https://engoo.com/app/daily-news/article/language-study-babies-learn-better-with-others/OiFDgNdgEei_nxuMUCM3og

 

The article says the impotance of learning language with others for babies.

The article highlights two studies, the first of which showed that children learn language better when someone is speaking to them than when watching videos.

the second of which showed a higher level of language learning among the children who watched the videos with another child than the children who watched the video by themselves.

Working with others has benefits that providing information and motivation.

 

Do researchers understand why very young children learn languages much faster than older children or adults?
 
No. They still don't understand why.
 
 
What language did the children listen to?
 
9-month-years-old cheildren listened to Mandarin-language videos in the study.
 
 
Why is it good to work with others when learning a language, according to Patricia Kuhl?
 
S not only V O but also V O

What are your thoughts on the findings of this study?
 
時々娘にテレビを見せるんだけど、すぐに飽きてしまいます。でも、私がそばにいたり、私が話しかけて一緒にテレビを見ると、飽きずに見てくれるんです。まさに研究の通りだと思います。
 
最近公園に娘を連れて行くと、娘は他の子供をじっと見て、真似をします。
例えば、砂場で一人で遊んでいる時はただ砂を触るだけだったのに、
他の子がシャベルを使っているのを見て、娘も使い始めたんです。
 
他の子と遊ぶことでいろんなことを吸収していると感じます。
 
 
 
Why do you think very young children are able to learn languages faster than adults?
 
失敗を恐れないから
子供は大人と違ってやりたいことをやるし、いろんなことに挑戦するし、集中する力を持っている。
私も英語を話す時は自分のこと赤ちゃんだと思うようにしよう。
 
 
 
If you had children, would you want them to learn a second language from a very young age? Why? Why not?
 
小さい頃から母国語以外の言葉に触れることはいいことだと思う。第二言語を学んで話せるようになってほしいし、それがゴールじゃなくて話すことでたくさんの人とコミュニケーションを取れるようになってほしい。
日本の文化以外を知ることで世界も広がる。例えばわからないことがあって調べる時英語ができたら世界中の情報から調べることができるから。あとはいろんな価値観や考えを知ることができて、それが生活や仕事に役立つことがある。
what foreign people think about, different values, the idea, take advantage of these
 
あなたの子供は日本語と英語どちらも話すの?ママは日本人でしょ?
 
 
When you were in school, did you usually study by yourself or with others? Please explain your answer.
 
一人で勉強していました。
海外ドラマで学校の風景見て日本と違うと感じるところがある。
机が円卓でみんなが向かい合って座っているところ。
本の学校で、授業中みんなで話す機会ってあんまりない。
小学校から大学までずっと、ただ聞くだけが多いと思う。
数学とか集中しないといけない科目はそれでいいかもしれないけど、
英語とか話すことで身に付く科目はもっと授業のスタイルを変えていく必要があると思う。
 
 
Do you ever watch videos in order to improve your English skills? If so, what kind of videos do you usually watch? If not, why not?
 
気分転換になるから 海外ドラマ見たり洋楽はよく聞きます。
for a change of pace
学習のためじゃなくただ単に好きだから、海外ドラマはよく見る。
 
ほんとにたまに映画見て真似したりする
Just look at the dancers and try to copy exactly what they are doing.
 
でも今の私には難しい、早すぎる。
for me at the moment
 
今は、見るより実際に話す方が、私にとっていいかな。
for now
 
 
What was your motivation for learning English? Please explain your answer.
英語を始めたきっかけは、ビジネスを始めたいから。
子どもの学習塾を開きたいと思ってる。
海外の教育について学びたいから英語ができるようになりたい。
 
 
How do you keep yourself motivated when learning becomes difficult? Please explain your answer.
いきなり高い目標を設定しても続かないから、今は日常会話ができるようになることが目標です。
モチベーションを保つために、細かく目標を設定しています。
例えば今日の授業ではこの単語を言ってみようとか。
 
 
 
Do any of your friends or family speak English? If so, how often do you speak to them in English?
私の夫の弟は今年からNYに勤務になったけど、彼は英語が話せない。
石油業界で働いてて、向こうでも仕事は全て日本語らしい。
3年いる予定で仕事以外で英語を使うだろうからきっと話せるようになると思う。
 
 
Apart from English, what languages would you like to be able to speak? Please explain your answer.
中国語です。仕事で役に立ちそうだから。
中国の商品を買って、日本で売るビジネスが今流行ってて、
私も5年くらい前に副業をやってたんです。
スマホケースを売ってたんだけど、可愛いデザインでそんなに質も悪くないのに、1つ5円とかで売ってた。輸入コストがかかるけど、それでも1つ500円くらいで仕入れできる。自分でオンラインショップをデザインして商品を梱包してって結構大変だけど、かなり稼げる!
本業が忙しくなって辞めたけど、日本で売れそうな商品を選んだりするの楽しかったからまたやりたい。
 
 
Learning a foreign language has benefits beyond just learning the language. - Shawn Schoefield. Do you agree? Why? Why not?
 
 
 
 
 
英語が話せると日本ではキャリアアップに繋がる。
他の国と比べると日本では英語を話せる人が少ないから、必要とされる。
あとは海外旅行がより楽しくなる。
話せないと道に迷ったり、わからないことがあっても聞くのに苦労する。

自分の考え

Have you eaten soy meat?

I think steamed chicken

processed meat including protein

It used to be popular in Japan. Because it tastes like meat but it's healthy.

I don't really like it.  It is not good.

I want that to get better with Japanese technology.

 

 

in Japan, Obesity is less common than in many other countries.

Japanese have a basic diet that is healthy and low-calorie.

For example, eating rice, miso soup, pickles, and fish.

I'm used to eating that. and they are easy to cook. so I often have that.

And, convinience store is everywhere in Japan. we can buy healthy food anytime.

So, there are few obese people in Japan.

 

However I think exercise level is falling in japan due to the pandemic.
I think I have to stay in shape with exercise. but I can't always...

A lack of exercise is bad for your health.

 

How is your country?

 

I found out that the Philippines has the same obesity rate as Japan.

 

質問

I have question about grammer.  Can I ask you a question?

I didn't understand "to do all they could" in this article.

when I serch this phese, I look at to do all they can.

Why is could used in this article? Why is past sentence?

 

何を学べた?

Overall, this article highlights the worming obesity rates and emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue through various means.

 

including government intervention, education, and healthcare services.
