have · teachers who are |
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
