Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Digital Shadowing technique in enhancing university students’ pronunciation at State Islamic University of Jurai Siwo Lampung. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. The population consisted of 31 third-semester students of the English Education Study Program in the 2025/2026 academic year. All students were taken as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Class A (15 students) was assigned as the experimental group and Class B (16 students) as the control group.

The research instrument was a pronunciation test administered as a pre-test and post-test. The experimental class received treatment using the Digital Shadowing technique, while the control class was taught using conventional methods. The mean score of the experimental group increased from 67.00 in the pre-test to 77.50 in the post-test.

The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. The results of the Shapiro- Wilk normality test and Levene’s homogeneity test show that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous (Sig. > 0.05). The Independent Samples t- test reveals that the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000, which was lower than 0.05. The findings indicate that the Digital Shadowing technique had a positive and significant effect on students’ pronunciation. Therefore, it can be concluded that this technique is effective in improving students’ pronunciation ability.
