Now turn to Section 4 on page 7.
2
Section 4.
3
You will hear part of a talk about research into learner persistence given by a university lecturer to her colleagues.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages 7 and 8.
5
Thank you.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
7
My talk is about a research study I did over a period of five years on learner persistence,
8
why some people stick at academic study better than others.
9
As teachers, you will know that there is a tremendous variation in the learner's response to certain things.
10
For example, a short period of illness might completely destabilize some students and cause them to give up their degree studies.
11
Other learners might overcome tremendous difficulties to stay the course.
12
I am particularly interested in this second group, who are the ones with learner persistence.
13
What I decided to do was design a research study using a sample of my university's third-year undergraduate students,
14
295 in all who obviously had already stayed the course pretty well.
15
The sample was drawn from a range of ages, but there was deliberately a significant number of mature students,
16
and all respondents were living at home in the local region.
17
I wanted to have this element of consistency, not having some coming from outside the area and living in university accommodation.
18
It should be noted, though, that there was significant variation in home background to reflect the variation in our student population.
19
I designed questionnaires which were devised to elicit what their concerns had been as they started the course
20
and what had sustained them throughout the three years.
21
Findings from the first section indicated that their worries when they started varied from financial concerns,
22
though this had not been as strong as I expected, to career prospects.
23
but mature students with children tended to emphasize uncertainties about their relationship with them
24
the second section of my questionnaire looked at learner persistence under three main headings social
25
and environmental factors other factors and intrinsic
26
or personal characteristics I identified three levels of importance for each
27
of these at the first level those points identified by participants
28
as most important in learner persistence for social factors many respondents
29
said how crucial it had been to have good support though
30
there was no one specific source it could be family
31
or friends as regards other factors students are heartened not
32
so much by high grades but by what they regard as success in study
33
and for personal characteristics many respondents reported that they took pleasure in challenge and
34
that this was regarded as very significant at the second level
35
of importance in the first category a sizable percentage talked about the fact
36
that they had enjoyed themselves in school as an important social
37
factor in the second column other factors a number of people said
38
that what was of most importance was decent health this had
39
a fairly strong influence on their persistence in their studies
40
and then under the heading of personal characteristics there were quite
41
a large percentage of respondents who who mentioned they felt it was important to have lots of interests in their everyday lives.
42
This gave them a depth and sense of perspective, which less persistent learners might lack.
43
And then, on to the third level.
44
Under social factors, several respondents talked about good relationships with their tutors.
45
For other factors, they mentioned lack or absence of any problems in their families
46
and Finally under column three they identified an ability to juggle several roles what we might call their capacity for multitasking
47
Now these findings obviously helped inform the design of activities as I mentioned
48
But in addition a number of further recommendations emerged
49
firstly I propose
50
that the department distributes questionnaires to first-year students to help get an idea of their maturity
51
when starting the course this is really our overriding concern secondly
52
I recommend we look into ways of offering induction courses for
53
some selected students to allow them to take on the role
54
of advisors we think they are the best people to act in
55
that role this policy will make support much more accessible to
56
our students thirdly this help is often most needed in the evening
57
and night when offices are closed and
58
so we should set up online services instead of the more traditional telephone services research has shown
59
that these services are actually more accessible to the majority of students.
60
And finally, it is often important to be proactive.
61
If students are not meeting deadlines, then someone should contact them rather than wait for them to come to us.
62
Now, are there any questions about the points that you have to ask?
63
That is the end of Section 4.
64
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
65
Thank you.

本片段的口語學習目標

這段影片非常適合想要提升學術討論流暢度的學習者。它能幫助你掌握如何清晰闡述研究過程、分類說明結論,尤其在雅思口語練習中,這類邏輯表達能力是拿高分的關鍵。通過模仿影片中的 lecturer 說話節奏,你能逐步突破“描述複雜內容時語塞”的瓶頸,讓表達更有條理。

實用短語庫

  • stay the course:堅持到底(可替換“persist”,讓表達更生動)
  • elicit what their concerns had been:引出他們的擔憂(學術討論中描述調研方法的高頻表達)
  • heartened not so much by... but by...:不是因...而是因...受到鼓舞(錶轉折的高階結構)
  • juggle several roles:兼顧多種角色(替換“multitask”,更貼合日常表達)
  • inform the design of activities:為活動設計提供參考(學術場景中說明研究應用的常用句)

攻克你的薄弱點

這段音訊的語速適中,非常適合練習英語影子跟讀。其中“social and environmental factors, other factors and intrinsic or personal characteristics”這類長定語的連讀和重音處理,是很多學習者的難點。建議你用影子跟讀的方法,跟著影片重複這些短語,注意每個單詞的弱讀和節奏。此外,影片中多次出現的“and then, on to the third level”等過渡詞,能幫助你提升表達的連貫性。堅持用看YouTube學英語的方式練習,再配合專業的shadowing site,你的口語流暢度一定會有明顯進步!

記住,練習時不要急於求成,先聽清每個音節,再慢慢跟上節奏。相信自己,你一定能攻克這些難點,說出更地道的英語!

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。
