5 Steps to speak a new language (Hung Q. Pham)

CHAPTER 5 (2^nd Input The Sound – Mapping Technique)

 “Language is the means of getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery.” – MARK AMIDON

This chapter to share with you a listening technique. This is probably the most expected section because the listening skill seems to be a problem for every language learner.

Why can or can’t you hear what people speak?

“in the first case, the person with the speech disorder used the same words, phrases and sentences that you have been hearing over and over again”. So, the fact is that you cannot hear what you have never heard before. That is the reason why trying to listen to tapes containing many new words that learners have not learned nor heard before is a waste of their time and effort.

A similar mechanism works when you are listening to a language. If you don’t have the “sound map” yet, you won’t be able to identify the sounds clearly and, therefore, the words.

The Sound – Mapping listening technique

Where to get your listening material?

1.       Audio books and audio stories : if you want to learn English language, you should listen audio book + film Harry Potter. Because it is make you easy and not difficult.

2.       Video or audio news : you can try searching on the Internet to find websites that contain both clips/audio and its transcript.

3.       Movies : you absolutely can practice your listening skills using movies with subtitles in the target language.

How to practice the Sound – Mapping listening technique?

·          Step 1: Listen to the first sentence; then imitate exactly what the speaker said.

·         Step 2: Look at your transcript to check the words.

·         Step 3: Listen to the sentence again, repeat it out loud and, at the same time, visualize its meaning.

·         Step 4: Listen to the whole paragraph without looking at the transcript while visualizing the meaning.

Listening and Reading – a perfect couple

your reading speed will be greater than your speed in listening, so you should practicing the two skills. Depending on your needs, you can decide to spend more time reading than listening or vice versa. Either way, you should often alternate practicing the two skills to maximize the learning effect.
