Authors : Boulaares Djemai .

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Shadowing technique in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, focusing on its impact on listening and speaking skills. It addresses challenges in Arabic language acquisition and presents Shadowing as a solution. The research defines Shadowing, discusses its theoretical foundations, and highlights gaps in the existing literature that necessitate further research. An experimental design is used to evaluate the technique's impact on Arabic learners, with data analysed through quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings offer practical recommendations for educators, support integrating Shadowing with other teaching methodologies, identify implementation challenges, and propose strategies to address these challenges.
