Abstract

Listening is one of the key receptive skills, essential for capturing the meaning of spoken language. Developing listening skills requires frequent practice with English language inputs. Various accessible media, such as YouTube videos and podcasts, provide valuable resources for enhancing these skills. However, while media play an important role, teaching methods and techniques are equally critical to success. Many S1 Language Education students still struggle to meet the expected standards in listening proficiency. A pre-survey conducted by the researcher, involving a pre-test on students' listening skills, revealed results that were below the expected benchmark. Given this, the Shadowing Technique was introduced to help improve students' listening abilities. This study aims to examine whether there is a significant improvement in students' listening skills after being taught using the Shadowing Technique, which is supported by technology-based learning media like YouTube and podcasts.The research employed a pre-experimental quantitative method, using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 27 second-semester students from the English Education Study Program at FKIP, University of Lampung, who were enrolled in advanced listening courses. The findings revealed a notable improvement in students' listening skills after using the Shadowing Technique. This study highlights the challenges students face in improving their listening skills, especially the difficulty in understanding spoken English due to limited exposure and practice. Additionally, it suggests that incorporating technology-based media alongside effective teaching techniques can lead to significant improvements in listening proficiency. Specific indicators of improvement include increased comprehension accuracy and enhanced ability to follow and replicate spoken English. These findings offer valuable insights into the potential of shadowing in language learning.Keywords: Listening. Shadowing Techniques, Technology-Based Learning Media, Education

Abstract

One of the receptive skills is listening, which involves understanding the speaker's uttered words. The frequency with which learners practice hearing English language expressions has an impact on their listening abilities. One benefit is the abundance of resources available for use in teaching listening, such as easily accessible podcasts and YouTube videos. But teaching strategies and tactics are just as vital as the media, which is one of the key elements for listening skills. It is well recognized that S1 Language Education students’ listening skills still require development. The researcher administered listening practice which is called shadowing technique in which the students have to practice listening from the podcast, Youtube video and conversations. Then, they are assigned to repeat after the speakers’ utterance. The researchers conducted a pre-test of listening abilities before the listening class in order to conduct a pre-survey, but the outcomes were still far from the perfections. Their listening’s’ skill need to be improved. It is believed that by employing the Shadowing Technique, students' proficiency will grow. Thus, the goal of this study is to know the students’ perceptions on the use of shadowing technique in listening class of English Education students of FKIP University of Lampung. The research uses quantitative method with questionnaire as the instrument of the study. The sample of this study is S1 students of the English Education Study Program, FKIP University of Lampung, consisting of 27 of 2th semester students who take pre-intermediate listening course. The shadowing technique using YouTube videos and podcasts is expected to improve students' listening skills. The results have produced some interesting finding.
