個性豊かなアンカーや記者たちが様々な話題についてレポートしているため、英語を外国語として学んでいる学習者にとってもたいへん興味深いものがありますが、本書はその中から特に日本人英語学習者にとって身近で親しみやすく、アメリカ人の生活や文化を直接反映しているニュースを厳選しました。今シリーズでは特に新型コロナによるパンデミックという厳しい状況の中、人と人との結びつきや多様な価値観の受け入れなど、社会における様々な問題にアメリカ人が日々の生活の中でどのように取り組んできたかについて取り上げています。また、現代日本の社会や事象が扱われている話題も含まれており、日本や日本文化が現在のアメリカ人にどのように受け止められているかを垣間見ることができます。

ミング形式での配信のため、手元の機器には保存することはできませんが、ネットにつながっていればいつでもどこからでも視聴することができます。学習する際には映像をヒントにしながら視聴しその内容を理解することが第１の目標となりますが、その内容を十分理解したあとでニュースの音声に合せて「シャドーイング」を行うことによって、英語の音声面の強化をはかることもめざしています。アンカーやレポーターたちは限られた時間内にできるだけ多くの情報を盛り込もうとしているた
め、１分間に150語から200語程度の速さで話しています。英語を外国語として学んでいる学習者がそれと同じように真似て復唱するのにはかなり無理がありますが、本テキストでは最新の話速変換技術を用いて、生の素材を生かしながらそのスピードを85％程度に遅くした音声や動画も併せて提供しています。ニュースに登場する人々の英語には生の感情がそのまま込められていますので、それをくりかえし練習することによってリスニング力を高めるとともに、英語特有の強弱のリズムやイントネーションをぜひ体感してください。また、各ユニットの最後にはニュースについて、「あなたはどう思いますか？あなたならどうしますか？」というように、話題を自分の立場に置き換えて考える活動が用意されています。多量のインプットに加えてこのように自分の考えをアウトプットすることによって、学習した言語項目を使いながら英語を身につけることができるようになっています。ニュースを理解するだけにとどまらず、様々な話題について自ら考え、それを英語で発信できる本物の英語力をぜひ身につけて下さい。
