| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation aims to analyze the impact of applying a language learning technique called Shadowing through Play HT an AI text-to-speech platform, to improve pronunciation of content and function words in students at Centro Panamericano de Idiomas. The research was conducted with thirteen students from three groups (A1-2, A2+, and B2). An observation, interviews, and a survey were carried out to gather the data required for the research, including the pronunciation skills the students presented before the application of Shadowing, the teachers' experience and perspective towards the technique and students’ performance, and students' opinions regarding the Play HT platform and Shadowing technique in improving pronunciation. The findings revealed that students did not accurately intonate content and function words before the intervention process. However, according to the teachers, after the Shadowing session, students demonstrated a significant improvement in the intonation of content and function words. The investigation concluded that the Shadowing Technique through Play HT can have a significant impact in improving student’s pronunciation skills and that it can be an effective method for teaching English as a second language | |
