Authors : Ahmed Chaouki Hoadjli . Raouia Manseur .
Abstract
This study aims at probing the relationship between shadowing and speaking. In this respect, it has been hypothesised that EFL learners can boost their speaking ability if they emulate a particular recorded material. To attain this aim, a mixed-methods approach, particularly its one-group pretest-posttest design, was adopted as a quantitative approach and a quasi-experiment research strategy. The latter was conducted on 16 participants selected purposely from third year students of English in the University of Biskra, as a case study in our research. Additionally, a questionnaire was administred to a sample after the assignment on this experiment. Video recordings had potential value in the data collection and analysis as being a direct record of the issues of all the stages of the experiment. Therefore, the results of t-test paired two-sample for means and those of the questionnaire revealed that shadowing helps EFL learners to improve their speaking skill.
