IMPROVING SPEAKING SKILLS THROUGH SHADOWING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Various studies support its positive impact on language acquisition. The methodology section details different shadowing techniques, while the discussion presents experimental findings. The results indicate that consistent practice with shadowing significantly improves oral proficiency.
