Investigating the effectiveness of shadowing in enhancing engineering students’ pronunciation

This study investigates the use of shadowing as a teaching strategy to enhance engineering students' pronunciation at a science and technology university in Hanoi. It employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating insights from participant interviews with numerical data from pronunciation tests administered before and after the intervention. The findings revealed an improvement in students' pronunciation, highlighting the effectiveness of shadowing as a technique for enhancing phonemic awareness and self-confidence. By illustrating how shadowing boosts motivation and engagement in language learning and skill acquisition, this paper contributes to the advancement of language education.
