1
Unit 3.
2
Be a musical boost.
3
Is there a connection between music and language?
4
According to recent studies, the answer is yes.
5
Music boosts certain language abilities in the brain.
6
Here are two examples, music and hearing.
7
B. A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.
8
As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.
9
The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training.
10
The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
11
See musicians here better, says study leader Nina Krauss, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.
12
Think about violinists in an orchestra.
13
When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others too
14
but the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore the other sounds.
15
In this way, musicians are able to concentrate on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
16
Music and speech.
17
D. Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke patients.
18
Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses or other information normally.
19
However, they can still sing.
20
Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to eventually speak.
21
Why does this work?
22
Schlaug isn't sure.
23
Music seems to activate different parts of the brain, including the damaged parts.
24
This somehow helps patients use those parts of the brain again.
25
Understanding the results.
26
E-music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.
27
It can even help sick people get better.
28
playing an instrument or singing says Nina Kraus can help us do better in school
29
and keep our brain sharp as we get older music therefore
30
is not only enjoyable it's also good for us in many other ways
背景与语境
本单元的主题是音乐与语言之间的关联。音乐不仅为我们的生活增添乐趣，它还会促进大脑中的某些语言能力。根据近期的研究，音乐可以提升我们的听力、记忆以及整体语言能力。无论是在课堂上，还是在日常交流中，理解音乐与语言的关系都能帮助我们更好地掌握英语，特别是在雅思口语练习中，听力的提升是至关重要的。今天，我们将通过观看相关视频，学习如何将这些知识应用于我们的语言学习中，有效提升我们的口语表达能力。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- 音乐能提升听力 - “音乐可以改善我们的听力能力。”
- 唱歌有助于说话 - “唱歌可以帮助患者逐渐恢复语言能力。”
- 专注于声音 - “音乐家能够专注于特定的声音，即使在嘈杂的环境中。”
- 音乐激活大脑 - “音乐似乎能够激活大脑的不同部分。”
- 享受音乐的好处 - “音乐不仅让生活更愉快，还对我们有很多好处。”
逐步跟读指南
对于初学者或者想进一步提升口语能力的学习者，shadow speak（跟读练习）是一种有效的方法。以下是使用此视频进行跟读的步骤：
- 观看并聆听：首先，观看视频并仔细聆听讲解，关注讲者的语速和发音。
- 逐句重复：暂停视频，尝试逐句模仿讲者的发音和语调，确保你能听清楚每一个词汇。
- 记录和纠正：你可以录下自己的声音，与视频中的内容进行对比，找到差异并加以改正。
- 循环练习：反复练习直到你能够流利地复述整个段落，逐步提升自己的口语流利度。
- 应用所学：尝试在日常生活中运用这些短语，无论是与他人对话，还是在雅思口语练习中，确保能流畅表达。
通过这样的练习，不仅能提升你的语言能力，还能够让你在学习英语的过程中感受到音乐带来的乐趣。使用音乐进行语言学习，既是享受也是一种智慧的选择，不妨在看YouTube学英语的过程中多加利用这类技巧，提升自己的shadow speech（跟读能力）。
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。
