Shadowing, an active and highly cognitive language learning technique in which learners a little-known but effective linguistic learning technique in which subjects track heard speech and vocalise it simultaneously, is often misunderstood and resultant inappropriate use renders it ineffective. This book debunks the myths about Shadowing and cements it as a separate technique by providing theoretical and practical instructions on its use. As an effective method to improve learners' bottom-up listening skills, this book will certainly prove useful to English Foreign Language learners and instructors in their linguistic pursuits.
