Language Classroom Content & Pedagogy Student Reflections on Effectiveness of Shadowing and Listening Practice more

Sun, Nov 14, 12:45-13:45 Asia/Tokyo

This presentation features student comments on surveys after one of three different types of interventions; listening to L1 speakers, shadowing L1 speakers, or shadowing L1 and L2 speakers. We compare the responses to Likert-scale and open questions regarding changes in their confidence in judging English speaking ability (in themselves and others), changes in awareness of phonological features, perceived improvements in speaking ability, and whether the interventions were enjoyable and a good use of class time.
