Summary

This activity is designed to improve sentence accuracy and complexity. Most students can produce the key content words in a sentence. However, they have difficulty with accuracy because the functional words are difficult or can seem unimportant. This activity will help learners eliminate problems with these functional words by giving them immediate feedback on the mistakes they are making. It will also help students develop their use of more natural, varied and complex sentence structures.

TIP: Say the sentence out loud. Notice the types of mistake you make often. Focus on those types of errors. (singular/plural, subject-verb agreement, article use, prepositions, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, adjective clauses, word order, and word forms.)

Resumen

Esta actividad está diseñada para mejorar la precisión y complejidad de las oraciones. La mayoría de los estudiantes pueden producir las palabras clave del contenido en una oración. Sin embargo, tienen dificultades con la precisión porque las palabras funcionales son difíciles o pueden parecer poco importantes. Esta actividad ayudará a los alumnos a eliminar problemas con estas palabras funcionales al brindarles retroalimentación inmediata sobre los errores que están cometiendo. También ayudará a los estudiantes a desarrollar su uso de estructuras de oraciones más naturales, variadas y complejas.

CONSEJO: Diga la oración en voz alta. Observe los tipos de errores que comete con frecuencia. Concéntrese en ese tipo de errores. (singular / plural, concordancia entre sujeto y verbo, uso del artículo, preposiciones, gerundios e infinitivos, cláusulas sustantivas, cláusulas adjetivas, orden de las palabras y formas de las palabras).

triangle Listen & Repeat 듣고 따라하기 Ouça e repita Escuchar y repetir [ ? ]

Listen & Repeat


This activity has two purposes.

The first purpose is to improve listening accuracy. Learners can often understand the general meaning of a video but still not hear and understand many of the words that are said. This is because native speakers tend to say the functional words unclearly. (eg. don’t know, going to, want to, can’t, must have) This activity is designed to help learners improve their ability to hear these words.

TIP: Learners should listen, and then try to repeat exactly what they hear. Then they should click “Show” and read the sentence. After reading the sentence, learners should listen again and try to hear each word.

The second purpose is to improve pronunciation.

TIP: Learners should listen to and read the sentences at the same time. Then learners should try to copy the pronunciation and intonation of the speaker exactly.

TIP: Exaggerating the intonation and feeling of the speaker is useful. It may feel awkward or funny, but it will help you sound more natural.

Escuchar y Repetir

Esta actividad tiene dos propósitos separados.

El primer propósito es mejorar la precisión auditiva. Los estudiantes a menudo pueden comprender el significado general de un video, pero aún no escuchan ni comprenden muchas de las palabras que se dicen. En particular, los hablantes nativos tienden a decir las palabras funcionales (p. Ej., No sé, voy a, quiero, no puedo, debe haberlo hecho) de manera poco clara. Esta actividad está diseñada para ayudar a los alumnos a mejorar su capacidad para escuchar estas palabras.

CONSEJO: Los alumnos deben escuchar y luego intentar repetir exactamente lo que se dijo. Luego deben hacer clic en "Show" y leer la oración. Después de leer la oración, los alumnos deben volver a escuchar e intentar escuchar cada palabra.

El segundo propósito es mejorar la pronunciación.

CONSEJO: Los alumnos deben escuchar y leer las oraciones al mismo tiempo. Luego, los alumnos deben intentar copiar la pronunciación y la entonación del hablante.

CONSEJO: Es útil exagerar la entonación y el sentimiento del hablante. Puede parecer incómodo o divertido, pero te ayudará a sonar más natural.

듣고 따라하기

이 액티비티에는 두 가지 목적이 있습니다.

첫 번째 목적은 청취 정확도를 높이는 것입니다. 학생들은 종종 비디오의 일반적인 의미를 이해할 수 있지만 여전히 많은 단어를 듣고 이해하지 못합니다. 특히 원어민은 기능적 단어 (예 : 모르겠다, 갈 것, 갖고 싶어, 가질 수 없어야 한다)를 불분명하게 말하는 경향이 있습니다. 이 액티비티는 학습자가 이러한 단어를 듣는 능력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 고안되었습니다.

팁 : 학습자는 듣고 나서 말한 내용을 정확하게 반복해야 합니다. 그들은“Show”를 클릭하고 문장을 읽어야 합니다. 문장을 읽은 후 학습자는 다시 듣고 각 단어를 들어야 합니다.

두 번째 목적은 발음을 향상시키는 것입니다.

팁 : 학습자는 동시에 문장을 듣고 읽어야 합니다. 그런 다음 학습자는 화자의 발음과 억양을 따라 해 보아야 합니다.

팁 : 화자의 억양과 느낌을 과장하는 것이 유용합니다. 어색하거나 재미있게 느껴질 수 있지만 더 자연스럽게 들리는 데 도움이 됩니다.

Ouvir e repetir


Esta atividade tem dois propósitos.

O primeiro objetivo é melhorar a precisão auditiva. Os alunos geralmente podem entender o significado geral de um vídeo, mas ainda não ouvem e entendem muitas das palavras que são ditas. Isso ocorre porque os falantes nativos tendem a dizer as palavras funcionais de forma pouco clara. (por exemplo, não sei, vou, quero, não posso, devo ter) Esta atividade é projetada para ajudar os alunos a melhorar sua capacidade de ouvir essas palavras.

DICA: os alunos devem ouvir e tentar repetir exatamente o que ouviram. Em seguida, deveriam clicar em “Mostrar” e ler a frase. Depois de ler a frase, os alunos devem ouvir novamente e tentar ouvir cada palavra.

O segundo objetivo é melhorar a pronúncia.

DICA: os alunos devem ouvir e ler as frases ao mesmo tempo. Em seguida, os alunos devem tentar copiar exatamente a pronúncia e a entonação do falante.

DICA: É útil exagerar na entonação e no sentimento do falante. Pode parecer estranho ou engraçado, mas ajudará você a soar mais natural.

triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Manny: Mom, the dog again.

Gloria: I know, papi. I want to strangle that crazy old thing.

Phil: Just ignore it.

Gloria: It's easy for you to ignore because you have the old-man hearing. But Manny and I, we have the young ears.

Phil: I don't get how one dog keeps you awake when you grew up sleeping through cockfights and revolutions.

Gloria: Very funny, Jay. Manny hasn't been able to sleep in weeks. It's screwing his brain for school, and it doesn't stop. It's goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on!

Phil: Yes! That could be annoying.

Gloria: That's it. I'm going over there.

Phil: Gloria, now don't go starting something. Because whenever you do, I'm the one that That she couldn't hear.

Gloria: Buenos dias. Hi. We haven't formally met. I'm Gloria Pritchett from next door.

Larry: Larry Paulson. Yeah, I've seen you. Lucky guy.

Phil: Wait a minute, then tell me.

Gloria: Your dog doesn't stop barking all morning, all night. He wakes my son up, and he needs his sleep.

Larry: It's not my dog. It's my soon-to-be ex-wife's. She moved out three weeks ago.

Phil: Is she coming back for it?

Larry: Not unless it starts crapping money.

Gloria: Well, you need to do something about the dog.

Larry: The dog is old and stupid.

Manny: Who are you really mad at, Larry the dog or your wife?

Larry: Who the hell is this kid?

Phil: There's no need for that.

Gloria: I'll tell you who he is. His name is Shut Up Your Damn Dog!

Larry: You know what's ironic? You come over here complaining and I have never once said a word about that obnoxious parrot of yours that's always squawking.

Phil: Parrot?

Gloria: What parrot?

Gloria: Jay! Jay! Jay!

Gloria: What is he talking about? What parrot?

Phil: How the hell do I know?

Gloria: What do we do now?

Phil: Nothing. We did it. He heard us.

Gloria: He didn't hear nothing. Jay, don't go. Jay! Jay! Jay!


Phil: I'm coming!

Larry: Where the hell's the dog?

Gloria: Who is it?

Phil: It's our neighbor.

Larry: The dog is gone.

Phil: Maybe it ran away.

Gloria: Maybe your wife took it.

Larry: According to my credit card, my wife is in Europe searching for the world's most expensive hotel.

Phil: Then what do you want from us?

Larry: You come over complaining about the dog. And the next day it's gone? You tell me.

Phil: I'll tell...

Gloria: How dare you? You come to our house, you ring our bell many times and you accuse us of taking your dog!

Phil: You should go home.

Larry: We're not done here.

Phil: Yes, we are.

Phil: What did you do?

Gloria: You don't want to know.


Phil: Gloria's grandfather and uncles were butchers, so she's always had a certain comfort level when it comes to killing. One time, we had this rat.

Gloria: What? First you smash it. Then you cut the head off.

Phil: It was like nothing to her.

Gloria: I go to church now.

Phil: She left the head out there to send a message to the other rats.


Manny: Hey!

Phil: Ah! Don't sneak up on me like that. What are you doing out here?

Manny: You got in my head about my mom. Is that the rat shovel?

Phil: Yeah.

Manny: Are you checking it for signs of dog?

Phil: I was going to.

Manny: Let's do this quick. If she catches us, we're as dead as that dog probably is.

Gloria: What are you doing here?

Phil: Nothing.

Gloria: Why are you looking at that shovel? Do you think someone did something with that shovel, Manny?

Manny: He thinks you killed the dog!

Phil: You little rat.

Manny: Don't call me a rat! She kills rats!


Gloria: You really think that I would kill a dog?

Phil: What was I supposed to think?

Gloria: I don't know. How about I didn't kill a dog?

Phil: Just tell me what you did with it.

Gloria: He's in a better place.

Phil: That's what people say when something's dead.

Gloria: Okay, fine. I took him to a farm where he has plenty of room to run.

Phil: That's the second thing people say when something's dead.

Gloria: My hairdresser's brother has three kids. They live in the country. They were so happy to have the dog that they gave me a jar of pickles. Is that also what they say when something is dead?

Phil: Really?

Gloria: Look. Look how happy they are instead of him being tied to a tree outside with no one to talk to.

Phil: Why didn't you just tell me this in the first place?

Gloria: Ay, like you would be okay with me stealing a dog.

Phil: No.

Gloria: Exactly. That's why I didn't tell you. Now the dog is happy, Manny can sleep, and we have pickles.
