Now turn to Section 4 on page 8.

Section 4.
3
You will hear part of a lecture for teacher trainees on using drama activities in the classroom.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on page 8.
5
Thank you.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
7
So now we're going to look at some of the reasons why it's beneficial to include drama activities,
8
such as role play, in your teaching practice in a range of subject areas.
9
There's a lot of evidence to show that drama helps a child's personal development.
10
Firstly, creating the space for children to express themselves freely in
11
a group situation helps to give them confidence in their own opinions and ideas.
12
And of course, drama activities can work especially well for shy
13
or introverted children who usually don't participate in other types of
14
classroom situations secondly unscripted improvisation activities where children work from their imagination
15
if done in a supportive way give children the opportunity to gain experience in taking risks
16
and encourage them to say things that they might normally be afraid to say Drama can also support the child's educational development.
17
For example, the emphasis placed on cooperative activities in drama means
18
that group members must learn the value of listening to one another.
19
Being involved in any sort of performance which relies on everyone working together
20
and playing their part also helps children to be responsible, not only for their learning, but for their general behavior.
21
These are just a couple of ways in which drama can benefit a child's learning.
22
Now I'd like to look at how role-play can be such a valuable learning tool in the classroom.
23
The value of role-play for children who are having difficulties as a means of therapy is now widely accepted.
24
The experience of doing a role play where children act out aspects of their own life without explicitly stating
25
that it is a direct representation of their own experiences can help children to judge their own behavior in an objective way.
26
One obvious example would be doing a role reversal with a bully role-playing a victim.
27
Because this approach doesn't involve direct confrontation, it may help the bully to see his or her behavior in a different light.
28
More generally, role-play also allows the teacher to explore potentially controversial
29
or taboo subjects in a safe setting in which children feel at ease.
30
It's obviously essential for children to feel they won't be criticized or judged for voicing certain views.
31
Getting children to examine their thoughts and opinions carefully can lead to a deeper self-knowledge and a stronger awareness of morality.
32
This is an important factor in developing social skills.
33
Let's look at a specific subject area now
34
and think about how drama can enrich the learning process for the study of history.
35
Bringing characters from the past to life in the classroom by
36
doing classroom drama activities is an easy way to improve the level of the children's participation in the lesson.
37
So, drama in the history classroom makes for a livelier atmosphere,
38
but getting children to reenact scenes from history can also be extremely useful,
39
as it helps them to remember what happened and why it was important, as well as helping to bring the past alive.
40
Another way of doing this is to ask children to find solutions to historical problems using roleplay.
41
This can help to focus attention on why certain decisions were taken.
42
For example, children can be asked to decide how best to defend their town from attack
43
or where to build a new settlement.
44
Okay, what I'd like to do now is to think about your next teaching practice session
45
and in groups discuss how you would incorporate an element of drama into your lesson plan.
46
That is the end of section 4.
47
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
48
That is the end of the listening test.
49
You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.

✨ 推荐视频
为何这段视频是绝佳的英语口语练习素材?
这段关于课堂戏剧教学的讲座视频,语速适中、逻辑清晰,涵盖教育类实用表达,非常适合作为英语口语练习的影子跟读法(shadow speak)素材。其内容围绕具体教学场景展开,包含大量自然的口语化表达,如“give them confidence in their own opinions”“explore potentially controversial or taboo subjects”等,既能提升语言运用能力,又能积累学科词汇,一举多得。
拆解地道表达,掌握自然口语逻辑
我们可以从视频中提取几个典型句子,分析其为何听起来自然:
- “There's a lot of evidence to show that drama helps a child's personal development.” 此处使用“there's a lot of evidence to show that”这一结构,避免了直接说“drama helps...”的生硬,符合英语母语者阐述观点时的习惯,增强说服力。
- “Being involved in any sort of performance which relies on everyone working together and playing their part also helps children to be responsible.” 句子通过“being involved in...”动名词短语作主语,结构紧凑且符合口语表达的流畅性,避免了简单句的重复,同时“playing their part”这一习语的使用让表达更地道。
- “Getting children to examine their thoughts and opinions carefully can lead to a deeper self-knowledge and a stronger awareness of morality.” 此处“getting...to...”的结构清晰传达了“促使某人做某事”的含义,“deeper self-knowledge”和“stronger awareness of morality”的搭配精准且高级,体现了口语表达的丰富性。
影子跟读法(Shadow Speak)训练步骤
想要通过这段视频提升英语口语,不妨试试以下“影子跟读法”练习流程:
- 先完整听一遍视频,熟悉内容和语速,重点关注演讲者的语调变化。
- 逐句播放,每句重复3-5次:播放一句后暂停,立即跟读,模仿发音、重音和节奏,录制自己的声音。
- 对比原音和自己的录音,找出发音、语速或语调的差异,针对性改进。
- 整段连贯跟读,尝试与原音同步,逐渐缩短反应时间,提升口语流畅度。
坚持每天15-20分钟的影子跟读法练习,不仅能锻炼听力,还能快速提升口语表达的自然度,是英语口语练习的高效方法。通过模仿演讲者的表达方式,你会逐渐掌握地道的英语思维和表达习惯,让口语更上一层楼。
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。
