Abstract


This research aimed to determine whether the shadowing technique had a significant impact on students' pronunciation mastery of fricative consonants in tenth grade at MA Mu’allimien Muhammadiyah Bogor. The researcher employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental methodology in this study. The sample size was determined using 125 students from tenths grade at MA Mu’allimien Muhammadiyah Bogor. The study included 25 students each from two classes: an experimental class and a control class, selected through cluster sampling. The t-test value (2.580) was found to be higher than the t-table value (2.020), supporting the hypothesis. This indicates that the shadowing technique significantly influenced the students' pronunciation mastery of fricative consonants at MA Mu’allimien Muhammadiyah Bogor. The primary audience for this study includes educators, who can use it as a reference when teaching English pronunciation, particularly in improving the pronunciation of fricative consonants through shadowing. Through this learning technique, students can enhance their pronunciation skills, as well as their overall language proficiency. Future research could further explore the long-term effects of shadowing technique on various aspects of language learning.
