The research was conducted on October 1st to November 26th, 2025 at the TOEFL preparation class of Nursing Department. They were 22 students enrolled the class and all of them were taken as the sample by applying total sampling technique. The treatment was done in eight meetings all together included pre-test and post-test. The experimental research design was employed in getting the data of the research. The data taken by listening test, the test was divided into pre-test and post-test. The data analysis was conducted by using the T-test formula. The result oft-Test was (-7,115) with df 21 and significance 0.000. The significant score of the research 0.148. It was greater than significant level 0.05. It means that the implementation of shadowing techniques significantly improve the students’ listening ability at TOEFL preparation class. Keywords: Shadowing Technique, Listening Ability, TOEFL  \nA. Introduction  \nThe use of TOEFL as one of the requirements in finishing the study at university level has brought challenges to the university in providing the students with the appropriate competences to handle the TOEFL test. One of the effords taken is by giving them TOEFL preparation class.In this class, the students are guided to learn and practice the TOEFL materials and sample test before they are taking the real test. Similarly, the Univesity of Sumatera Barat also provide their students to learn and practice TOEFL in TOEFL preparation class.The class is given to the seventh semester students that consists of theory and practice class with the total meeting of fourteen for theory in the class and eight meeting of practices in the language laboratory.  \nCommonly, TOEFL consists of three parts of the test namely listening, stucture and reading (Brown 2004) . There are 140-160 questions all together; 50 questions for listening, 40 questions of structure and 40-60 questions for reading. The listening part of the TOEFL considered the most difficult part because the time is limited and the materials only can be heard once. So that, most of the language experts said that listening part are considered crucial to be practiced by the students.One of the expert, Buck (2001) states that listening is the most fundamental and important skill to be learned in language classroom and test especially in the TOEFL preparation class.  \nIn order to help the students to cope the listening section of the test, the appropriate technique of practicing and learning are really crucial. The technique is applied to help them in understanding the material and also strategy to answer the questions of the test. In this research, the writers chose to apply shadowing technique to improve students’ ability in listening section of the TOEFL. The listening part is chosen based on the previous assumption that it is the most difficult part in TOEFL test. Schmidt (2016) says that the most difficult skill to be learned is listening. By getting familiar with listening, the students are considered to able to understand another part of the language such as structure and reading. In short, the research question of the research is as the following: Is the implementation of shadowing technique significantly improves students’ listening ability  \n","cbCaigHKdv6B5c5A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigHKdv6B5c5A","pdf",204556,"English","# A.
