%T IMPROVING STUDENT?S PRONUNCIATION IN SMAN 1 SEPUTIH
BANYAK?S TENTH GRADE THROUGH SHADOWING READING

TECHNIQUE
%X This study investigates the effectiveness of the shadow reading technique on students'
pronunciation accuracy. The pre-test revealed varied proficiency levels, with some students close
to native benchmarks and others need an improvement by the test using PRAAT software
program. Post-test results showed notable enhancements in both pitch and intensity accuracy
following the treatment. Statistical analysis, including paired sample t-tests and correlations,
revealed a strong positive relationship between pre-treatment and post-treatment scores, with a
correlation coefficient of 0.886 and a significance level of 0.000. The first paired sample t-test
showed a mean difference of 10.83333 (p = 0.000), and the second test showed a mean
difference of 8.40000 (p = 0.000), both indicating statistically significant improvements. These
findings suggest that the shadow reading technique significantly enhances pronunciation
accuracy, supporting its use as an effective method in educational settings.
