●Way for listening and speaking
You know “shadowing” don’t you? Shadowing is a way to listening and speaking in English. The way of Shadowing, in short, you listen what native speaker spoke, and you speak them just like that.
On this practice, you also need English CDs. Any CDs are ok. At first, you listen them without seeing texts and all you do is listening your CD with only your ears. You have to repeat this way 2 or 3 times.
Then, next, you begin to read aloud the English texts as listening the CD. And repeat this. When you come to read the text’s content without seeing, you try to speak them and listening CD at the same time. And you listen one sentence and you repeat the sentence without seeing. And you add to sentences that you listen and speak gradually.
This way is shadowing.
By this way, you can get used to not only listening and speaking English but also remembering expressions which are used by the sentences. Let’s try itJ
Mana, do you do shadowing by yourself? How often do you do it? What are some of the difficulties of doing it?
ReplyDeleteHello,Mr. Jeff. I try to do shadowing in those days. I use the site,"English central". This site is so interesting so I enjoy to study.
ReplyDeleteBut my mouth is not used to speaking English fluently, so I can't catch up with flowing English sentences. Also my pronunciations have problems. Do you have any good ways to get well?
