This study aims to analyse the implementation of the shadowing technique in
teaching listening skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in
Indonesia. Using a library research approach, the study reviews and synthesizes
findings from five journal articles published between 2020 and 2024, along with a
primary reference by Hamada (2016) on the shadowing technique. The analysis
reveals that the shadowing technique is effective in improving students' listening
abilities, as evidenced by increased test scores and greater student engagement
during learning activities. The technique also contributes positively to students’
pronunciation, intonation, and confidence in understanding and reproducing spoken
English in real-time. Although challenges such as large class sizes and students’
anxiety about simultaneous repetition were reported, the benefits of the technique
outweigh its limitations. The study recommends that English teachers in Indonesia
consider incorporating the shadowing technique into listening instruction and
encourages further research into its impact on other language skills and integration
into the broader EFL curriculum.
