The Role Of Literary Texts In Acquiring Community Tone: An Applied Study Using The Shadowing Technique To Develop Arabic Speaking Skills Among Language Learners.



Authors : Boulaares Djemai .

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating literary texts with the shadowing technique to help advanced Arabic learners acquire an authentic community tone, a crucial element for nuanced communication. The research seeks to enhance learners' comprehension of genuine speech patterns by utilising culturally rich literary texts. Conducted with 40 students in the Arabic Proficiency Diploma program at the Language Preparation Department, College of Languages, King Saud University, the study employs an experimental design with two groups: an experimental group trained using shadowing techniques on literary passages and a control group following traditional teaching methods. Learners’ progress is assessed through audio recordings, questionnaires, and interviews, with data analysed using SPSS and NVivo. Results show that the shadowing technique significantly boosts learners' fluency, rhythm, and ability to replicate community tone, fostering culturally sensitive and confident communication. The study underscores the benefits of incorporating literary texts and shadowing techniques into language curricula to create a more immersive learning experience.
