Shadowing is used in interpreting education for various purposes, from student screening to simultaneous interpretation training. This study analyzes student diaries to find out what effects students think they enjoy from practicing shadowing, what difficulties they experience, and what teachers need to consider when assigning shadowing practice for self-study. The analysis found that the greatest difficulties that students had was to shadow fast-speaking speakers. It indicates that phonemic or adjusted-lag shadowing are appropriate for students who begin their training, as the methods help enhance auditory decoding and articulatory encoding. In contrast, phrase shadowing, which enhances selective attention, is for advanced students who learn simultaneous interpreting. Post-shadowing recalls encourage students to concentrate more intently during shadowing and better remember shadowed expressions. Last but not least, teachers should offer lots of encouragement to students to perform shadowing, since shadowing is a mentally and physically strenuous task.
