【英検1級単熟語EX 第2版】
(ジャパンタイムズ出版 編)
数名の英語講師が各社の単語集の〈カバー率〉を比較検証、
データ公表しています。
一番売れている「例の本」は問1でカバー率は50%にも
遥か満たないので危険です。
詳細データは例えば、
『英検 単語集 カバー率』
でググってください。
ただし、ジャパンタイムズの書籍のダウンロード音声では
日本語訳の読み上げがありません。
理想的には、英単語暗記は音声による刷り込みから始める
べきで、この点が気になる人もいるかもしれません。
私の場合は、
音声からの刷り込みがどうしても出来ないために、
問題になりません。
自分の言語脳の特性を見極めて、
最適アプローチを定めてください。
アプリを学習の中心に据える場合は、
高名な英語講師の多くが
『出た単』
の信頼性の高さを指摘しています。
英検1級問1の語彙問題対策として
強い武器になるでしょう。
いずれにせよ、
中心に据える教材を1個固定してください。
そのうえで、記憶の定着を図る場合や、
暗記した単語をアウトプットに使える
レベルに昇華させる目的でこのシリーズを
活用してください。
多くの生徒さんからのフィードバックを
踏まえて改良を重ねて創り上げています。
今までずっと曖昧だった単語でも、
身体の芯に刻まれる感覚が得れるはずです。
よっしゃ行くぞ!
