This study examined the influence of the Shadowing technique, which employed Voice of America (VOA) special English as a modern media in teaching and learning process.

An analysis of the results of the pre-test and post-test scores was performed using a non-parametric test, namely the Man-Whitney U form. The results of this analysis revealed that the experimental group had significantly improved their speaking abilities. The implementation of the Shadowing technique can be a highly supportive method for improving students' pronunciation skills when used with VOA Learning English as a modern media, providing educators with valuable material to enhance language proficiency. Consequently, adopting this approach could lead to significant advancements in the teaching and learning of speaking skills.
