The Efficacy of AI-Powered Speech Recognition in Enhancing English Pronunciation for Second Language Learners

Country Malaysia
Abstract This study examines the efficacy of the AI-powered speech recognition tool, Say It Right, in improving the English pronunciation of the ESL learners in Malaysia with different proficiency levels ranging from CEFR level A1 to level B2. The study included participants of different skill
levels, who practiced with the tool for a semester. The tool offered immediate feedback and the results showed that feedback is an essential component for the changes in pronunciation. The findings showed that most of the learners noted that they had observed a great improvement in
their pronunciation. The study found positive changes in learners’ pronunciation, the general improvement indicates that longer term use and extra teaching intervention may be required for greater improvement. These results suggest the possibility of using AI-based tools in ESL education to enhance language acquisition. This study advances the knowledge of AI-based language learning technologies and instructional practices in ESL context and underscores the importance of incorporating such technologies in language learning.
