Abstract

Faridah, Marcelinda Dhurotul. Student Registered Number. 1860203221004. 2026. The Effectiveness of Shadowing Technique on Students’ Pronunciation at SMPN 1 Ngunut Tulungagung. Thesis. English Education Department. Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training. State Islamic University of Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung. Advisor: Dr. Arina Shofiya, M.Pd., Keywords: Pronunciation, Shadowing technique. An essential component of speaking skills is represented by pronunciation, yet accurate sounds, stress and intonation are still produced with difficulty by many students due to limited exposure to native speaker models and lack of effective practice. A similar problem was also identified at SMPN 1 Ngunut Tulungagung. Students often relied on their first language when speaking English, which can have an impact on the way they use the language. This study examined the effectiveness of the shadowing technique in enhancing students' pronunciation skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental class and a control class. The experimental class was taught using authentic materials, such as TED Talks videos, and the shadowing technique, while the control class was taught using conventional methods, including read-aloud activities, peer assessment and teacher correction. A total of 72 students participated in the study, with 36 in each class. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests to measure students’ pronunciation ability. The results of the study showed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. The mean score of the experimental class increased significantly, reaching 82.33 in the post-test, whereas the control class only achieved a mean score of 60.44. The result of the independent samples t-test showed that the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000, which is less than 0.05. This indicates that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that shadowing is effective technique for improving students’ pronunciation.
