Ted summary and Reflection

THREE WAYS TO LEARN ENGLISH

By Jamila Lyscott

 Summarized By : Najmiatul Fauza

Hello everyone...

I would love to post the summary and reflection from Jamila Lyiscott, her speech is very hard to be understood, because she speak very differently... I am sorry if the summary is not really understandable.

Jamila lynscout is an articulated person., which means she can speak three language based on the condition and situation.  She said that when it comes to enunciation and diction, she didn’t even think of it. Moreover, when her professor asked her a question and her answer was tainted with a connotation of urbanized suggestion there’s no miss directed intention because she was articulated. she said that who control articulation?.  The English language is a multifaceted oration subject to indefinite transformation. She also told about her experience when her professor(perhaps he was a British ) came to her block and said ”Hello” then she stopped him and said no” your being in articulate the proper way to say is what’s good”. She also told that even their language has rules. For example when her mommy said ”ya’ll be mad going to the store” then she corrected her mom about the language didn’t follow the law because the word mad never go before a present participle.  

After that, she told that she may not always speak in front of the audience with excellency of speech. She can speak three tongues one for each : home, school and friends. She is a tri- lingual orator, sometimes she is consistent and inconsistent  with her language now. She also ask the audiences to be no confusion, hesitation but this also not a promotion of the ignorance. This is a linguistic celebration.

Before she ended her speech, she told the story about her last job application she put tri-lingual person. She can help to diversify the market consumer by saying: what’s good, whatagwan and of course   hello.

After listening to ms Jamila’s speech I come to the conclusion that “articulate “ here is kind of using a proper language based on the group that you are talking to. For instance, you are talking to a British man you have to say” hello” on the contrary to the American teenager you can say” what’s up bro. Being a tri lingual person is an interesting ability, because not all people have this capability. Sometimes, for non native speakers is very hard to understand broken English because they learn formal English. So that’s all for this section....
