Mastering Pronunciation 8 Shadowing

Shadowing is one of the easiest ways to work on pronunciation. Make sure you do it right and that you have fun!

Introduction

Do you already do shadowing? How do you do it? Tell your teacher.

Warm Up

Let's go back to our target from lesson 1. This is to check how well you monitor both yourself and your source. Listen to your teacher, repeat and give yourself a score. Focus on copying your teacher exactly.

Language

Let's look at three levels of shadowing:

  1. words; 
  2. chunks; & 
  3. sentences.

We will use this short of Barack Obama speaking to the UN about climate change. Follow your teacher's instructions.
