So, for the past 20 years,
3
I've been helping Malaysians and other Southeast Asians to speak better English.
4
And through training thousands of Southeast Asians,
5
I've discovered a very surprising truth.
6
I've discovered that how well somebody communicates in English actually has very little to do with their English level.
7
It has a lot to do with their attitude towards English.
8
There are people out there who have a very,
9
very low level English and they can communicate very very well.
10
One of them that I remember was a student,
11
a participant of mine named Faisal.
12
He was a factory supervisor.
13
English level very very low,
14
but this guy could just sit and listen to anybody very calmly,
15
clearly, and then he could respond absolutely express his thoughts beautifully at a very low level of English.
16
So today I want to share with you what is so different about people like Faisal?
17
How do they do it?
18
And second of all, why is this so important not only to you but to your children,
19
to your community and to the future of Malaysia?
20
And third of all, what's one thing you can do starting today if you want to speak with that calm,
21
clear confidence that people like Faisal has?
22
So first of all, what is so different?
23
How do people like Faisal do it.
24
So to answer that question I'm going to take you back about 10 years.
25
Okay, so I was training staff at that time
26
and my daughter at that time was taking piano lessons
27
and I started to notice two really strong similarities between my daughter's attitude
28
or thinking towards playing the piano and a lot of Malaysians thinking or attitude towards English.
29
Now first of all I should my daughter absolutely hated piano,
30
hated the lessons, hated practicing.
31
This is my daughter practicing piano, okay?
32
This is as good as it got.
33
This is the real thing.
34
And she dreaded going to piano lessons because to my daughter,
35
going to piano lessons, she was filled with this sort of dread because it was all about not screwing up, right?
36
Because like for a lot of piano students,
37
to both my daughter and her teacher,
38
her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.
39
Now at the same time,
40
I noticed that a lot of Malaysians went into English conversations with the same sort of feeling of dread,
41
this sort of feeling that they were going to be judged by how many mistakes they were going to make,
42
and whether or not they were going to screw up.
43
Now, the second similarity that I noticed was to do with self-image.
44
You see, my daughter, she knew what good piano sounded like, right?
45
Because we've all heard good piano.
46
And she knew what her level was,
47
and she knew how long she'd have to play for to play like that.
48
And a lot of Malaysians,
49
I noticed, had this idea of what good,
50
proper English is supposed to sound like,
51
and what their English sounded like,
52
and how far they'd have to go to get there.
53
And they also felt like they were,
54
like my daughter, just bad.
55
Bad piano player, bad English speaker, right?
56
My English is not so good,
57
I cannot, sorry, I cannot.
58
So I could see these similarities,
59
but I still couldn't figure out,
60
okay, what is it about these people like Faizal,
61
that are so different, that can just do it smoothly, calmly, with confidence?
62
And one day I discovered that answer,
63
and I discovered it quite by chance.
64
It was a day when my computer broke down and I had to go to a cybercafe.
65
Now, okay, it was my first time,
66
and I discovered cybercafés are disgusting places, okay?
67
They're really gross, they're smelly,
68
and they're filled with boys,
69
and they're all playing noisy, violent games.
70
They're just disgusting places.
71
But I had to go there.
72
I sit down and I start noticing this guy beside me and I become very,
73
very interested in this guy next to me.
74
Now this guy is playing this game that is basically,
75
it's like shooting people until they die.
76
And that's it, right?
77
That's the game, right?
78
And I'm noticing that this guy is not very good.
79
He's like, in fact, terrible, right?
80
Because I'm looking and I'm seeing like a lot of shooting and not much dying, right?
81
But what really interested me was,
82
behind this lousy player were three of his friends sort of standing there watching him play.
83
And what I really noticed was,
84
even though this guy was terrible,
85
even though his friends were watching him,
86
there was no embarrassment, there was no feeling of being judged,
87
there was no shyness.
88
In fact, quite the opposite this guy is like totally focused on the bad guy,
89
smile on his face.
90
All he can think about is killing these guys, right?
91
And I'm watching him and I suddenly realized this is it.
92
This is the same attitude that people like Faisal have when they speak English,
93
just like this guy.
94
When Faisal goes into an English conversation, He doesn't feel judged.
95
He's entirely focused on the person that he's speaking to and the result he wants to get.
96
He's got no self-awareness, no thoughts about his own mistakes.
97
Now, I want to share with you a real,
98
true example, to paint a picture of somebody who speaks English like they're playing piano
99
and someone who speaks English like they're playing a computer game.
100
And this is a true story.
101
Happened to me.
102
A while ago, I was in a pharmacy.
103
I had to buy Omega.
104
My doctor said I should get Omega.
105
And I go to the shelf, there's tons of Omega.
106
There's Omega that's high in DHA,
107
Omega that's high in EPA,
108
and I don't know which one to buy.
109
Now, the sales rep happened to be there,
110
and I saw she was like this well-dressed professional woman.
111
I walk over to her,
112
and I see this look as she sees me,
113
she sees me, this sort of,
114
it's a look I recognize very well.
115
Her eyes go all wide.
116
It's sort of that panic,
117
oh my God, I've got to speak to a native speaker and she's going to judge me and notice my mistakes.
118
I go up to her and I explain my situation,
119
which omega do I get?
120
And she starts explaining to me everything about DHA and EPA you could possibly imagine.
121
She speaks very quickly, goes all around in circles.
122
and when she finishes, no idea what to buy.
123
So I turn to the girl behind the counter.
124
Now the girl behind the counter,
125
I heard her before, her English level is very low.
126
But when I walk over to her this girl
127
there's no fear in fact she's just looking at me you know
128
that look like yeah okay so how yeah I've been in Malaysia a long time
129
so I go up to her
130
and I explain the problem EPA DHA she looks at me
131
she says okay up EPA for heart DHA for brain your heart okay
132
or not I said yeah yeah I said my heart is
133
really it's I think it's pretty good she says your brain okay or not I said yeah No,
134
no, my brain is not as good as it used to be.
135
She looked, she said, O'kela, you take omega-10, Ken?
136
Problem solved, right?
137
So we've got two different kinds of communicators.
138
We've got the one who's got a high level,
139
but totally focused on herself and getting it right, and therefore very ineffective.
140
We've got another one, low level,
141
totally focused on the person she's talking to, and getting a result.
142
Effective.
143
And therein lies the difference.
144
Now, why is this distinction so important,
145
not just to you, to your children,
146
but to the future of Malaysia and countries like Malaysia?
147
And to answer that, let's take a look at who actually is speaking English in the world today.
148
Okay?
149
So, if we looked at all of the English conversations in the whole world taking place right now on planet Earth,
150
we would see that for every native speaker,
151
like me, there are five non-native speakers.
152
And if we listen to every conversation in English on planet Earth right now,
153
we would notice that 96% of those conversations involved non-native English speakers.
154
Only 4% of those conversations are native speaker to native speaker.
155
This is not my language anymore.
156
This language belongs to you.
157
It's not an art to be mastered.
158
It's just a tool to use to get a result.
159
And I want to give you a real-life example of what English is today in the world,
160
real English today.
161
This is another true story.
162
I was at a barbecue a little while ago.
163
This was a barbecue for engineers,
164
engineers from all over the world,
165
and they were making hot dogs.
166
Now, some of the hot dogs were regular hot dogs,
167
and some were these cheese hot dogs,
168
with the cheese in the middle.
169
French engineer is cooking the hot dogs,
170
and he turns to this Korean engineer and he says,
171
Would you like a hot dog?
172
And the Korean guy says, Yes, please.
173
He says, do you want the cheese?
174
And the Korean guy looks around at the table.
175
He says, I no see cheese.
176
French guy says, ah, the hot dog contains the cheese.
177
Korean guy doesn't understand him, right?
178
So the French engineer tries again.
179
The hot dog is making from, with the cheese.
180
Korean guy still doesn't understand.
181
He tries again.
182
He says, The hot dog is coming from...
183
No, the cheese is coming from the hot dog.
184
Korean guy cannot understand.
185
Now, this Japanese engineer, who's been listening to this conversation turns to the Korean engineer and he says,
186
Ah, ah, a chisa integrator.
187
He understands.
188
Everybody understands.
189
So this is what English is today.
190
It's just a tool to play around with to get a a result,
191
like a computer game.
192
Now the challenge is that we know in schools all around the world,
193
right, English is not really being taught like it's a tool to play with.
194
It's still being taught like it's an art to master.
195
And students are judged more on correctness than on clarity.
196
Some of you might remember the old comprehension exam in school.
197
Does anybody remember in school when you would get a question about a text that you read?
198
You'd have to read through some text, right?
199
And then answer a question to show that you understood the text.
200
And this may have happened to you that you showed that you understood the text,
201
but you got a big X because you made a little grammar mistake.
202
Like this student.
203
Now this student clearly understood paragraph four,
204
but no, not correct, because he left the letter N off the word environment.
205
But in the real world, what would matter?
206
In the real world, what would matter is,
207
did you understand the email,
208
or did you understand your customer,
209
so that you can go ahead and take action?
210
Now the problem that I see here,
211
over and over, is that people take the attitude they developed about English in school
212
and they bring it into their adult life and into their work.
213
And if you're in a stressful situation and you're having a conversation
214
and you're trying to give a result to someone and say it correctly,
215
your brain multitasks, it cannot do two things at once.
216
And what I see is the brain just shutting down.
217
And you may recognize these three symptoms of the brain shutting down.
218
The first one is that your listening goes.
219
Someone is talking to you and you're so busy thinking about how you're going to respond and express yourself correctly,
220
you don't actually hear what the other person said.
221
And I can see a lot of nodding in the audience.
222
The second thing to go is your speaking.
223
your mind sort of shuts down and that vocabulary you do know just disappears
224
and you the words don't come out the third thing to go is your confidence
225
and the worst thing about this is you may only be confident
226
because you cannot express yourself clearly
227
but to the person talking to you they may misunderstand this
228
as a lack of confidence in your ability to do the job to perform.
229
So if you want to speak English like Faisal with that great confidence,
230
here's the one thing that you can do.
231
When you speak, don't focus on yourself.
232
Focus on the other person and the result you want to achieve.
233
Imagine a next generation of Malaysians all with that wonderful confidence in communication that Faisal has at any level of English.
234
Because let's remember that English today,
235
it's not an art to be mastered.
236
It's just a tool to use to get a result.
237
And that tool belongs to you.
238
Thank you.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在这段TEDx演讲中，讲者提到，无论一个人的英语水平如何，他们在沟通时的态度往往更为重要。通过观看这类视频，您可以学习到技术性与心理性相结合的交流方式。特别是通过看YouTube学英语，可以提高您的语音表达和自信心。
在当今社会，能够自信地表达自己的想法，不仅能帮助您在职业生涯中取得成功，也能培养孩子在未来的沟通能力。因此，学习者可以从这些真实而又具启发性的例子中获得动力，帮助他们更好地理解和运用英语。
语法与表达在语境中的应用
演讲中使用了几种关键的英语表达和结构，学习这些可以帮助增强您的口语能力：
- “How do they do it?” - 这个表达方式突出了提问技巧的重要性，激发了观众的兴趣。
- “Filled with dread” - 这个短语表达了一种强烈的情感，学习这样的短语能帮助增加日常交流的丰富性。
- “Measured by how few mistakes” - 这句话强调了在沟通中不要过于担心犯错，反而要太多地关注自己的表达。
通过不断练习这些表达，可以提高您在实际对话中的流畅度和准确性，更好地掌握英语影子跟读技巧。
常见的发音陷阱
在这个视频中，有几个词汇和发音可能会对许多学习者造成困扰：
- “practice” - 注意这个单词的发音，尤其是两者的区别：美式发音为 /ˈpræktɪs/，而英式发音为 /ˈpræktɪs/。确保您能准确发出这两个音节。
- “confidence” - 在口语中，记住这个词的重音在第一个音节，正确的发音为 /ˈkɒnfɪdəns/。
- “communication” - 此词较长，重音在第三个音节，发音应为 /kəˌmjuːnɪˈkeɪʃən/。
通过反复练习，如采用shadowspeak技巧，您可以逐渐克服这些发音困难，提高英语发音的准确性。
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。
