Abstract

Latifah, 2025: Shadowing Method Effectiveness in Enhancing Listening Skills
Among Seventh Grade Students at MTsN 7 Jember
Key Words: Shadowing Method, Listening Skills
Listening is an essential skill in English learning. Humans struggle with it,
so to solve this problem, the researcher applied the Shadowing Method. In this
method, students listen to the spoken texts and immediately repeat them, which
actively trains their pronunciation, vocabulary recognition and listening
comprehension. The research question of this research is “Is there any significant
effect of using Shadowing Method in enhancing listening skills among of seventh
grade students at MTsN 7 Jember?”. The research objective is to measure the
effectiveness of the Shadowing Method in enhancing the listening skills of
seventh-grade students at MTsN 7 Jember.
This research used a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental
Design. The participants were two purposive sampling selected classes: VII A as
the experimental group and VII B as the control group, each with 21 students. The
researcher collected data through observation, pre-test, and post-test. The
experimental class practiced listening through the Shadowing Method, while the
control class learned with conventional method.
The researcher analyzed the data using SPSS version 27 with descriptive
statistics, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test. The results showed
that the experimental class improved from a mean pre-test score of 69.05 to a
post-test score of 78.33, while the control class improved from 64.05 to 72.85.
The statistical test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, which
means the alternative hypothesis was accepted. The study concludes that the
Shadowing Method gave a significant effect on the listening skills of seventhgrade students at MTsN 7 Jember.
The findings indicate that both groups improved in listening skills, the
experimental class taught with the Shadowing Method achieved more significant
and consistent progress than the control class. This is supported by the
Independent Sample T-Test result (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05), confirming a substantial
difference between the groups. Therefore, the Shadowing Method gives a
significant effect on the listening skills of seventh-grade students at MTsN 7
Jember.
