Magic English Mind
Performing Magic, Speaking English, and Engaging the Audience’s Minds
「魔英」傳腦:變魔術、說英文,傳達到聽眾大腦

 

修完本課程,你將學習到如何以流利英文進行魔術表演敘事。
此外,學生也會學到近距離、派對、及心靈等不同類型的魔術,能適用於多種場合,諸如人際破冰或活動開場。又,近年說故事成為顯學,如何以故事去包裝主旨並說服他人,變得格外重要,因此,本課程中,學生也將學到如何在說英文的同時,以魔術語言去影響他人的決定。
最終,學生除了英文口語精進、學會魔術技能外,也會因為表演過程中需要用到大量進階專業英文字彙,無形中提升自身單字量。
在新的一學期,讓我們的英文,原神~啟動!
PS. 講師會全程使用「英文」(必要時講師會輔以中文解釋)。

After completing this course, students will learn how to speak English fluently while performing magic tricks. That is, while you are doing magic tricks, you are using English to narrate what you are doing. Sometimes, you also use English to introduce the story behind the magic tricks.
In addition, students will acquire various types of magic skills, including close-up magic, party tricks, and mentalism, suitable for a wide range of occasions such as ice-breaking or event openings. Furthermore, storytelling has become a prominent skill in recent years. It is crucial to package key messages and persuade others through storytelling. Therefore, in this course, students will also learn how to influence others' decisions using the language of magic while speaking English.
By the end of the course, students will not only improve their spoken English and learn magic skills but also expand their vocabulary as they will need to use a wide range of advanced professional English terminology during their performances.
So, let's activate our English skills in the new semester and make some magic happen!
PS. The lecturer will use all-English during the course (explanation in Chinese will be provided when necessary).
