In a 2019 study, over 400 participants were enlisted to learn a mysterious, invented language.
0:07.17 – 0:15.22 (8.0s)
2
Individuals were asked about three pairs of runes— for example, which of these two characters represents an animal?
0:15.72 – 0:23.48 (7.8s)
3
Then, after a brief break, they were asked about the same rune pairs with questions flipped, as in, which of these two runes represents a non-living object?
0:23.85 – 0:34.41 (10.6s)
4
But this game had a secret— The subjects’ answers in round one determined the runes’ meanings in round two.
0:34.78 – 0:43.04 (8.3s)
5
In the first round, participants either had all their answers marked as correct no matter what, or they were forced to fail every question.
0:43.37 – 0:52.30 (8.9s)
6
This meant that at the break, every participant had the same amount of information, and in round two they were playing for real.
0:52.63 – 1:00.56 (7.9s)
7
But despite this even playing field, the successful participants from round one rose to the top of the ranks, while those cast as failures kept, well, failing.
1:00.85 – 1:13.19 (12.3s)
8
People often describe failure as a teachable moment— a necessary stumble on our way to improvement.
1:13.82 – 1:20.33 (6.5s)
9
But learning from our mistakes isn't always easy, especially when those failures are demoralizing, overwhelming, or just downright confusing.
1:20.49 – 1:29.00 (8.5s)
10
So what exactly prevents us from turning our mistakes into mastery?
1:29.38 – 1:34.63 (5.3s)
11
Perhaps the most obvious hurdle to learning from failure is how painful it can be.
1:35.34 – 1:40.56 (5.2s)
12
People generally want to think of themselves as capable and competent, and experiencing failure threatens that self-image.
1:41.39 – 1:49.11 (7.7s)
13
In a survey following a replication of the rune study, participants in the failure group indicated much lower levels of self-confidence after participating.
1:49.36 – 1:58.20 (8.8s)
14
It’s tempting to dismiss this pain as a temporary setback.
1:58.95 – 2:02.78 (3.8s)
15
But some studies have found that when people feel demoralized or incompetent, their brains often stop processing new information.
2:02.91 – 2:11.63 (8.7s)
16
This suggests that if a threat to your self-esteem is large enough, it can undermine your ability to learn.
2:11.96 – 2:18.05 (6.1s)
17
However, your tolerance for failure also depends on your relationship with the task at hand.
2:18.38 – 2:23.89 (5.5s)
18
In a study from 2011, researchers surveyed a group of American students enrolled in introductory and advanced French courses.
2:24.01 – 2:31.77 (7.8s)
19
These students completed a questionnaire asking what kind of teacher they preferred— one who emphasized their strengths and successes, or one who highlighted their mistakes and corrected their weaknesses.
2:32.11 – 2:44.70 (12.6s)
20
In general, responses showed that while beginner students sought positive reinforcement, advanced students were more eager for critical feedback.
2:45.49 – 2:54.46 (9.0s)
21
Researchers have theorized a handful of explanations for these results.
2:54.92 – 2:58.76 (3.8s)
22
Having just started out, beginners are still determining if they enjoy learning French and if they want to continue studying, so they might crave praise as a way to stay motivated.
2:58.93 – 3:09.35 (10.4s)
23
On the other hand, the advanced students are already invested, so they may want to improve their skills as efficiently as possible.
3:10.14 – 3:17.61 (7.5s)
24
The process of gaining expertise also comes with its fair share of failure, so the advanced students may have built a higher tolerance for making mistakes.
3:17.86 – 3:26.08 (8.2s)
25
But whether you're an expert or a novice, it’s usually much more straightforward to learn from your successes than your failures.
3:26.83 – 3:33.83 (7.0s)
26
For example, imagine getting your grade back on an exam.
3:33.83 – 3:37.59 (3.8s)
27
If you aced it, you could reasonably assume you made good choices around when, what, and how much to study, and you can replicate those decisions for the next test.
3:38.13 – 3:47.39 (9.3s)
28
But if you failed, it could be for any number of reasons.
3:47.60 – 3:51.06 (3.5s)
29
Maybe you didn’t study enough, maybe you studied the wrong information, or maybe you did everything right and the test covered things you shouldn't have been expected to know.
3:51.44 – 4:01.61 (10.2s)
30
In cases like this, it’s unclear exactly what went wrong, making it difficult to learn how to improve.
4:02.45 – 4:08.16 (5.7s)
31
Wanting to learn from our failures is completely natural, and there’s a lot to gain by being resilient and cultivating a growth mindset.
4:08.83 – 4:16.79 (8.0s)
32
But fixating on your failures can make it easy to forget all your successes.
4:17.09 – 4:22.17 (5.1s)
33
And building on what you’re doing right can be more effective than focusing on what you did wrong.
4:22.34 – 4:28.14 (5.8s)
关于本课：如何从错误中学习，提升英语流利度
本课基于TED-Ed精彩视频“How to overcome your mistakes”，深入探讨了人类面对错误时的心理反应及其对学习过程的影响。视频通过生动的研究案例，揭示了失败可能带来的沮丧感如何阻碍我们处理新信息，以及初学者和进阶学习者对反馈的不同需求。对于英语口语练习者而言，本视频不仅提供了宝贵的心理学洞察，更是提升英语流利度的绝佳素材。
您将通过本课练习：
- 词汇主题： 学习、心理学、研究、成功与失败、自我形象、动机、反馈等相关词汇。
- 语法模式： 掌握如何描述研究方法和结果、表达因果关系、进行比较分析，以及阐述理论与观点。
- 口语场景： 练习讨论学习经验、解释心理学概念、总结研究发现，以及表达个人对失败和成功的看法。
理解视频内容，并积极模仿其语言表达，能帮助您在讨论抽象概念时更加自信和准确。
重要词汇和短语
以下是视频中精选的实用英语词汇和短语，附有中文简要解释：
- overcome your mistakes: 克服你的错误。（学会如何处理并超越所犯的错误。）
- even playing field: 公平的竞争环境。（指所有参与者条件相同，没有不公平的优势或劣势。）
- teachable moment: 学习的机会，教训。（指一个特定的情况，其中可以学到重要的一课。）
- demoralizing: 令人气馁的，使人士气低落的。（形容失败或困难带来的负面情绪。）
- undermine your ability to learn: 损害你的学习能力。（表示某种负面因素削弱了学习的效率或可能性。）
- tolerance for failure: 对失败的承受力。（指一个人面对失败时能够保持积极态度并继续尝试的能力。）
- positive reinforcement: 积极强化。（通过奖励或赞扬来鼓励特定行为的学习方法。）
- cultivating a growth mindset: 培养成长型思维。（相信个人能力可以通过努力和奉献发展和提高的思维模式。）
本视频练习技巧
为了充分利用本视频进行发音练习和跟读技巧提升，请尝试以下建议：
- 语速与节奏： 视频讲解者的语速适中，发音清晰。建议初学者可先放慢速度跟读，熟悉后尝试以原速进行跟读技巧训练，重点模仿其自然的停顿和语调变化。这将有助于提升您的英语流利度。
- 口音与发音： 讲解者使用的是标准美式英语。在发音练习时，请留意单词的重音、连读以及特定音素（如/r/音）的发音方式。尤其是那些与学习、研究和心理感受相关的词汇，要确保发音准确。
- 话题难度与词汇： 视频内容涉及心理学研究、教育理论等较为抽象的话题，词汇相对正式。这对于准备雅思口语等学术类考试的学习者非常有益。练习用英语清晰地阐述复杂的概念，并用连接词（如 “however”, “therefore”, “in addition”）构建连贯的论证。
- 情绪与语气： 视频在描述失败带来的痛苦和成功的喜悦时，讲解者的语气有微妙变化。尝试模仿这些情绪的表达，让您的口语更富有表现力。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习
- 选择您的视频： 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲，BBC新闻，电影片段，播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频（短于5分钟）以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
- 先听，理解上下文： 第一次听的时候，将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义，收集新词汇，并注意讲话人如何强调单词，连读声音及使用停顿。
- 设置跟读模式：
- 等待模式：选择
+3s或+5s——在每句话播放完毕后，视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步，请选择手动。 - 字幕同步：YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用
±100ms使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
- 等待模式：选择
- 大声跟读（核心练习）： 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴：要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子，而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子，直到感觉自然为止。
- 提高难度： 当练习段落变得相对舒适后，就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
