| چکیده مقاله |
| This study investigates the effect of shadow listening on the acquisition of English collocations among Iranian EFL learners with an analysis of the potential differences in collocational knowledge between male and female learners. A sample of 80 intermediate learners was selected using a non-probability convenience sampling method and divided into four 20-member groups of male/female control/experimental groups) participants. Initially, a pre-test was administered to assess the learners’ prior knowledge of collocations. The experimental groups engaged in shadow listening—listening to recorded collocations while reading relevant texts—while control group read the texts without this auditory support. Following ten 90-minute instructional sessions, participants completed a post-test to evaluate their knowledge gains. A researcher-developed multiple-choice test containing 40 items served as both the pre- and post-test of the study. Paired and independent samples t-tests were performed to answer the research questions. Findings indicated that shadow listening significantly enhances collocational understanding for both male and female learners, with no notable gender differences identified. These results provide valuable insights for educators, curriculum developers, and textbook authors, highlighting the significance of innovative teaching methods in improving EFL learners’ language skills, particularly in acquiring collocations. |
