“…Due to the significant importance of connected speech for listening skills as well as some general challenges regarding teaching and learning pronunciation, there is a need for research on the effective technique to help learners out with improving their pronunciation. In this respect, shadowing has proved to positively affect learners' oralaural skills such as general listening comprehension (Tamai, 1997;Onaha, 2004;Lin, 2009;Chung, 2010;Kato, 2009;Ginting, 2019), bottom-up processing and recognizing words (Hamada, 2016a), different aspects of pronunciation namely unfamiliar accents, intonation, production fluency (Astuti, 2020;Hamada & Suzuki, 2021), rhythm (Okada, 2002;Omar & Umehara, 2010), prosody (Kusumoto, 2015), which accounts for up to 40 % in communication meaning. However, no research has focused on the effects of shadowing on consonant-vowel linking although acquiring this skill is an essential part of foreign language learning and teaching.…”
