Abstract
ID: 21
This research project investigates the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) for teaching English pronunciation to adult second language (L2) learners. Using a mixed-method approach, the researcher analyzed one adult participant’s experience with the AI language learning app ELSA. Over a three-week period, data was collected from ELSA’s evaluations of the participant’s pronunciation proficiency. Additional data was collected through a questionnaire on attitudes and motivation, and two semi-structured interviews. Results revealed minor improvements in the participant’s intonation and accuracy of few select phonemes. However, there was no significant change in the participant’s overall pronunciation, attitudes, or motivation. Moreover, qualitative findings revealed limitations in ELSA’s generated feedback and long-term feasibility considering financial costs. In conclusion, while ELSA may still have certain benefits to offer, this study suggests that short-term, self-guided use of the app is ineffective for learning target pronunciation. Overall, further research is necessary to evaluate AI’s effectiveness in teaching pronunciation, particularly in the context of long-term use.
