An Empirical Study of Shadowing in College English Listening Teaching

Abstract

Shadowing is one of the main means of simultaneous interpreting practice, and many studies have combined it with English listening teaching. This paper takes first-year students as the research object, studies the students’ cognitive psychology of shadowing by designing a questionnaire, and explores the practicality of the method by comparing the pre and post-test scores. The results show that shadowing plays a positive role in English listening teaching.
