The author defines shadowing as splitting a dialogue into utterances separated by about a 5-second pause, then uploading the edited audio to Dropbox so students can see when to listen and repeat. They demonstrate a two-speaker A1 conversation from Ello, noting that the visual cues improve prosody practice through intonation and chunking and make the task gamified and unpredictable for students. The Loom also emphasizes that the timeline and pauses help the teacher assess listening and pronunciation, and that Dropbox makes it easy to move through queued conversation files via an on-screen arrow.
