THE ROLE OF PRONUNCIATION APPS IN IMPROVING ENGLISH SPEAKING FLUENCY

Abstract

This article examines the role of pronunciation-focused mobile applications in improving English speaking fluency among language learners. As pronunciation is a key element of oral communication, the need for accessible, effective, and engaging tools has led to the rise of several language learning apps such as ELSA Speak, Sounds: The Pronunciation App, and Speechling. These tools use artificial intelligence, phonetic feedback, and personalized training to enhance learners’ articulation, stress patterns, and intonation. The study explores how these applications influence speaking confidence, fluency, and accuracy, especially in self-learning and classroom settings.
