Audio recordings as a study technique for the exam syllabus

study with audio

One of the things that costs opponents the most is studying the agenda of the oppositions. We want to show you a strategy aimed at facilitating memorization: record the topics on the syllabus to study, work on and memorize them. Next we want to explain how you can do it.

1. To prepare the content that you are going to record, you must first read and underline the topics, identifying the main ideas. You can practice repeating the text by elaborating it in your own words a few times, until you can do it with some fluency, even if you need the support of the written text. Having to perform these tasks will help you focus your attention on the subject, while trying to repeat it will lead you to check what you understand and what you don't. Adapt it to your own way of explaining yourself and it will help you not to depend only on memorization, which we think is important when it comes to learning a fairly long syllabus.

2. When you have it a little elaborated in this way, start recording each of the sections. You can also use an application that allows you to edit different fragments and interrupt the recording whenever you need it. To record a complete song you will need a long time.

3. Once recorded, you can download it to your mobile and listen to the song, both when it is your turn to study it and with a certain periodicity to review the topics studied as you progress.

The first few times it will be a bit strange to listen to you, but you will see how you end up getting used to it. I know critical of your recordings of the agenda and think that you will have to write them in writing, the court will listen to them as you listen to them, so if you are boring, redundant or not very intelligible, perfect and improve.

    Hello:
    A person has contacted me who has asked me to record myself reading about 25 exam topics in English that she would provide me with, but I don't know exactly how much I should charge her, because she is interested only in my diction. I have a degree in Translation and have been an English teacher before.
    Could someone guide me on the prices for the recording of the syllabus? Is it charged per word / hour as in translation? Thank you very much in advance,
    María
