생생영어 (68) - Long story short. 긴 걸 짧게 말하면.


68번째 표현은 "Long story short 짧게 말하면" 이다.  


문법적으로 정확히 말하면 "To make a long story short" 라고 쓸 수 있지만 구어적으로는 짧게 "Long story short" 라고 말한다. 아래 사전 정의에서도 이 짧은 표현을 사용한 것을 볼 수 있다.  Long story short, 이 말을 들으면, "긴 이야기인데 짧게 핵심만 말해줄게" 라는 뜻을 받게되어 분위기 전환이 되고 말하는 사람에게 집중하게 된다. 





<사전적 정의:  출처: 캠브리지 사전,   번역: 저자>


long story short  짧게 말하면
 
used when you do not tell all the details:

모든 자세한 내용을 안 말할 때 쓰는 표현

Long story short, I got fired.

긴 이야기를 짧게 말하자면, 나 해고됐어.



일상이나 직장에서 결론을 짧고 정확하게 말하고 싶을 때 "Long story short, this is my point. 긴 이야기를 짧게 말할게요, 내 결론은 이겁니다" 라고 말하면서 시작해 보면 어떨까?


감사합니다.

보이스 쓰레드 작성법 - How to Create VoiceThread

이 포스팅은 보이스 쓰레드(VoiceThread) 사용법에 관한 것입니다. 보이스 쓰레드는 클라우드 테크놀로지 사이트로써 사용자들이 목소리를 편리하게 녹음하고, 편집하고, 공유할 수 있습니다. 언어 교육에 관하여 선생님들은 이 사이트를 통해 보다 효율적이고 효과적인 말하기 평가를 수행할 수 있을 것입니다. 또한 보이스 쓰레드는 말하기 평가의 구성타당도 측면에서, 브라운(2010)이 역설한 다섯 가지 말하기 평가요소 (imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive speaking)를 모두 평가하는 데 적합한 애플리케이션이 될 것입니다. 자세한 사용법은 아래에 기술된 절차를 참고하시기 바랍니다. This posting is about how to create a voicethread project at voicethread.com. VoiceThread is a cloud-based technology that helps users to create, edit, and share voices. My suggestion for language educators is that teachers can use this application as an speaking assessment tool. With regard to construct-validity of language assessment (Brown, 2010), the scopes of speaking proficiency that VoiceThread can be used for are imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive speaking (Brown). Details will be followed. *Reference Brown, H.D. & Abeywickrama, P. (2010). Language assessment: Princi...

Jazz Chants - Stimulating Musical Intelligence

-
Image
         Jazz Chants, invented by Carolyn Graham, is a pedagogical method using rhythms and beats to effectively teach English. For example, you can put the line "Have a good weekend. Thanks, you too" in four beats (find the moment of 3:12 at the Youtube video linked below). According to Patricia et al. (2010), Jazz Chants expose students to natural intonation patterns, idiomatic expression, and common rituals of everyday life. Also, it can make students engaged in sound of the target language in fun, authentic, and effective ways because it stimulates not only verbal-lingual intelligence but also musical one as well. Wanna know more about the method? Please click the link below. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_nPUuPryCs Jazz Chants

3 Must-Know Sites for Teachers: Edmodo, iCivics, & National Geographic Kids

             This posting introduces three web sites that teachers should know and use in order to carry out effective and efficient learning: Edmodo, iCivics, and National Geographic Kids. (1) Edmodo ( https://www.edmodo.com/ ) Edmodo is a classroom management site that offers teachers ways to create groups in which teachers can invite students, post discussion topics, upload assignments, implement polls, and post alerts. These features can enable teachers and students to form an effective learning community. On top of these in-class managing services, Edmodo has various interests groups in which teachers are encouraged to share ideas, resources, and materials via communicating with other teachers. For example, I am a member of an interest group called "Language Arts," which means all of the messages the group members post are automatically alerted to me. In order to effectively manage classes and share critical ideas, teachers should know and u...
