很多學生在Amie Road上課後總是覺得我們和別人不一樣，但他們卻說不出來哪裡不一樣。 今天就讓我們課程總監跟大家解密吧！ Hello everyone, and welcome back to Voices on the Road. I’m your host, Chloe. But before we dive in, as always, you can find our full transcript in the show notes. If you want to take notes while listening, or if you want to learn more about Amie Road, feel free to click the link and check it out! Alright, let's get back to today's topic. Today, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever memorized a list of fifty vocabulary words for a test, got a perfect score, but then a week later, you couldn't use a single one of those words in a real conversation? If this has happened to you, it is not your fault. It is because of the way you were taught. Today, we are going to talk about the teaching philosophy we use here at Amie Road. We are going to introduce a concept called CLT, and discuss why something called "contextualization" is the secret to true fluency. First, what is CLT? It stands for Communicative Language Teaching. In traditional classrooms, teachers focus mostly on strict grammar rules and translating sentences word by word. But CLT is an approach that believes the main goal of learning a language is simply to communicate. It focuses on real-life interactions. We want you to be able to order coffee, share your feelings, or debate a social issue, rather than just passing a multiple-choice test. To achieve this goal, we have to use something called Contextualization. What does this long word mean? Well, "context" means the situation or the background of an event. So, contextualization means learning language inside a real, meaningful situation. Think about it: words don't live alone. If you just memorize the word "flashy" or "subtle" from a dictionary, your brain doesn't know when or how to use them. You are learning the words in isolation. But if you learn the word "flashy" while we are talking about the "New Money" fashion trend, your brain instantly connects the word to a picture, a vibe, and a real-life situation. That is contextualization! This is exactly what we strive to do at Amie Road. Whether we are designing our main course syllabus or writing our weekly newsletters, we always incorporate contextualization. We don't just give you random grammar exercises. We give you a theme—like minimalism, Y2K fashion, or studying abroad—and we teach you the specific English you need for that exact situation. By learning this way, you are not just memorizing; you are preparing for real life! Now, let’s move to our Vocabulary Corner. Here are five key words from today's episode. 1. Approach This is a noun. It means a specific way of doing something or thinking about a problem. Example: "Amie Road uses a communicative approach to teach English." 2. Context This is a very important noun. It means the situation, background, or environment in which something happens. Example: "You can often guess the meaning of a new word by looking at its context." 3. Isolation This is a noun. It means the state of being separate from other people or things. Example: "It is very hard to remember vocabulary if you study it in isolation." 4. Incorporate This is a great B2 verb. It means to include something as part of something larger. Example: "We try to incorporate real-life situations into our syllabus design." 5. Syllabus This is a noun. It is a document that outlines the subjects or topics that will be studied in a particular course. Example: "The teacher gave us the syllabus on the first day of class."

I’ll see you in the next one, stay tuned! 首先，什麼是 CLT？它的全稱是「溝通式語言教學法」（Communicative Language Teaching）。 在傳統課堂中，老師大多著重於嚴格的語法規則和逐字翻譯句子。但 CLT 是一種教學法，它認為學習語言的主要目標就是為了「溝通」。它專注於現實生活中的互動。我們希望你能有能力去點咖啡、分享情感，或是辯論社會議題，而不僅僅是通過選擇題考試。 為了達成這個目標，我們必須運用所謂的「情境化」（Contextualization）。 這個長單字是什麼意思呢？「Context」（語境/情境）指的是事件的情況或背景。因此，情境化意味著在真實且有意義的情況下學習語言。 想想看，單字不是孤立存在的。如果你只是從字典裡背下「flashy」（俗氣、顯眼的）或「subtle」（微妙的）這些單字，你的大腦並不知道何時或如何使用它們。你是在「孤立狀態」下學習這些單字。 但如果你是在討論「新貴」（New Money）時尚趨勢時學到「flashy」這個詞，你的大腦會瞬間將這個詞與圖片、氛圍以及現實生活中的情境連結起來。這就是情境化！ 這正是我們在 Amie Road 極力追求的目標。無論是在規劃主課程大綱（syllabus）或撰寫每週電子報時，我們總是融入情境化。我們不只是給你隨機的語法練習，而是提供一個主題——比如極簡主義、Y2K 時尚或出國留學——並教你在那個特定情境下所需的專業英語。 透過這種方式學習，你不僅是在死記硬背，而是在為現實生活做準備！ 現在，讓我們進入「詞彙角落」。這裡有五個來自今天節目的關鍵詞彙： 1. Approach (教學法、方法) 這是一個名詞，指做某事或思考問題的特定方式。 例句：Amie Road 使用溝通式教學法來教授英語。 2. Context (情境、語境) 這是一個非常重要的名詞，指事情發生的情況、背景或環境。 例句：你通常可以透過觀察語境來猜測一個新單字的意思。 3. Isolation (孤立、隔離) 這是一個名詞，指與其他人或事物分開的狀態。 例句：如果你在孤立狀態下（單獨）學習，是很難記住單字的。 4. Incorporate (包含、融入) 這是一個很棒的 B2 等級動詞，意指將某事物作為更大整體的一部分納入其中。 例句：我們嘗試將現實生活中的情境融入到課程大綱的設計中。 5. Syllabus (課程大綱) 這是一個名詞，指概述特定課程中將要學習的科目或主題的文件。 例句：老師在開學第一天就給了我們課程大綱 聯絡 Amie Road ▫️追蹤我們的IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amieroad_official/">https://www.instagram.com/amieroad_official/</a> ▫️官網看更多資訊：<a href="https://amieroad.com/">https://amieroad.com/</a> ▫️加入官方Line了解課程：<a href="https://lin.ee/5VRMEiq">https://lin.ee/5VRMEiq</a> ▫️成為Amie Road VIP會員：<a href="https://reurl.cc/OR9dN9">https://reurl.cc/OR9dN9</a> ▫️合作/投稿：<a href="mailto:contact@amieroad.com">contact@amieroad.com</a> -- Hosting provided by <a href="https://www.soundon.fm/">SoundOn</a>

你是否也常常因為「背完單字隔天就忘記」的原因而放棄英文？ 千萬別氣餒！這只是「遺忘曲線」在運作罷了。 我們的大腦為了節省能量，會自動篩除那些我們不使用的資訊。 今天Amie Road 的課程總監要親自跟大家分享這個理論以外，也會教你如何打破這個惱人的機制！ 一起戰勝英文吧！ ＿＿＿＿＿＿ 逐字稿： Before we dive in, as always, you can find our full transcript in the show notes. If you want to take notes while listening, or if you want to learn more about Amie Road, feel free to click the link and check it out! Alright, let's get back to today's topic. Today, we are going to talk about something that every single language learner experiences. Tell me if this sounds familiar: You sit down at your desk, you spend an hour studying a list of 20 new English words, and you feel great. You know all of them! But then, you wake up the next morning, and… they are gone. You can only remember maybe three or four words. It is incredibly frustrating. You might think, "Wow, my memory is terrible!" But I am here to tell you a secret: Your memory is not terrible. Your brain is actually working exactly the way it is supposed to! Today, we are going to talk about a famous psychological concept called the Forgetting Curve, and how we can beat it. The Forgetting Curve was discovered by a German psychologist named Hermann Ebbinghaus. He did an experiment to see how fast humans forget new information. He found out that if we don't review what we learn, we lose information incredibly quickly. In fact, his graph shows that within just 24 hours, you might forget over 50% of what you learned! After a week, you might only retain about 10% or 20%. The curve drops very fast at the beginning, and then it flattens out. So, when you forget those English words the next day, it is not your fault. It is just the Forgetting Curve doing its job. Our brains are designed to throw away information that we don't use, to save energy. So, how do we fix this? How do we tell our brain, "Hey, keep these words, they are important!"? The answer is a technique called Spaced Repetition. To beat the curve, you have to review your notes at specific intervals—meaning specific amounts of time. You don't need to study the same word for three hours today. Instead, study it for five minutes today. Then, review it again tomorrow. Then, wait three days and review it again. Then, wait a week. Every time you review the word, you reset the curve back to 100%. And every time you do this, the curve drops slower and slower, until the word is finally locked in your long-term memory. So, take those notes, and make a smart schedule. Work with your brain, not against it! Now, let’s move to our Vocabulary Corner. Here are five key words from today's episode. 1. Frustrating This is an adjective. It describes a feeling of being annoyed or angry because you cannot achieve what you want. Example: "It is so frustrating when you study hard but still forget the vocabulary." 2. Curve This is a noun. It is a line that bends. On a graph, it shows how a number goes up or down. Example: "The forgetting curve shows a sharp drop in the first 24 hours." 3. Retain This is a formal B2 verb. It means to keep something or remember facts and information. Example: "Reading out loud can help you retain new English words." 4. Interval This is a noun. It means a period of time between two events. Example: "You should review your notes at regular intervals, like every three days." 5. Spaced Repetition This is a learning technique where you review information with increasing amounts of time between each review session. Example: "Using flashcards is a great way to practice spaced repetition." Thank you for listening to Voices on The Road.

I’ll see you in the next one, stay tuned! 「遺忘曲線」（The Forgetting Curve）是由一位名叫赫爾曼·艾賓豪斯（Hermann Ebbinghaus）的德國心理學家所發現的。 他進行了一項實驗，觀察人類遺忘新資訊的速度。 他發現，如果我們不複習所學的內容，遺忘的速度會快得驚人。事實上，他的圖表顯示，僅在 24 小時內，你就可能忘掉超過 50% 的學習內容！一週之後，你可能只剩下約 10% 到 20% 的記憶。 這條曲線在初期下降得非常快，隨後才會趨於平緩。所以，當你發現隔天就忘了那些英語單字時，那並不是你的錯，這只是「遺忘曲線」在運作罷了。我們的大腦為了節省能量，會自動篩除那些我們不使用的資訊。 那麼，我們該如何解決這個問題呢？我們該如何告訴大腦：「嘿，保留這些單字，它們很重要！」？ 答案就是一種稱為「間隔複習法」（Spaced Repetition）的技巧。 為了戰勝這個曲線，你必須在「特定間隔」——也就是固定的時間點——複習你的筆記。你不需要今天花三小時重複背同一個單字，相反地，今天只需學習五分鐘，明天再複習一次，接著間隔三天後再複習，然後再間隔一週。 每次你複習該單字時，都會將記憶曲線重置回 100%。而每一次這樣做，曲線下降的速度就會越來越慢，直到該單字最終被鎖定在你的長期記憶中。 所以，記好筆記並安排一個聰明的複習計劃吧。順應你的大腦運作方式，而不是跟它作對！ 現在，讓我們進入「詞彙角落」。這裡有五個來自今天節目的關鍵詞彙： 1. Frustrating (令人挫折的) 這是一個形容詞，用來描述因為無法達成目標而感到惱火或憤怒的感覺。 例句：明明很努力學習卻還是忘記單字，這真的非常令人挫折。 2. Curve (曲線) 這是一個名詞，指彎曲的線條。在圖表上，它顯示了數值的升降變化。 例句：遺忘曲線顯示在最初的 24 小時內會有大幅度的下降。 3. Retain (保持、記住) 這是一個正式的 B2 等級動詞，意指保留某物，或記住事實與資訊。 例句：大聲朗讀有助於你記住（保持）新的英語單字。 4. Interval (間隔) 這是一個名詞，指兩個事件之間的時間段。 例句：你應該以規律的間隔複習筆記，例如每三天一次。 5. Spaced Repetition (間隔複習法) 這是一種學習技巧，透過在每次複習之間增加時間長度來鞏固記憶。 例句：使用單字卡是練習間隔複習法的好方法。 聯絡 Amie Road ▫️追蹤我們的IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amieroad_official/">https://www.instagram.com/amieroad_official/</a> ▫️官網看更多資訊：<a href="https://amieroad.com/">https://amieroad.com/</a> ▫️加入官方Line了解課程：<a href="https://lin.ee/5VRMEiq">https://lin.ee/5VRMEiq</a> ▫️成為Amie Road VIP會員：<a href="https://reurl.cc/OR9dN9">https://reurl.cc/OR9dN9</a> ▫️合作/投稿：<a href="mailto:contact@amieroad.com">contact@amieroad.com</a> -- Hosting provided by <a href="https://www.soundon.fm/">SoundOn</a>

你有沒有過這樣的經驗？ 上課或聽講座時，手上的原子筆從來沒停過，密密麻麻地抄下了所有的內容； 又或者，總覺得筆記一定要做得漂漂亮亮、用色斑斕，才算是有在認真學習。 但你有沒有想過，如果我們只是像機器一樣照抄，大腦其實正在進行「被動學習」，這也是為什麼許多知識我們總是轉頭就忘。 真正的記筆記高手，他們的筆記本可能不完美，但在記錄的過程中，大腦其實都在進行一場高強度的「健身鍛鍊」。他們做筆記不只是為了留存紀錄，而是為了啟動關鍵的思考機制，無痛將聽到的資訊內化成自己帶得走的能力。 在本集節目中，我們將打破大家對「完美筆記」的迷思，帶你重新梳理如何透過更有策略的記錄與後續行動，讓你的英文與生活知識學習真正不一樣。 如果你也想告別被動照抄、想知道如何真正精通那些課本沒教的知識， 一起收聽這集，讓我們打破學習的盲點！❤️ 逐字稿： Chloe: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Voices on the Road. I’m your host, Chloe. Chloe: But before we dive in, as always, you can find our full transcript in the description box . If you want to take notes while listening, or if you want to learn more about Amie Road, feel free to click the link and check it out! Alright, let's get back to today's topic. Actually, the announcement I just made is the perfect introduction for today's episode. I always tell you that you can take notes while listening, but today I want to talk about why you should do it. We all know we should take notes. Teachers have been telling us to do it since elementary school. But what is the real importance of note-taking, especially when you are learning a language? Chloe: Many students think that taking notes just means copying exactly what the teacher says, or writing down every single word from a presentation. But if you just copy like a machine, you are doing something we call passive learning. Good note-taking is actually active learning. When you take notes properly, your brain has to do a lot of work. You have to listen to the information, understand it, decide what is the most important part, and then write it down in your own words. This process is like a workout for your brain. It helps move the information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory. Chloe: So, how can we be better at it? First, don't try to write everything. Just jot down the key points. If we are learning English, write down the new vocabulary, or those natural "chunks" and idioms we talked about in previous episodes. Second, don't worry about making your notes look perfect. Thanks to social media, we sometimes feel like our notes need to be beautiful and aesthetic, with five different colors of highlighters. But they don't! Your notes just need to be clear and useful for you. **And finally, the most important part of note-taking happens *after* you finish writing. You have to review them. **Taking the notes is only half of the journey. Looking at them again the next day, or a week later, is how you truly master the knowledge. Chloe: Now, let’s move to our Vocabulary Corner. Here are five key words and phrases from today's episode. 1. Passive / Active These are opposite adjectives. "Passive" means accepting what happens without doing anything. "Active" means participating and putting in effort. Example: "Don't just be a passive listener; try to be an active learner." 2. Process As a verb, this means to think about and understand information. Example: "My brain needs a moment to process all these new English grammar rules." 3. Jot down This is a very natural phrasal verb. It means to write something quickly so that you don't forget it. Example: "Let me just jot down your phone number before I forget." 4. Summarize This is a verb that means to express the most important facts or ideas about something in a short and clear way. Example: "Can you summarize the main point of the movie for me?" 5. Review This means to look at or study something again, especially before an exam or to help you remember it. Example: "I always review my vocabulary notes on Sunday evenings."
