    The following research explores the effect of the shadowing technique on Chilean 5th-grade EFL learners for pronunciation enhancement of consonant clusters /st/, /sp/, and /sk/ in initial position to describe the performance and perception of students before and after the intervention period. This research takes a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design. The data was collected through a pre and post-test, and a self-perception questionnaire applied to 24 5th graders at a school in Coronel, Chile. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the pronunciation of consonant clusters in the initial position, while keeping students engaged and motivated, according to the questionnaire used in this study. More research is needed to corroborate the findings in this study.
