The current study explored the impact of the Shadowing Technique to enhance listening skills. Thus, this descriptive research study revealed the impact on the enhancement of listening skills. In addition, there were the participation of 41 first semester students of the Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y extranjeros de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, which consisted of 34 females and 7 males. Therefore, a survey was carried out to know the knowledge of the students about the Shadowing technique, as well as to know the opinion of each one about whether the technique has an impact on listening skills. In this way, the data were collected through a survey with 10 items on a Likert scale. Finally, the results of the survey indicated that some students were not familiar with this technique, which the lack of knowledge about its use and lack of implementation is a disadvantage.
