مجموعه English as a Second Language Podcast یکی از بهترین مجموعه
های آموزش زبان انگلیسی در سراسر جهان به شمار میرود و شما با استفاده از آن به
آسانی می توانید زبان انگیسی را فرا بگیرید. این پکیج توسط یک تیم انگلیسی متشکل از
اساتید با تجربه و حرفه ای ساخته شده که از جمله این اساتید میتوان به دکتر Tse دارای
مدرکPh.D.i در زبان شناسی و همچنین آموزش زبان انگلیسی در دانشگاه های
Southern California, Loyola Marymount, Arizona, California, Los Angele اشاره
نمود. همچنین دکتر McQuillan یکی دیگر از اساتید معروف این تیم می باشد که دارای
مدرکPh.D.i در زبان شناسی و همچنین آموزش زبان انگلیسی در دانشگاه های
California, Fullerton, Arizona. هر دو این اساتید از پژوهشگران ارشد در مرکز مطالعات و
توسعه آموزش زبان انگلیسی هستند. سازنده گان این مجموعه آموزش زبان بر این باورند
که سریعترین راه آموزش زبان گوش دادن به صحبت ها و مکالمات و همچنین بحث هایی
است که بین افراد انجام می شود. اکثر مردم برای یادگیری زبان انگلیسی از مکالمه ها و
همچنین کتاب های بسیار دشوار استفاده می کنند که تنها حدود ۴۰ تا ۵۰ درصد مفهوم
آنها را درک می کنند و این به معنای به هدر رفتن نیمی از وقت شماست. اما در ESL
شما به صورت آهسته و مرحله به مرحله میتوانید با لغات و جملات و به طورکلی مکالمات
عامیانه و پرکاربردی که در هنگام صحبت کردن به آنها نیاز دارید آشنا می شوید و همچنین
در رابطه با معنی و کاربرد هر جمله توضیحاتی داده می شود تا با کاربرد آن در محل های
مختلف آشنا شوید.
هر پادکست شامل دو بخش مهم است. بعد از یک معرفی کوتاه به بخش اول می رسیم.
این بخش شامل بحث یا گفتگویی در مورد موضوع مورد نظر است که بین 3 تا 6 دقیقه طول
می کشد. در بخش دوم کلمات و اصطلاحات به کار رفته در بخش اول توضیح داده می
شود. همچنین در این بخش در مورد اینکه چگونه این کلمات و اصطلاحات (چه رسمی و
چه غیر رسمی) ، توسط افراد بومی مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد، توضیح داده می
شود. لغاتی که در این پادکست فرا خواهید گرفت در قسمت پایین آمده است.
