“…Though listening is becoming one of significant contributors, it is still considered difficult indicated by achievement of those components [7]. In reality language learners find difficulties to express ideas in spoken language [3]. This occurs on linguistics knowledge (such as phonemes, words, grammatical structures, pronunciation, and accent) and non-linguistics knowledge (such as topic and main idea, general knowledge about the world) makes listening difficult for the students [8].…”

The ability in oral communication is one of the goals in ELT in university levels. However, lack of models and practices become considerable factors of why students sometimes find it so difficult. This study attempts to improve students' oral performance in terms of fluency, pronunciation, and accuracy. It employed a Classroom Action Research conducted through two cycles. 20 first-year students of Elementary School Teacher Education of UNIMMA, Indonesia were assigned as participants. A shadowing technique supported by daily listening logs was carried out within 6-week practices. Oral test was taken to assess their oral performance. As attempt to find out their improvement in details, journals in form of daily recordings were investigated as well. Then data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative approach. Findings show there was an increase of mean scores from pre-cycle (62.7), cycle I (68.9), to cycle II (73.25). The activity logs contributed to this improvement as well. It was highlighted from the average scores of their daily activity logs. Hence, shadowing technique enhanced oral performance when assisted with listening logs. The results could be adapted by educators or parents when they attempt to improve their students speaking skills using shadowing technique.

“…They revealed there was a recognizable improvement in their subjects' pronunciation and rhythm. Similarly, Yavari and Shafiee (2019) have proven that mastery in listening is the bridge to master other skills like speaking. They found out that students' abilities improved after continuously being exposed to the strategy.…”

Language learning demands the learners to provide themselves with basic language skills. One of the skills is listening. One aspect of listening skills is word recognition. Related to that issue, the objective of this research was to find out the significant effect of shadowing technique on students' listening in word recognition. This study followed the Experimental research method. The researcher took SMP Muhammadiyah 02 Pahlawan, Medan, A.Y 2019/2020 as the study location. The population of this research was the eighth-grade students. Since there were only two classes in the eighth grade, this study took the population as the sample. The researcher used one class as the experimental group and the other class as the control group. Each class consisted of 30 students. The instruments of the data collection were listening tests. The researchers administrated the tests as the pre-test and post-test to both experimental and control groups. Based on the data analysis, the result shows that applying the shadowing technique influences students' listening ability in word recognition, which was proven by the result of the t-test. The t-score was higher than t-cv (5.2915 > 2.024), = 0.05, at df = 28. In other words, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected; the effect of shadowing technique on the students' listening in word recognition was 63.80% and 36.20% from the other factors.
