Abstract

Based on the SPSS results of the oral performance of 40 non-English major college students in an impromptu speech about a given topic, this empirical study focused on the effect of shadowing exercise on improving oral ability for non-English major college students. The shadowing exercise was employed in the experimental group to make students practice repeatedly while the traditional teaching mode focusing on explanation, discussion and some oral practice was employed in the control group. The results indicated that the improvement of fluency in the experimental group was more significant. The shadowing exercise can enhance the oral ability substantially and it can be applied in college English teaching, especially in Viewing-Listening-and-Speaking teaching.
