Abstract
In the modern world, English is an indispensable part of life to provide people with opportunities to communicate globally. Speaking is always a challenging skill that learners want to improve to communicate fluently in English. Therefore, this study was implemented to explore the potential of the shadowing technique that provides learners with the chance to master speaking skill. The study was conducted with the purpose of evaluating the influence of shadowing technique on students’ speaking skill and exploring students’ attitudes towards this technique. The participants included 60 first-year students who were non-English majors from different faculties at Thai Nguyen University of Education. The pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire were employed to collect data for the study. The data were analyzed quantitatively with SPSS and Excel to figure out the outcome of the study. The findings indicate that shadowing technique is an effective learning approach that assists to enhance the students’ speaking skill, and the students have positive attitudes towards this technique. It is suggested that the shadowing technique should be applied in teaching and learning English.
