Shadowing technique to improve TNUT students’ listening and speaking skills

Abstract

Listening and speaking are challenging skills for non-English-major students in EFL contexts with limited exposure to authentic input. Shadowing, which combines listening and immediate oral imitation, has been recognized for its potential to develop phonological processing, automaticity, and fluency; however, long-term classroom-based evidence remains limited.

This study examines the effectiveness of shadowing in improving listening and speaking skills among second-year students at Thai Nguyen University of Technology. Using a 15-week quasi-experimental design with an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30), students’ progress was measured through a pre-test, two mid-term tests, and a post-test. Results show that the experimental group made significantly greater gains in both listening and speaking. The findings support the pedagogical value of shadowing and its integration into tertiary English instruction.
