WWW.VOCATIC.COM INTRODUCCIN AL CURSO - TUTORIAL

Tu profesor, Rokeby Lynch

Tu problema no es el

mtodo el problema eres t.

Lo primero que voy a decirte, Rookie, es que te olvides de la idea de que el mtodo para aprenderun idioma tiene tanta importancia. Muchos de nuestros estudiantes han hecho un montn decursos, se han suscrito a un montn de pginas webs y han asistido a un montn de escuelas. Suvida lingstica es como la bsqueda del Santo Grial esperando una solucin mgica ya queNINGN MTODO les ha funcionado.

Rookie, voy a ser sincero contigo: tu problema no es el mtodo el problema eres t.

En muchos casos, este problema es la dificultad para realizar proyectos que requieren gestin deltiempo, repeticin, y la capacidad de tolerar el aburrimiento tres cualidades necesarias paraaprender un idioma.

S que normalmente los profesores dicen que aprender un idioma es divertido, pero yo no estoyde acuerdo. Si aprender un idioma fuera divertido, la gente pasara el viernes por la nocheaprendiendo idiomas.

Diferente es hablar un idioma eso si es divertido sin embargo, para aprender a hablar tienes quepasar por los pasos menos interesantes. Estos pasos la gramtica, memorizar palabras, repetirnormas etc son los que impiden a la gente aprender. Como estos pasos no necesitan inteligenciasino algn tipo de resistencia y determinacin, podemos ver que verdaderamente el factor msimportante no es el mtodo es la fortaleza mental del alumno. Por eso decimos en Vocatic quetu camino es ms psicolgico que lingstico es un reto personal.

Para realizar este reto voy a pedirte algo que es en contra de la filosofa de Vocatic: voy a pedirteque dejes de pensar.

Porque?


4/19


Porque yo tengo todo lo que necesitas para que domines el ingls y el nico que puede fastidiarloeres

Cuando lleguemos a algunos temas de este curso como la cultura y el desarrollo personal esperoque pienses mucho espero que t desarrolles tus propias ideas pero cuando nos toquen temasde vocabulario, gramtica y cosas aburridas, djamelo a m y haz lo que te diga! Si si, entiendo quela actitud de la gente hoy en da es a mi nadie me dice lo que tengo que hacer pero es simple:t haz lo que te digo y dominars el idioma si no haces lo que te digo NO VAS A APRENDERNUNCA sers un esclavo eterno de tu lengua materna.

As que, Rookie, tu primera leccin es matricularte con la mentalidad correcta para realizar tu reto.Tienes que dejar de exigir que tus clases sean divertidas y tienes que dejar de pasar tu vidadescargando montones de podcasts, cursos, juegos, mtodos y todo lo que ponga English. Yatenemos en Vocatic los audios, los libros y los profesores que necesitas. En vez de buscar mtodosy escuelas, busca dentro de ti la fuerza mental para seguir este curso hasta el final. Okay, perfecto,nos vemos en la primera clase vocabulario 1a.

Tutorial 2

Tu primera misin

aprende sesenta palabras

en una semana.

Hola, me llamo Rokeby Lynch. Mi padre es de Estados Unidos, mi madre de Irlanda, yo nac en

Inglaterra, vivo en Espaa, y mis hijos van a una escuela catalana y a decir verdad, estoy un poco

confundido sobre la vida. Sin embargo, una cosa sobre la que no estoy confundido para nada es

como aprender un idioma.

Esta certeza proviene de muchos aos de enseanza e investigacin y me ha conducido a entender

algo muy importante y lo quiero compartir contigo en este tutorial: que el factor ms importante

de tu listening, de tu speaking y generalmente de tu habilidad para aprender ingls, es el

vocabulario. Piensa en lo que voy a decir y recuerdalo bien.

Un idioma consiste en palabras y si t no sabes estas palabras no sabes este idioma.

En Vocatic hacemos cursos residenciales que se llaman inmersin bsicamente nos vamos a un

hotel en el campo y comemos demasiado, bebemos demasiado, pero lo ms importante


5/19


hablamos ingls todo el tiempo. El mes pasado fui con unos ejecutivos y una mujer queria aprender

ingles americano porque tena un cliente de los Estados Unidos y no poda entenderle. Ella me

explico esto en un ingls muy bsico y yo tuve que decirle la verdad. Que su problema no era con

el ingls americano sino con el ingls en general. y punto. Ella no saba las palabras

fundamentales del idioma en el que el cliente le estaba hablando claro. no poda entenderle ni

hablarle. En pocas palabras. Su speaking y listening estaban inhabilitados por una falta de

vocabulario.

Esto suena obvio pero es increble cmo la gente gasta su dinero y tiempo en productos complejos

para aprender ingls cuando su problema es muy simple no saben suficientes palabras.

Otra cosa importante es que como el desconocimiento del vocabulario es la fuente de muchos

problemas, un buen vocabulario es la fuente de mucho xito. Yo he visto ao tras ao que los

alumnos que se centran desde el principio en adquirir palabras la base fundamento de un idioma

cogen el resto mucho ms rpido.

As que, quiero que tengas claro tu prioridad es el vocabulario. Si vienes con un nivel bsico,tienes que aprender las mil palabras ms usadas en ingls. Si vienes con un nivel intermedio, tienes

que identificar y cazar despiadadamente las palabras que te faltan de las mil ms usadas.

Tu primera misin Aprende sesenta palabras

Tu primera misin es iniciar una estrategia clara para asimilar el vocabulario y utilizarla paraaprender sesenta palabras en una semana.

Cuando veas que eres capaz de hacer progreso verdadero y medible desde la primera semana (en

este caso aprender 60 palabras) tu motivacin y probabilidad de xito aumentar.

Abajo tienes las primeras 3 unidades del libro de vocabulario, Wordbank (el audio conpronunciacin est en el archivo zip). 60 palabras en 7 das.

Listening Bsico - Harmony: 1b

Its my opinion that education teaches us many things how to read, how to write, and how to work with

numbers. However, the one thing our education system doesnt teach us is how to live. A good example

of something they dont teach you in school that is important for your personal and professional life is

conflict resolution.

Divorce, business problems, fights with friends, problems with bosses, our lives are literally full of conflict

and the way we manage those conflicts is very important for our future. I believe that if everybody learns

the basics of conflict resolution they will be better parents, children, husbands, wives, bosses, workers

and in general better people.

Well, we have approximately three minutes in this podcast, Can I teach you some basic conflict

resolution? Not really, but I will teach you one thing. You must learn to be more flexible in a conflict and

accept that often, many of the things you believe to be true in a conflict are not as true as you think. For

example - many conflicts depend on something that happened or something said, or something agreed

in the past but the two of you remember what you said differently.

It has been scientifically demonstrated that most people including you remember what they want:they edit the facts and take what is convenient to their argument and eliminate the rest. This is

fundamental to conflict resolution because often we are 100% certain that our version of the facts is

correct. If you know anything about anything, however, you know that humans remember subjectively

and that in a conflict you are probably not remembering the whole story.

If you know that and always keep in your mind this important fact about human memory it will help

you to be more flexible and open in a conflict. Okay, my friends, that all all we have time for but

remember life is full of conflict and the same way you must learn to navigate words and numbers at

school, you must learn to navigate life, and conflict resolution is an important part of that. Good bye.

Listening Intermedio - Harmony: 1b

In 1977 John Lennon composed Imagine - his classic song about universal peace and a world without

conflict; and what an appropriate name for the song, because unfortunately a world without conflict can

only exist in the imagination.

Conflict is everywhere, and it has permanent consequences; divorce with its effect on husband, wife

andchildren being the best example. Even if you have a peaceful life, a disagreement can emerge at

any moment at work or in the family, and often, your friendships, marriage and career, depend on how

you manage these disagreements.

So today, lets look at five principles that help both sides in a conflict arrive at a compromise.

Number 1: Be realistic: Most conflicts are not black and white, right and wrong almost always its

grey, with right and wrong on both sides. So stop being a fundamentalist.

Number 2: Be humble (humilde): There have been many times in your life where you were absolutely

convinced you were right. But later you saw you were wrong. Therefore, you can never be certain that

this is not the case in your current conflict. So chill out.

Number 3: Be intelligent: Intelligent people know two scientifically demonstrated phenomena

selective memory, and cognitive distortion. Basically, people remember what they want, and when

looking for evidence they only look at the facts that are convenient, and eliminate the rest. This is

human instinct, therefore you must remember that its impossible you are being truly objective.


17/19


www.vocatic.com

Number 4: Be empathy (empatia): During a conflict you must imagine everything the other person has

passed through; the circumstances, misfortunes and factors that make them feel what they feel. When

you see through their eyes you will be ready to compromise.

Number 5: Be cautious (cauteloso): winning a conflict, whether its a legal action or a schoolboy fight,

does not end there. The greater your apparent victory the more angry an opponent you leave behind

you. Human beings love revenge, and if you have humiliated somebody and left them with nothing you

can guarantee that conflict will return. Always, therefore, make sure both sides leave the fight with

something.

Okay, thats it. so, taking these five principles together, youre now ready to enter a conflict with the

right state of mind, which can be summarised as: calm down, open your mind, and get ready to

compromise.

However, those five points are all about attitude. In the complete Vocatic seminar on conflict we also

look at other aspects: behaviour, for example, and the tone of your voice; logistical aspects such as

never conducting conflicts by e-mail or Wassap; and special cases like toxic people who can never

resolve anything.

For the moment, however, thats all we have time for, and all I will say in conclusion is that whatever

philosophy of conflict resolution you follow make sure you have one. Not having a conflict strategy is

like fighting in the dark, and is as dangerous for you as it is for those who surround you.

Ok, me gustara terminar nuestra clase de hoy pidindoles un aporte a los estudiante. Tu tarea de

escritura esta semana ser visitar nuestra pgina web Vocatic.com o nuestra pgina de Facebook

Queremos que compartas con los dems estudiantes algn consejo que tengas sobre el tema. Bueno ...

muchas gracias y nos vemos la semana que viene.

Listening questions

1 Why is imagine an appropriate name for the song?2 What example does Rokeby give of a conflict with permanent consequences?3 What are the favourite colours of a fundamentalist believer in their own argument?4 There is a scientifically demonstrated phenomenon which shows people only choose certain types

of facts in a conflict. Which facts?

5 Is e-mail a good medium through which to conduct a conflict?

a conflict. To objectify it, speak in third person about yourself. For example Jennys motto is

simple shes always right and shell fight to the death rather than accept the contrary etc etc

2 What were/are the majority of your conflicts about as a teenager with your parents? Can you tell usa specific story? What could both sides have done better to reduce the amount of conflict?

3 Is physical violence justified in the following circumstances: someone verbally insults and humiliatesyou? Someone verbally insults and humiliates your mum? Your best friend sleeps with your

wife/husband/boy/girlfriend?

4 What do you do if someone jumps in front of you in a queue and refuses to move?5 What are the three most common types of argument between spouses and boy/girlfriends?6 Do you think that relationship counselling can work or that once a relationship is dead its dead? Try

and give specific reasons.

7 How is it possible that some conflicts like the Palestinian Israeli problem can go on for so manyyears despite numerous presidents, experts, agreements and interventions? Try to avoid a political

discussion and refer to each state as State A or State B instead of directly naming Israel.

8 Why is it that for all of its history Europe was at war, yet there has been no war in Western Europesince the 1940s? What has caused the elimination of armed conflict?

9 Can you tell us about a serious incidence of conflict in the workplace you have witnessed orexperienced personally? Talk about a previous company if you cannot talk about your current job.

How was the conflict resolved?

10 What are the 5 most annoying things people do on Facebook? Is it possible to have a conflict oversomething on Facebook. Do you agree with Rokebys advice that you shouldnt have conflicts by e-

mail or Wassap? How do you define a toxic person?

Listening answers1 Because according to Rokeby a world without conflict can only be achieved in our imagination.2 Divorce.3 Black and white.4 Convenient ones.
