◆概要

今回のエピソードは、初心に帰ってオリジナルメンバーの3人でお届けします。Episode 8以降、DDDを訪ねてくれた、個性豊かなゲストによってバラエティーに富んだエピソードをお届けしてきました。その中でShuとSokiは、少しづつ「違う英語」を話すゲストたちとの会話において、その流れに上手に入り込んでいくことの難しさを痛感しました。これはおそらく言語学習、ひいてはコミュニケーションの本質に関わる部分でしょう。

このエピソードでは”transmission”, ”imitation”, ”flexibility”, ”confidence”などをキーワードに、「B2とC1以上の話者の壁の正体」、つまり「コミュニケーションの本質とは何か」、という問いに迫っていきます。

◆Description

This no-frills episode features our original three cast members, sans guest.

From Episode 8 onwards, we have welcomed 7 guests to our show. Every guest that visited had a slightly different style of speech, which made Shu and Soki realize that jumping into the flow of an existing conversation can be a huge challenge for B2 speakers. This seems not only to be just a question of learning the language, but also to be that of the essence of communication. These guests, with their distinctive characteristics and personalities, provided us with the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the nature of the barrier that stands between the B2 and C1 levels; or, in other words, into the nature of communication itself.
