英語レベルチェック

REALプログラムでは、AdvancedとBeginnerの2種類の難易度の教材を提供しています。どちらの教材が自分に適しているのかは以下の音声・テキストをご覧になってみて、次の基準を参考にご判断ください。

①：テキストを見ずに1,2回聞いて、大枠の内容が頭に入ってくるかどうか。

細かい情報は漏らしていたとしても、話題や論旨の方向性が捉えられていたら教材のレベルとしては適切です。

②：（リスニングが苦手な方の場合）辞書を引かずにテキストを読んでみて、あまり立ち止まらずにスムーズに読めて、大体の内容が頭に入ってくるかどうか。

意味はわかるけど、ちょっと背伸びするくらいのレベル感が教材としては最適です。

When you decide to acquire English, what kind of learning method comes to mind?
Many people think of having conversation lessons with native speakers, but, in fact, this alone is terribly inefficient, especially for entry-level and intermediate learners.
One study shows that it takes about 3,000 hours for Japanese learners to acquire English. Learning a language requires a lot of effort, but since our time is limited, we need to choose the most efficient way.
Fortunately, a series of scientific studies have shown what works and what doesn’t. According to the research of Second Language Acquisition, there are 2 essential requirements for effective learning; repetition of comprehensible input and the necessity to produce output. Input-based learning is particularly important. What do they specifically mean? Why are they important? How can we improve our English the most effectively?

Many Japanese people have trouble learning English. This is partly because we learn English the wrong way. Many people believe that talking with native speakers is the best way. But it is actually not effective for beginners.
According to the science of language learning, the most important thing is input practice. We need to start with listening and reading practice to improve our vocabulary, listening ability, and grammar skills.
If you don’t have enough vocabulary to explain your idea, what can you practice in speaking lessons? If you're new to baseball and can't even play catch, you will not start by playing in games. Instead, you will start with basic practice. If you only have speaking lessons without input learning, it is like only playing in games without practice.
