1
i think most learners start shadowing too early so here is the complete method i use and teach
2
instead it involves understanding analyzing noticing then practicing and performing okay let's go So,
3
step one is choose the right audio.
4
I recommend an audio clip around 30 seconds to 90 seconds.
5
You don't want it too long or too short.
6
Also, a monologue.
7
That means one person speaking,
8
especially at the beginning, because you don't want to be confused with different accents, different speakers.
9
Everyone has a different rhythm and tone and way of speaking.
10
Oh, and make sure you choose someone you would like to sound like.
11
I want you to be interested in this audio clip or video clip.
12
It's really important.
13
And make sure that they are a clear English speaker as well.
14
OK, here are some examples on the screen, but of course you can choose whoever you want.
15
OK, step two is listen for meaning.
16
So try to understand what the speaker is talking about.
17
OK, we're focusing on meaning, even the emotion behind what the speaker is talking about.
18
But I recommend you listen and you just write down the gist, right?
19
The overall meaning, the general meaning of the clip.
20
Now, step three, and yes, it's raining.
21
And yes, our camera is not waterproof, but we're out here in the countryside and there's nothing we can do.
22
But step three is dictation.
23
That means listening to the audio and writing down what you hear.
24
It's that simple.
25
And I'm calling it optional dictation because you don't have to do it.
26
Some people don't like it, but it is the most useful activity ever because you are, you're learning so many skills.
27
And when you do this, you will find out what your ears don't pick up and you will see where your gaps are.
28
So for example, maybe you're not hearing connected speech or reductions or full phrases even.
29
And this can be really useful for you.
30
Okay, now you have the transcript.
31
You've checked your dictation.
32
Step four is, excuse me, study the audio.
33
So I want you to look at useful expressions, collocations, right?
34
New words, vocabulary but also don't just ask yourself what does this mean
35
but how is the speaker expressing themselves
36
so listen to the stress the tone the rhythm right
37
and this is where the real learning happens you're training your
38
ear to listen for the details you might not get everything and that's okay.
39
If you have a teacher or an English friend, then they can definitely help you.
40
I actually have a video of me doing the full system.
41
I'll put a link up here, but it will also be at the end of the video.
42
So yeah, I think this is probably the most important stage
43
because you're building the awareness that will eventually make shadowing more effective.
44
Okay, step five is listen and repeat.
45
Now, not the whole audio clip.
46
I just want you to listen to one phrase or one sentence, pause, then repeat it.
47
Why are we doing this?
48
Well, I want you to focus on accuracy.
49
That's what it's about.
50
It's about being accurate.
51
It's not about being fast or, you know, yes, it's not about speed.
52
Okay.
53
So I want you to copy the speaker's rhythm,
54
tone, stress, their overall delivery.
55
So if you have the video, do the same hand gestures, right or their expression i want you to become
56
that speaker all right um and then when you've done it
57
and oh sorry just remember you don't have to do the
58
entire audio clip okay i'm not saying you have to do that
59
but do as much as you can until you think okay i'm ready to move on all right see you there So,
60
step six and step seven kind of go together because step six is record yourself speaking,
61
and step seven is compare and notice the differences.
62
So let's start with step six.
63
I want you to record a phrase or a sentence.
64
Again, you don't have to record the whole transcript.
65
practice a few sentences first, record yourself, listen back, and then we move to step seven.
66
Now compare yourself with the original speaker, the original audio clip.
67
What are the differences?
68
So it might be pronunciation, it might be your stress, it might be your rhythm,
69
it might be your your intonation, your accent.
70
So just try to notice the differences and then try it again and then compare again.
71
I think this is the first time where learners really hear themselves
72
because you don't really hear yourself until you record it and then listen back.
73
And many people say, oh, I didn't know I sounded like that.
74
And I say, yeah, now we can compare.
75
So it's really useful, guys.
76
So try those steps, please.
77
Step six and seven, and I'll see you for step eight.
78
Step eight is shadow with the transcript.
79
So this is more like the shadowing you might be used to.
80
So you have the transcript, you have all of your annotations, your notes showing the stress and the pronunciation.
81
And I just want you to listen and read the transcript and shadow at the same time.
82
That means you're listening and repeating almost simultaneously, almost at the same time,
83
but not at the same time.
84
OK?
85
You can if you want afterwards.
86
That's actually called chorus shadowing.
87
But I want you just below it.
88
OK?
89
So you're reading the transcript.
90
You're looking at your notes.
91
You're listening to the audio.
92
And you're repeating what you hear.
93
So why do I want you to do this?
94
Why with the transcript?
95
Well, we're slowly getting more and more difficult, aren't we?
96
At this point, you already understand the audio.
97
You've learnt maybe some new phrases, collocations.
98
You've analysed it.
99
So all the important pronunciation features, things like stress, intonation, rhythm.
100
You've listened to a few phrases and repeated, recorded yourself, noticed the differences.
101
So here it's more about practice now rather than discovery.
102
Welcome to step nine, which is blind shadowing,
103
which is just we remove the transcript and you just listen and repeat as fast as you can.
104
We don't want you to be at the same time as the speaker
105
because I know at this point you almost know what is going to be said.
106
So make sure you're just behind the speaker.
107
Okay.
108
Do this many times.
109
You can walk outside and do it.
110
Do it while you're cooking, doing the dishes and do this a few times.
111
Okay.
112
This is going to really help you develop your fluency, speaking flow, listening ability, and processing speed.
113
So this is actually a really important stage.
114
All right, good luck and I'll see you in the last step.
115
Okay, you made it.
116
It's step 10 and step 10 is read aloud.
117
So I want you to read the transcript out loud by yourself without the audio and try to recreate the speaker's rhythm,
118
stress, intonation and speaking style from memory.
119
So this is where you are transferring those pronunciation patterns into your own speech.
120
Now, if you are still here, I actually have a bonus step just for you, which is
121
when you finish these 10 steps try to speak I want
122
you to speak to someone it could be AI by yourself a friend a teacher a speaking group
123
and also try to talk about the topics that were in
124
that audio clip so for example
125
if my audio clip is about friendships maybe I will talk about what friendships mean with AI.
126
So I'm a really big fan of every time you finish shadowing, practice actually speaking, okay?
127
Actually speaking even just by yourself.
128
All right, that's my system guys, that's my method.
129
I don't have a name for it, I think I'm going to call it the one clip method
130
because it as you know it's not just shadowing so this is my one clip method
131
if you are still here let me know in the comments by adding
132
that phrase in your comment one clip method good luck with
133
your practice really try this please i promise you it will help you and I really hope you enjoy it.
134
I have a video of me doing all 10 steps over here on the screen
135
or I have another video about shadowing and what it means and my opinion on it over here.
136
So if you're interested please check that out.
137
All right I'll see you in the next video guys.
138
Take care.
139
Bye-bye.
140
With mud on both his hands
141
My mother named the seasons by the fruit on our land The river kept its moving past the roots and stone
142
It never asked permission, it just carried us home And I was hard to hold

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
通過這個影片練習口語可以幫助學習者在實際的語言環境中提高英語發音。這個方法強調理解、分析和重複，是一種有效的影子跟讀（shadow speech）練習。影子跟讀不僅可以提升口語表達能力，還可以增強聽力理解。在模仿目標說話者的發音時，學習者能夠在潛移默化中掌握語調和節奏，形成自己的英語表達風格，從而變得更加自信。
語法與表達在上下文中的運用
- 聽到的意義：在練習中，理解所聽內容的整體意思是關鍵。發言者傳達的資訊包括情感和意圖，這些都是提高英語發音和表達能力的重要因素。
- 清晰的表達：選擇一位發音清晰的說話者是至關重要的，這樣可以使學習者在影子跟讀時能夠準確模仿。
- 準確性：在練習中，重複短句和準確的表達方式，可以幫助學習者加強對語法結構的理解，並在口語中靈活運用。
常見發音陷阱
在影片中，可能會遇到一些發音陷阱，特別是與連音和減音有關的詞彙。影子跟讀（shadowspeak）時，特別注意以下幾點：
- 連音：某些單詞在自然對話中會連成一句。例如，“want to”通常發音為“wanna”，這個變化會影響整體流暢度。
- 情緒語氣：學會模仿發言者的情緒和語調，這樣可以更好地表達意思，同時提高與他人的交流效率。
- 韻律與節奏：每位說話者都有自己獨特的韻律，掌握這種節奏會讓發音更加自然。
這些都是提高英語發音的關鍵環節。通過影子跟讀，練習者能夠在不斷的實踐中強化語言能力，最終實現自信流利的交流。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | You've checked · you've done · You've learnt |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | be said · is read |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | might not get · might be |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the most useful · the most important |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
