  • "Ideas worth spreading" shouldn't be limited by the belief that we must
    all speak complicated, high-level English. Simple English can sometimes
    be the most powerful. Ms. Yukiko Nakayama will show you how confident,
    simple English opens up many more opportunities of communication than
    uncertain, advanced English.
    Ms. Yukiko Nakayama is the representative director of U-ENGLISH
    corporation. She also works as a full-time lecturer at Japan Society for
    Technical Communication (JSTC), and as a part-time lecturer in the
    engineering departments of various universities in Japan, including
    Kyoto University. She has passed the Grade-1 EIKEN Test in Practical
    English Proficiency and the Level-1 English Technical Writing Test,
    including an honorable mention award from the Ministry of Education,
    Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Her job focuses on the revision
    and translation of technical manuscripts as well as patents. She also
    teaches technical English at various companies, universities, and
    technical colleges, and has written textbooks on the subject.​

    I have been teaching English to UN staff for over 25 years and the biggest challenge has been convincing my students that simple language is far more effective than using jargon and complicated structures. This is true for both speaking and writing.

      @Lhlem92 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Exactly ! It is so hard to find people sharing this point of view. A lot of people think that if you want to seem pro, you need to use complicated structures. That is crazy.
      Even native speakers love complicated structures. They give bad examples to the learners.

    とてもわかりやすいお話で、良かったです。試験のための難しい英語ばかり(コミュニケーションのためではなく、机上だけ)をやらされてきた世代なので、Nakayama様のプレゼンで安心しました。「そうか、こんな風に簡潔にわかりやすく話せばいいんだ」と。毎日、英語の欠かせない生活なので、この考え方が役立ちそうです。

    I teach Spanish, and I tell my students the same all the time, subject, verb, object if there is one, and the rest. In Romance languages it requires consciousness of the conjugations, and their relationship to English, in order to start building their own English site in their brains. I teach to English speaking students.

  • @lorelittrell
    @lorelittrell 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is a perfect method for beginners and people with no confidence I will also recommend it, but sadly it's not enough for working in some companies where people especially native speakers expect you to bring some more detailed and structured ideas to the table and it's not enough to fully understand English because even if you can communicate you may no be able to understand them.
