LANGUAGE TASK: BOOST YOUR INTRODUCTION
WHAT TO SAY?
Watch a Ted Talk on neuroscience and focus on the introduction. Fill in this collaborative document with useful and re-usable expressions found in the Ted talk you chose.
HOW TO SAY IT?
Practice shadowing.
Shadowing is a technique that can help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. To do so, you need to practice repeating parts of a sentence or a complete sentence right after the speaker as soon as possible.
Steps
1. Choose an audio material WITH a transcript: the TED TALK you chose.
2. Listen to the 1st paragraph and follow the transcript.
3. Listen to the audio again but STOP every 10 seconds and REPEAT what you just heard right after the speaker as soon as possible.Watch Rebecca Saxe describing how gestures support communication.
