| Abstract | This article presents a quantitative pilot study that investigates the effectiveness of the use of the shadowing technique in teaching speaking to students studying English as a foreign language. The research participants were in-service EFL teachers or students. Shadowing is an active and highly cognitive activity in which learners track the speech they hear and vocalize it as clearly as possible while simultaneously listening. It also reinforces the phonological coding and their speech perception. Previous studies have shown that the use of the pre-shadowing technique can improve the learner's listening and speaking skills. In this article, the shadowing technique focuses on the correct use of the stress pattern. Using recordings of the participants' speech, it aims to discover whether the use of shadowing techniques both pre-shadowing and post-shadowing improve the students' listening and speaking in terms of stress pattern. The results show that shadowing is an effective activity to improve both speaking and listening skills, as it allows participants to become aware of the importance of stress pattern in speaking through listening and vocalization. |
