쉐도잉 연습: Communicating with Your Child - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Positive communication with our children helps them develop in a healthy way and strengthens our bond with them.

Parents can really kind of tune in to what their kids are saying to kind of build those communication skills, help their children build language skills, and by saying, you know, what are -- what did you say, and repeating back what the kids said and reflecting on that emotion that kids are expressing.

There are four steps for communicating positively with your child.

Step One, praise.

Use praise to help your child know what you'd like them to do.

Be clear and specific with your praise.

Instead of good job, say good job putting away your toys.

Great job putting your toys away, Jenny.

It's very, very important as a parent to be conscious as much as possible of what your kids are doing; that you're checking in on them enough; that there's opportunities to acknowledge what they're doing that it's good.

Step Two, imitation.

You can copy or imitate the things your child is doing that you want them to keep doing.

This shows your child that you are paying attention to them and interested in what they are doing.

When copying and imitating, make sure you do the things the way your child does.

Do not try to do things better or faster than your child.

Then they see that you've recognized that they're doing something that you're also doing.

Wow. Mommy likes that.

Mommy likes to play with my dolls too.

So that must be something good that I'm doing.

I'm going to do that again in the future.

Step Three, description.

Describing or talking about what your child is doing while they play shows your child you are noticing their good behavior.

You can act like a sportscaster who is telling people what is happening in a game.

You are putting the red block on the green block and making a tall tower.

Step Four, active listening.

Giving your child your full attention when you are playing and talking with them can help build your relationship.

At least once a day try to really focus on being with your child.

Try to decrease distractions, like cell phones, so you can give her your full attention.

One way to actively listen is to talk about what your child is doing or to repeat what your child says.

You can also add more detail to encourage them to talk to you more.

For example, your child may say I colored it, but with active listening you may add to that and say yes, you colored her dress blue and red.

Active listening can also help children name their feelings.

For example, if your child is crying and says she's not happy, you may say you seem unhappy and sad.

Playtime is a great time to practice praise, imitation, description and active listening.

You can also use these skills any time you are with your child; at dinner, in the car, and when giving a bath.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
