Abstract
Shadowing is a theoretically and empirically well-recognized method to develop L2 learners' listening comprehension. However inappropriately overusing of Shadowing practice turned out to cause a series of problems such as the lack of confidence of students. This project investigated the concerns of Japanese language learners in China during an questionnaire survey. According to the survey results, the majority of participants perceive that they do feel anxiety during shadowing practice. To arouse their enthusiasm, the leading role of teacher and appropriate materials are also discussed in this study.
