影子跟读：像原声的影子一样，根据听到的原声做实时的模仿复述。具体操作就是当原声在读第二个或者第三个单词时，开始跟读第一个单词并保持语速，语调，语气，内容一致，是提高英语语音语调的大杀器！

Shadow Reading: This activity uses a text from the course book, and involves listening and pronunciation practice. This task is challenging and motivating and can be used at any level.

Procedure:

1. Teacher reads the text aloud and students follow, marking the text for stress

2. Teacher reads the text a second time and the students mark for linking

3. Individual chunks that show good examples of linking or problematic pronunciation can then be drilled

4. Students practise these aspects of pronunciation by reading the text to themselves before the teacher reads the text aloud again and they listen

5. Then the students read the text with the teacher and they have to start and finish at the same time as the teacher, who reads the text at normal speed

6. This works well after some exposure to the rules of pronunciation - connected speech, stress and intonation.
