The participants are 16 Ecuadorian pre-service teachers who are enrolled in the Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages career at Quevedo State Technical University. The data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed in the light of the grounded theory. The results of the study show that shadowing provides them with a unique opportunity to develop their fluency, pronunciation, and intonation in the target language. Also, the participants considered shadowing to allow for the internalization of linguistic patterns and grammatical structures in a more natural and automatic way. Consequently, this research underscores the significance of discerning students' viewpoints on the instructional strategies employed in the classroom to tailor them appropriately to each specific context. Additional studies remain essential within the Ecuadorian framework to delve into how students' views on educators' teaching techniques impact them, particularly in terms of their emotional responses.  \nKeywords: Shadowing technique; Perspectives; Pre-service teachers; EFL; Ecuador.  \nResumo  \nEste estudo qualitativo teve como objetivo identificar as perspectivas dos alunos sobre o uso da técnica de shadowing para melhorar suas habilidades de fala em inglês durante um semestre. Os participantes são 16 futuros professores equatorianos matriculados no curso de Pedagogia em Línguas Nacionais e Estrangeiras na Universidade Técnica Estadual de Quevedo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário e analisados à luz da teoria fundamentada. Os resultados do estudo indicam que o shadowing oferece uma oportunidade única para desenvolversua fluência, pronúncia e entonação no idioma alvo. Além disso, os participantes consideraram que o shadowing permite a internalização de padrões linguísticos e estruturas gramaticais de maneira mais natural e automática. Consequentemente, esta pesquisa destaca a importância de entender as opiniões dos alunos sobre as estratégias de ensino usadas em sala de aula para adaptá-las adequadamente a cada contexto específico. Estudos adicionais são essenciais no contexto equatoriano para investigar como as visões dos alunos sobre as técnicas de ensino doseducadores os afetam, particularmente em termos de suas respostas emocionais.  \nPalavras-chave: Técnica de Shadowing; Perspectivas; Professores em formação; EFL; Equador.  \nResumen  \nEste estudio cualitativo tuvo como objetivo identificar las perspectivas de los estudiantes sobre el uso de la técnica de sha","cbCaimjDFCzmEjzk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimjDFCzmEjzk","pdf",131161,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and study design\n## Participants and data collection\n## Data analysis approach\n## Findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the study about the shadowing technique?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to identify pre-service teachers' perspectives on using shadowing to improve their English-speaking skills during one semester.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the study data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using grounded theory.\"},{\"question\":\"What benefits of shadowing did participants report?\",\"answer\":\"Participants reported improvements in fluency, pronunciation, and intonation, and they viewed shadowing as enabling more natural, automatic internalization of linguistic patterns and grammar.\"}]","Shadowing technique - Exploring pre-service EFL teachers' perspectives to improve speaking skills | PDF",1790643224,18]
