INTRODUCTION

This is a completely innovative method to Questo un metodo completamente improve your vocabulary, thus becoming more innovativo per migliorare il tuo vocabolario, e and more independent with the language. per diventare cos pi indipendente con l'uso della lingua. We all know that when studying a foreign language, the best way to improve and enrich ones vocabulary is by reading extensively and by making practice. This remains the only valid and proven method, which we dont want to replace in any way and strongly recommend to all students of English. Our own method is only intended as a complement to the traditional one. This is how it works For each lesson we introduce a list of 40 new terms, divided into 4 blocks. One of the blocks contains terms referring to a specific subject, while each of the other three blocks contain terms referring to different subjects. Sappiamo tutti che quando si studia una lingua straniera, il modo migliore per migliorare ed arricchire il proprio vocabolario leggendo molto e facendo pratica. Questo rimane il solo valido metodo provato, che non vogliamo in alcun modo sostituire e che raccomandiamo vivamente a tutti gli studenti di inglese. Il nostro metodo inteso solo come complementare a quello tradizionale. Ecco come funziona Per ogni lezione introduciamo una lista di quaranta termini, divisa in quattro blocchi. Uno dei quattro blocchi contiene termini che fanno riferimeno ad un argomento specifico, mentre ognuno degli altri blocchi contiene termini che fanno riferimento a diversi argomenti.

On the printed book the student will therefore Sul fascicolo stampato lo studente trover find four lists, containing the English terms pertanto quattro liste, contenenti i termini in and their most common Italian translation. inglese e la loro traduzione pi comune in italiano. On the audio file each term is read by a speaker first in English, then in Italian and finally in English again. The whole process is carried out using a relaxing background music and each block of terms is read twice. Sul file audio ogni termine viene letto dapprima in inglese, poi in italiano e, infine, di nuovo in inglese. Il tutto viene svolto utilizzando una rilassante musica di sottofondo, ed ogni blocco viene letto due volte.

Time is given between one reading and the other for the student to read the term on the book The list is now read again, with time given for the time to repeat both the English term and its Italian translation. At this stage the student is requested to take a written activity, so that practice can be made with the terms. The student can now go back to the audio file, where he is asked to translate into Italian the terms he has just learned, read out in English at random. Sufficient time is given for the reply, and the correct reply is then read by the speaker. At the end of each lesson, students are strongly advised to listen to the audio file while carrying out activities such as driving, jogging or taking a walk, cooking, etc. to get more confident with the new terms. Our experience with this method has shown that at least 70% of the terms for each block actually gets memorised and is used in context. Of course, listening regularly to the audio file helps increase such percentage. Please note 1. We wish to point out that this method has got nothing to do with subliminal learning. The student just learns what is being clearly read out in the audio file, with no subliminal message involved, and actual listening, repeating and replying is requested. No passive learning! 2. Although the audio file should be listened to while carrying out other activities, major care should be taken with activities that require particular attention, such as driving. No responsibility is taken in such sense.

Viene dato del tempo tra una lettura e l'altra affinch lo studente possa leggere il termine sul libro. La lista viene ora letta di nuovo, e viene dato del tempo per ripetere sia il termine in inglese, che la sua traduzione in Italiano. A questo punto viene richiesto allo studente di svolvere un'attivit scritta, per fare pratica con i termini. Lo studente pu ora ritornare al file audio, dove gli viene chiesto di tradurre in Italiano i termini che ha appena imparato, letti in Inglese a caso. Viene dato tempo sufficiente per la risposta, e la stessa viene poi letta. Alla fine di ogni lezione, agli studenti viene vivamente consigliato di ascoltare il file audio mentre svolge altre attivit. Ad esempio, guidando, facendo jogging od una passeggiata, cucinando, ecc. per acquistare maggiore confidenza con i termini. La nostra esperienza con questo metodo ha dimostrato che almeno il 70% dei termini di ogni blocco viene memorizzato ed utilizzato in contesto. Naturalmente, un regolare ascolto del file audio aumenta tale percentuale. Atttenzione 1. Desideriamo puntualizzare che questo metodo non ha niente a che fare con l'apprendimento subliminale. Lo studente apprende solo quanto viene chiaramente letto nel file audio. Ascolto, ripetizione e risposte sono processi attivi. Non si tratta di apprendimento passivo! 3. Sebbene il file audio debba essere ascoltato mentre si svolgono altre attivit, si prega di porre attenzione alle attivit che richiedono attenzione particolare, come la guida. Non ci assumiamo alcuna responsabilit in tal senso.
