Utilizing AI-based speech recognition technology in learning English pronounciation

Abstract

This research explores the potential of AI-based speech recognition technology to

enhance English pronunciation learning. Through qualitative methods, including

classroom observations and student interviews, the study investigates the impact of this

technology on students' pronunciation accuracy, confidence, and overall learning

experience. The findings demonstrate that AI-based speech recognition offers significant

benefits, providing real-time feedback, personalized learning paths, and improved

engagement, ultimately leading to more effective pronunciation acquisition. However,

challenges such as the need for clear pronunciation and occasional misapplications by

the technology were also identified. This research highlights the promise of AI in

language learning and emphasizes the need for further development to optimize its

effectiveness.
