This study explores the following two studies about "shadowing" as a method of learning English. The first is the practical study to conduct the most effective shadowing training in English classes in normal classrooms of College of Technology (Kosen) in Japan. First, a low-cost wireless listening system was built. The same sounds can be reproduced from both the front and the back of the classroom at the same time by connecting the CD player with the line-out function to the portable wireless speaker. Furthermore, a low-cost simple LL system was built with wired headphones. The same sound can be heard from 12 wired headphones at the same time with the system. 40-minute shadowing training class was practiced four times targeted for 11 advanced engineering course 1st year students with the wired listening system on July 26th-30th, 2010. The students that took shadowing training significantly improved their listening comprehension ability compared with the students that took TOEIC listening preparation classes (40 minute, four times) on July 27th-31st, 2009. The second is to resolve intracerebral language processing mechanism by measuring changes of bloodstream in brain with NIRS: near-infrared spectroscopy while Japanese native speakers that study English as a foreign language are practicing shadowing, repeating, and oral reading in order to suggest each English learner the most effective method of learning English scientifically. This study is in the process of research and the study plan and the progress are to be reported in this paper.
