🕖用新聞學英文｜雙語教學花路米：Study: Multilingual People Learn New Languages Faster 研究：多語人士較快學會新語言

👉Article A study has found that multilingual people find it easier to learn new languages than people who are bilingual. Researchers measured the brain activity of 21 bilingual people and 28 multilingual people as they tried to identify words and sentences in the Kazakh language, which none of them spoke. All participants in the study spoke Japanese as their first language and English as their second. Most of the multilingual participants spoke Spanish as their third language — and some knew up to five languages. The researchers taught the participants the rules of the Kazakh language. They then gave participants four increasingly difficult tests to find out if they could identify words they had learned and make sure they were used correctly in sentences. While participants were taking the tests, researchers measured their brain activity. Participants could take each test repeatedly until they passed it and moved on to the next one. It was found that multilingual participants who were stronger in their second and third languages had to repeat the first test fewer times. And the multilingual group actually got faster at answering as the tests got harder. It was also found that the brain activity of multilingual people was similar to that of bilingual people — but for multilingual people the activity was much faster. Study co-author Kuniyoshi L. Sakai of the University of Tokyo said the results show that multilingual people are better at learning a new language than those who are only bilingual. 👉Summary 有份研究募集雙語人士及多語人學一個他們從來沒學過的語言：哈薩克語。參與研究的所有人母語都是日語，英語是他們的第二語言。大部分的多語參與者會的第三種語言是西班牙語，有些人甚至會高達五種以上的語言。研究人員教導參與者哈薩克語的規則，接著對他們進行測驗，看他們能否辨識剛學會的單字。參與者能重複做測驗，直到他們通過並進行下一份測驗為止。結果發現，多語參與者需要重複做第一份測驗的次數比較少。 且多語族群在測驗難度增加的時候。回答的速度確實也比較快。 👉Words & Phrases multilingual使用多種語言的 measure測量 activity活動  👉References Article: Engoo Daily News (https://engoo.com.tw/app/daily-news/article/study-multilingual-people-learn-new-languages-faster/3RFMbMpkEeuqc7MUk1yM8Q) (https://engoo.com.tw/) ☆若您對本頻道節目有任何疑問或建議，請e-mail 至：[email protected] #每周一、四更新 #收聽無廣告不用APP選教育電台 線上收聽 #進一步學習語言點選教育電台 語言學習頻道 ----- 英語節目主持人：屠潔(Jenny)、Neil ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：世界咖啡館 ----- ----- 🎙教育電臺🎙 📻官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV 🔗粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink 🎧線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE 🎙Channel+精選節目:http://bit.ly/499xCn5 Powered by Firstory Hosting
