Hai Phong, June, 2023 Cao Thi Thanh Huyen i ABSTRACT Most second language learners have difficulty hearing and speaking in the target language. For students at the Hanoi University of Business and Technology, the problem can be serious. Due to poor pronunciation even with basic sounds or words, students have difficulty speaking, speaking and understanding study materials in English. To solve the problem, students need to understand pronunciation about basic elements and target individual sounds.
Therefore, this project was set out to help students pronounce individual sounds in English. Research is formulated as an act using questionnaires, interviews and tests as research tools to collect qualitatively about the “attitudes” of students and teachers and the effectiveness of using shadowing techniques in teaching and learning pronunciation. From qualitative data it can be seen that difficulties, limitations and challenges still occur in the research process; however, to some extent, students” pronunciation is also improved in terms of each sound and each word. Their attitudes and positive results in using this technique to teach and improve students’ pronunciation of individual sounds in the study may suggest the use of the new technique “shadowing” as one of the Effective ways to teach and learn pronunciation in English.

Rationale Nowadays, English is more and more interested, used and considered as a second foreign language. Currently, English-speaking human resources can work at any British company and also in Korea - China - Japan.
Therefore, investing in learning English can be considered a right idea. However, the teaching and learning of English in Vietnam currently still has many limitations: Teaching in large groups of about 20 people or more, differen t language levels, lack of teaching facilities, few textbooks, few opportunities to interact with foreigners. These things greatly hinder skill training; the process of acquiring knowledge of learners and also affects the selection, research and application of appropriate teaching methods of teachers. In fact, for English learners, the first difficulty is pronunciation intonation.
Their pronunciation is usually quite fast and sometimes listeners don't understand what they say. Listeners must pay attention to intonation, stress and intonation in sentences. Therefore, the application of learning methods is important to bring about high efficiency, helping learners to improve difficulties in the learning process. There are many effective methods of learning foreign languages, including the Shadowing method.
Shadowing is one of the most practical and effective methods to improve pronunciation for foreign language learners. This method will help newcomers to learn a foreign language easily get acquainted, practice along and learners can practice the correct pronunciation, intonation, and intonation of the language. Therefore, I chose the topic "Research and application of shading technique to improve pronunciation ability for first-year students at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology" for research. I hope that this thesis will be a source of useful suggestions, contributing to improving some problems in learning English, especially in communication pronunciation.
Objectives of the study The current research is conducted with the hope to: • The first-year students study in the right direction and effectively in the beginner program, spend time studying and practicing every day, improving their pronunciation quickly. • Foreign language learners have a new perspective on foreign language learning through masking. • This essay can also provide the most general knowledge so that readers can refer to and implement the Shadowing method effectively. Research question With the aims stated above, two following questions were proposed for the study: 1.
What are the students‟ attitudes to shadowing? 2. To what extend does the shadowing technique improve the students‟ pronunciation? 4. Research method The study was conducted as case study. A case study is the in-depth, long- term investigation of one or more scientific problems discovered in real life.
Data may be collected using a combination of methods such as interviews, personal observations, and document analysis. The study begins with a review of the literature on various theoretical issues related to pronunciation learning and the use of shadows in language teaching and learning worldwide. After reviewing the literature, to meet the set objectives, the researcher used different tools such as questionnaires, interviews, pre-test and post-test to collect data from students member at HPU. + Interview and ask students to make a questionnaire to find out their attitude towards using shadowing techniques in pronunciation.
All questions in the interview consist of closed and open questions. After collecting data 2 from the interview, the data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. This is to answer research question 1. + Statistical analysis from the previous test and the post test to find out the effect of using shadow technique in learning pronunciation and answering research question.
Research Design The thesis is entitled "A study on the application of shadowing techniques to improve pronunciation competence of freshmen at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology." The study will be designed with three parts: Introduction, Development and Conclusion. The first part, Introduction, is a brief overview of the study with more details on the rationale, objectives, methods, research questions and research scope and design. The second part, Development, consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 is a review of documents presenting the theoretical basis of the thesis.
This chapter includes definitions of key terms: speaking and shadowing. A review of previous studies is also included in this chapter.
