To be honest, I haven’t updated YouTube for awhile because of the high cost of producing a video (both money and time). However, you can still check out the channel for English learning videos, and I will update it whenever I can.
Our blog, which gets about 2000 visitors a day, is a compilation of all the free resources I published on all media. Thus, if you do not want to get on FB, feel free to check it out.

Instagram 📣📣📣
IG: https://www.instagram.com/esenglishlounge/
I started working on Instagram a few months ago and so far I have three types of posts:
我幾個月前也開始投入IG!目前有三種貼文:
1. Word of the Day: I go over the pronunciation, collocations and provide example sentences. All these words are high frequency tier-2, cross-domain vocabulary words that appear in both academic texts and the news.
每日單字:我會針對發音、搭配詞、單字用法進行說明。所有的單字都來自高頻Tier 2跨領域學術詞彙,你會常在學術文章和新聞看到它們。
2. News English: I publish abridged, translated, and audio versions of news stories found in the NY Times, Reuters, the Guardian, and so on. These take a bit of time to do, so please use these resources as a part of your learning.
時事英文:我會發布來自紐約時報、路透社、衛報等網站的新聞,並且花了不少時間提供三合一服務(新聞摘要、翻譯、有聲版)。言下之意就是多使用這些資源吧!
3. Daily life English topics: Anything that I find interesting or useful to students
生活英文主題:只要是有趣或是實用的資訊都會出現~
So, if you need any of these resources, feel free to follow. Everything is free and I will do my best to keep it that way. Do follow me on Instagram if you need News English and want to expand your vocabulary!

[專頁公告] 英文學習「生態系」更新
English Learning Ecosystem Update
As I began exploring Instagram, I struggled to find a way to deliver useful academic content. Instagram posts typically focus on images, short clips, and concise text, which are attention grabbing but not always entirely conducive to language learning. I looked over the posts of established Instagram English learning accounts, and experimented with vocabulary posts and even news posts for a couple of weeks. Not wanting to post just images, I thought about creating something new even with the rigid format of the platform.
當我開始研究怎麼用IG,我想盡了各種辦法,希望能提供大家一些實用的學術內容。 IG 的特色著重在圖片、短片以及簡潔的文字,這樣的方式雖然很容易引人注目,卻不全然有助於語言學習。我瀏覽了 IG 上英文教學網紅的貼文,並在這幾週嘗試發了一些學術單字與新聞相關的文章。我並不想只是發一些圖片,而思考著要如何在既有框架下創作一些新的東西。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A tenet of using tech in education is to engage students with what they are familiar with, not give them an entirely new platform that is difficult to use. So, how could I create a new series of Instagram posts that is both educational and unique? I thought about my goal to disseminate academic English resources, and how I could leverage my experience as a curriculum writer and voice recording artist for public school textbooks.
一個使用科技進行教育的原則是用學生熟悉的方式與他們互動,而非用了全新的平台卻使他們難以學習。那麼,我應該如何創作獨特且具教育意義的一系列全新 IG 發文呢?我想到了我傳遞學術英文資源的目標,以及思考到該如何發揮身為教科書編輯者與音頻錄製者的經驗。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
So far, this is what I have at the moment. I will post Word of the Day (每日一詞), high frequency vocabulary words that you see in academic texts and sometimes on the news. These Tier 2 academic vocabulary words are not exclusive to a single domain and complement the theme-based approach I’ve taken with my mind-mapping vocabulary class. You can find other vocabulary learning methods here.
這是我目前所想到的內容:我會發布「每日一詞」,也就是學術文章或是新聞中有時出現的高頻字彙。這些Tier 2學術詞彙並不限於單個領域,更補充了我在心智圖詞彙攻略課程中採用的主題式學習法。你還可以在下面網站找到其他詞彙學習方法。
🎓 詞彙學習方法:http://bit.ly/2JGXKvK
In these posts, I added the pronunciation, collocation, and example sentences of each word for students. These words will be helpful to university-level students who often read academic texts and the news. Students can access them by simply clicking on the hashtag 學術英語單字.
在這些貼文中,我為學生提供了發音、搭配用法和例句。這些單字會對經常閱讀學術文章和新聞的大學程度學生有所幫助。學生只要點貼文上的#學術英語單字即可看到貼文。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
To help students use more precise and common academic phrases, I then added Academic Phrases (每日一句), set phrases that appear in both academic speech and writing. These phrases have varying functions from introducing a topic to comparing and contrasting ideas. There is a difference between speech and writing, so I picked words that could be used for both. If one is used only in a specific context, I will make note of it in the video recording. This series of posts will help students with language output, and can be found under the following hashtag 學術英語片語.
為了幫助學生使用更精準、更道地的常見學術用語,我們接著會進入「每日一句」,也就是在學術演說與寫作中常見的用語。這些片語具有不同的功能,範圍涵蓋介紹主題到比較、對比想法等等。而演講和寫作之間也有不同,所以我選擇了都可以使用的片語。如果只能在特定情況下使用,我會在影片中特別說明。該系列文章將會幫助學生提高語言輸出能力,可以在 # 學術英語片語找到。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
Last, I will follow up with an abridged version of breaking news (時事英文) with high frequency collocations and audio recordings. This will provide students with the input of not only individual words, but how to use them in output (speech and writing) with context. While all these news posts might seem independent at first, I will eventually link and organize them by theme when there are enough posts. Along with my news class, these extra posts will help students stay aware of current events, acquire set phrases used in journalism, and develop critical thinking. These posts can currently be found under the hashtag EEL時事英文.
最後,我們會跟進精簡版的「時事英文」,其中包含高頻搭配詞與錄音資料。這些內容不僅可以提供你們輸入單字,而且可以幫助你們知道如何搭配情境輸出,再將這些內容使用在口說與寫作中。這些貼文一開始雖然看似獨立,當素材足夠後我會再將他們進行連結與整理。這些貼文和我的新聞課程將幫助學生維持對時事的敏銳度,掌握新聞中使用的固定用法,並養成批判性思維。這些貼文目前可以在 # EEL時事英文。

在托福和雅思講話速度是高分關鍵嗎?
實際上,言語表達的速度是托福評分委員第一個會去注意的重點。
同學們可以運用老師的示範例題來精進自己答題的速度和流暢性:
TOEFL Sample Answers with Script: https://goo.gl/FRqqUs
留意示範的速度,但是自己在唸的時候不用一開始就刻意讓自己講得很快。記得你現在是在學習的階段,在過程中讓自己的速度接近最佳速率即可! 連結中的講稿也會協助各位同學習得一些有用的詞彙跟片語,這樣往後在應答的時候就可以減少自己思索詞彙的時間 ,這才是達到高分的關鍵!
詳細說明:
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
在托福考試中口說的部分,各位考生會被以3項評核標準來給予評分:
(1.) Delivery 表達
(2.) Language Use 語言使用
(3.) Topic Development 話題發展
今天,就要帶著大家一起來鑽研托福口說「Delivery 表達」,而這個環節又牽涉到流暢性 (fluency)、發音 (pronunciation)、聲調 (intonation) 、和可理解度 (intelligibility) 。這些評分標準在雅思公開評分表也有出現!
☆☆☆☆ Fluency ☆☆☆☆
流暢性(fluency)常會同時主觀地和規則化地依照考生當下論述的速度來做評估,而在考 試過程中,考生比較常犯的錯會是: 中間有太多不必要的停頓 (unnecessary pauses)、 錯誤的開場白 (e.g. She...er, "he" was late)、錯誤地把某些音節的念法加長 (lengthened syllables)、不斷重覆之前提過的語句和反覆使用相同的單字片語 (retraces and repetition)。
托福考官究竟是如何去判定一位考生口語流暢度的好壞呢? 根據托福考試的相關研究顯示 ,考官最常以同學們說話的速度 (speech rate)、猶豫的頻率(hesitations)、是否不斷一 直重複語句以及反覆修補答題內容 (repetition and repair) 這幾個項目給予評分。根據ETS的統計,應答速率最好每秒鐘大約涵蓋4個音節(例如:在一秒內說完I’m speaking fast這個句子),而一般母語人士的平均速度大約是每秒鐘涵蓋5個音節左右(例如:在一秒 內說完I'm speaking quickly這個句子),所以若以此來做區分,一般程度較高的考生, 他們的平均速度大概會落在每秒鐘說4.4個音節,而中等程度的其他考生會是每秒鐘說3.3 個音節左右的速度。

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
所以現在問題來了,是只要口語表達的速度越快,就絕對會幫你取得高分嗎? 當然不是,不要忘記前面所提到的 (2.) 語言應用能力和 (3.)主題內容延伸這兩個項目耶是會被列入口語測驗的整體表現評核喔!然而,同學們還是要瞭解,運用適中的速度作答其實對各位在 Delivery 這個向度取得高分是絕對必要的。
同學們常常會誤以為托福的口說測驗,只要放慢速度作答就OK,而放慢速度乍看之下是直覺上可行的一個做法,因為如果將回答的速度放慢,相對地也會給考生更多的時間去思考並減少語法上可能犯的錯誤,但是在這邊必須告訴各位同學,這樣是沒辦法幫各位取得高分的。
因為一旦放慢了講話的速度,其實第一時間就影響了你應答的流暢性了。所以,同學們在平常準備時是否就應該講得快一些呢? 在這邊要提醒,同學們要懂得去區分語言學習以及考試評分之間的差別,初學者理當在剛開始沒辦法講得太快,因為他們還需要時間去回想可以用的一些詞彙和該詞彙的正確發音,但是在實際參加考試的時候,言語表達的速度絕對是評分的其中一個指標,評分者不會去特別顧慮你是不是初學者,這一點同學們一定要知道,而實際上,言語表達的速度也是評分委員第一個會去注意的重點。
再者,大部分的同學所面臨的問題,其實並不是作答的時候講得太快,從而需要放慢速度來減少語法上的錯誤。考生們實際缺乏的是足夠的字彙量和正確的語法知識背景,因而無法表達自己的想法,也因為這樣就迫使考生們在答題過程中必須停下來去思索一些自己平常不太會用的詞彙或片語。不幸的是,由於本身對於一些基本詞彙和表達方式的不熟悉, 就會導致在應答的時候犯了很多詞彙跟語法應用上的錯誤,在這過程中,也會伴隨著前述 的: 不間斷地停頓、錯誤的開場白、一直猶豫不決、錯誤地把某些音節的念法加長、不斷 重覆之前提過的語句、反覆使用相同的單字片語,而這些缺失狀況都是拉低各位同學的分數的關鍵。

☆☆☆☆ Pronunciation ☆☆☆☆
正確地發音是托福考試評核考生們言語表達成熟度的第二項指標,而這個標準指的是每一個音是如何被發出和聽者所感知到的每個音的發音情況,雖然托福考試並沒有預期同學們在應答時要聽起來像是母語人士,但是同學們的發音和咬字還是必須要讓母語人士能夠輕鬆地聽懂,這樣才能夠取得高分。

☆☆☆☆ Intonation ☆☆☆☆
精準的聲調應用是托福考試評核同學們言語表達成熟度的第三項指標,而這部分的評核又 超越音段的層級,這是甚麼意思呢?其實一般母語人士時常會就句子中某些帶有新訊息之 詞彙 (content words) 的重音節加重音調,而實際上,其他非英語系國家的第二語言學 習者也被發現到一件事,就是他們在英文發音上的音域和延展性其實又更窄而且受到更多 限制 (narrower or more compressed pitch range),當然,這邊又要再提一次,托福考試並沒有預期同學們在應答時要聽起來像是母語人士,但是他們還是會去注意你有沒有正確地加重音調。

☆☆☆☆ Intelligibility ☆☆☆☆
表達(Delivery)的最後一項評核標準就是你所應答的內容,其本身易於被聽眾所理解的程度 (intelligibility)。廣義來說就是任何一位聆聽者為了充分了解你所論述的資訊跟重 點,他所需付出的“努力程度” (degree of listener effort that was required to understand the speaker)。今天如果你言辭表達的可理解性越高,聆聽者當然就越能夠 輕鬆領會你的意思。那要如何檢測自己言辭表達理解性的高低呢?同學們只要找一位具合 格、稱職的老師,幫你就一位母語人士的觀點來了解聽者需要花多少時間或心力來徹底理 解你實際所想要表達的意思。
Delivery 評核的相關討論到此為止,以上所分享的所有資訊並非是要分散同學們自然地學習或練習英文的注意力,而主要是想藉機跟同學們分享評分委員在 口語測驗中針對每一位 考生言語表達成熟度進行評分的思維和重點是什麼而已,其他像是 Language Use (語言使用) 和 Topic Development (話題發展) 延伸等層面,將來也會進行類似的討論分享給大 家。希望各位同學還是要持續努力準備考試,也祝福各位考生如願達成高分!

current pronunciation 在 Japanese Calligrapher Takumi Youtube 的評價
How to write Kimigayo with gold brush | His Imperial Majesty's Reign | The national anthem of Japan
"Kimigayo" (君が代, Japanese pronunciation: [kimiɡajo]; "His Imperial Majesty's Reign") is the national anthem of Japan. The lyrics of "Kimigayo" are probably the oldest among the world's national anthems, and with a length of 32 characters, they are also the world's shortest. The lyrics are from a waka poem written by an unnamed author in the Heian period (794–1185), and the current melody was chosen in 1880, replacing an unpopular melody composed by John William Fenton eleven years earlier. Its length of 11 measures is currently among the world's shortest. While the title "Kimigayo" is usually translated as "His Imperial Majesty's Reign", no official translation of the title or lyrics has been established in law.
From 1888 to 1945, "Kimigayo" served as the national anthem of the Empire of Japan. When the Empire was dissolved following its surrender at the end of World War II, the State of Japan succeeded it in 1945. This successor state was a parliamentary democracy, and the polity therefore changed from a system based on imperial sovereignty to one based on popular sovereignty. However, the U.S. occupation forces allowed Emperor Hirohito to retain the throne and "Kimigayo" remained the de facto national anthem. The passage of the Act on National Flag and Anthem in 1999 recognized it as the official national and imperial anthem.
