Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondĂ©e sur la science, dĂ©veloppĂ©e Ă  l'origine pour la formation des interprĂštes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous Ă©coutez de l'anglais natif et le rĂ©pĂ©tez immĂ©diatement Ă  voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un dĂ©calage de 1 Ă  2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amĂ©lioration significative de la prĂ©cision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la comprĂ©hension orale et de la fluiditĂ©.
