程度副詞

So right now, AI can translate almost anything.

所以現在，AI 幾乎什麼都能翻譯。

It can write better emails than anybody else.

情態副詞

It can hold a conversation more confidently than your co workers.

它跟你同事哈拉時，更有自信。

So do we still need to learn any English right now?

所以我們現在還需要學英文嗎？

I'd say yes, because learning English is not only make you more competitive in your workplace, but

我會說需要，因為學英文不只讓你職場更有競爭力，

also it will change how your brain works.

If you want to speak English more fluently right now, you need to pay attention to completely different concept and, and

如果你現在想英文說得更流利，你需要注意一個完全不同的概念，

to know how your brain works different from AI.

還有，要知道你的大腦跟 AI 的運作方式有什麼不同。

The first thing is that you need to know the knowing and the doing gap.

第一件事是，你需要知道「知道」跟「做到」之間的差距。

There is this concept in linguistics called the difference between declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge.

語言學裡有個概念，叫做「陳述性知識」和「程序性知識」的差別。

Sounds a little bit fancy, a little bit difficult, but it's actually super simple.

聽起來有點難，有點複雜，但其實超簡單的。

First, declarative knowledge is stuff, you know, like grammar, rules, vocabulary lists.

首先，陳述性知識就是你知道的東西，像是文法、規則、單字表。

The fact that effect is a noun and effect is a verb, that's knowledge, right?

例如「effect」是名詞、「affect」是動詞，這就是知識，對吧？

You can ace a test on this stuff, but procedural knowledge is stuff you can do.

你可以在這方面考高分，但程序性知識是你「做得到」的事。

It's when someone asks you a question and the right words just come out without any kind of thinking, without you having to think about a grammar or translate in your head.

就是當有人問你問題，對的詞句就會自然說出口，你不用思考文法，也不用在腦袋裡翻譯。

Knowing the rules of swimming is not the same as being able to swim.

知道游泳規則，不等於你真的會游泳。

You know, you can memorize every single stroke technique, but

你知道嗎，你可以把每一個泳姿都記下來，但是

if you've never been in the water, you're gonna sink, right?

如果你從來沒下過水，你就會沉下去，對吧？

And that's exactly what happens with English for so many people.

英文對很多人來說，情況就是這樣。

You, for years, you score well on test, but

你，好幾年來，考試都考得不錯，但是

the moment you need to actually speak in a meeting or conversation, you just freeze.

一到會議或對話需要開口的時候，你就當機了。

Actually, I spent years memorizing vocabulary and grammar, and

其實，我花了好多年的時間背單字和文法，然後

I was good at exams, but I couldn't actually speak.

我考試很厲害，但我真的說不出來。

But the turning point for me was that I started doing English debate and public speaking.

不過對我來說，轉捩點是我開始參加英文辯論和公開演講。

不是因為我學了更多單字，而是

because I was forced to use what I actually knew under pressure.

因為我在壓力下被迫要運用我實際知道的東西。

這就是將「知道」轉化為「做到」。

And by the way, I started stop caring about my accent a long time ago.

還有，我很久以前就已經不在乎我的口音了。

Being able to clearly express what you think, that's what matters.

能夠清楚表達你的想法，這才是重要的。

And second, the smarter way to test, we need test because we need feedback, right?

第二，更聰明的學習方法，我們需要測試，因為我們需要回饋，對吧？

So if the real goal is turning knowing into doing, then shouldn't the way we test English reflect that too?

所以，如果真正的目標是將「知道」轉化為「做到」，那麼我們測試英文的方式不也應該反映這一點嗎？

This is actually why I want to talk about the Duolingo English test.

這也是為什麼我想聊聊 Duolingo 英文測驗。

Because most traditional exams are students still stuck in the knowing era.

因為大部分傳統考試，學生們還是卡在「知道」的階段。

They test what to memorize, like grammar or vocabulary But DET is so different.

他們考的是要背的東西，像是文法或單字，但 DET 卻很不一樣。

It uses AI adaptive technology, which means that questions adjust to your level in real time.

它使用 AI adaptive technology，這表示題目會即時根據你的程度調整。

So it's not just checking your grammar, but it's measuring what you can actually do with English.

所以它不只是檢查你的文法，而是衡量你實際能用英文做些什麼。

If you're really in a rush, there's a 12 hour express scoring option.

如果你真的很趕，還有 12 小時的快速成績選項。

The test experience is so super good, you don't need to book a test center or fight for a spot.

考試體驗超讚，不用預約考場或搶位子。

You take it online from home whenever you're ready.

So for a kind of lazy person like me, this kind of accessibility is Great.

所以像我這種有點懶的人，這種便利性真的很棒。

That's about a third of what traditional language exams cost.

大約是傳統語言考試費用的三分之一。

And over 6,000 institutions worldwide accept it.

而且全球有超過 6,000 個機構認可。

Almost all the US news top 100 universities included.

幾乎涵蓋了美國新聞百大大學。

So you can even try the math test their website for free.

所以你甚至可以免費試考他們網站上的數學測驗。

So that's great to know your level and know what you can do.

所以這樣一來，你就能清楚瞭解自己的程度，知道自己能做到什麼。

They're unlimited and link is in the description.

它們是無限的，連結就在說明欄裡。

Okay, so now you know there's a smarter way to test.

好的，所以現在你知道有更聰明的方法來考試了。

But let me zoom out and show you the full picture because testing is actually just one piece of much bigger shift happening right now.

不過讓我拉遠一點，帶你看看全貌，因為考試其實只是現在正在發生的更大轉變中的一小部分。

So I think of it as a pyramid, four layers.

所以，我把它想像成一個金字塔，有四個層級。

Like I will tell you in this part why we still need to learn English right now and how can we do that with AI or use a kind of pyramid mindset to do better.

在這部分，我會告訴你為什麼我們現在仍然需要學習英文，以及如何透過 AI 來達成，或者運用一種金字塔思維來做得更好。

So just think of it as a pyramid, four different layers.

所以就把它想像成一個金字塔，有四個不同的層級。

And this is why everything we just talked about matters.

這就是為什麼我們剛剛討論的所有事情都很重要。

AI can now give you reading and listening materials that's perfectly matched to your level.

AI 現在可以提供完全符合你程度的閱讀和聽力材料。

There is this concept in linguistics called comprehensible input.

語言學中有一個概念叫做「可理解輸入」。

The idea that you learn best when the material is just slightly above your current level.

意思是當學習材料只比你目前的程度高一點點時，你學得最好。

For children, for adults, AI makes this effortless.

無論是小孩還是大人，AI 都能讓這件事變得毫不費力。

Next layer up, practice AI gives you a 24 second conversation partner.

往上一層，練習 AI 會提供一個 24 小時的對話夥伴。

You can practice speaking, get instant feedback, simulate real scenarios.

你可以練習說話，獲得即時回饋，模擬真實情境。

No scheduling, no awkwardness, no judgment.

不用預約，不用尷尬，沒有評判。

你可以自己一個人練習，也可以。

對啊，我其實是自己一個人練習的。

And third layer, and this is the one AI cannot replace.

再來是第三層，這也是 AI 無法取代的部分。

Debate presentations, job interviews, actual conversations where something is at stake.

像是辯論、面試、有實際利害關係的對話。

This is what we call procedural knowledge.

真的建立起來，而且在最頂端，有證明。

You need a way to show the world what you can actually do.

你需要一個方法向世界展現你實際的能力。

And this is actually where a task like DET fits in.

這也是像 DET 這樣的任務可以派上用場的地方。

Remember the AI adaptive technology I just mentioned?

還記得我剛才提到的 AI adaptive technology 嗎？

That's actually the same comprehensible input principle applied to testing.

這其實就是應用在測試上的可理解輸入原則。

The question leads you where you are and it's not trying to trip you up and use the same same questions for everybody.

這個問題會引導你找到方向，而且不會試圖刁難你，對每個人使用相同的題目。

輸入、練習、實際輸出和證明。

This is the full stack and I call it the pyramid, the learning pyramid for modern English.

這就是我稱之為現代英文學習金字塔的全方位堆疊。

So AI is not going to replace you learning a language, but

所以 AI 不會取代你學習語言，但是

it will make smart learners even stronger like you, right?

它會讓你這種聰明的學習者變得更強，對吧？

所以就是要更聰明地學習、更聰明地上手任務。

By the way, I'm curious if we think about that pyramid, which layer are you on right now and which layer do you think is the most important for English learner or a language learner?

對了，我很好奇，如果我們想想那個金字塔，你現在在哪一層？你認為哪一層對英文學習者或語言學習者最重要？

If you want to go deeper on how to actually practice speaking with AI, I will make a video about that.

如果你想更深入瞭解如何實際透過 AI 練習口說，我會做一支影片來介紹。

這就是這次影片的全部內容了。
