Improving English pronunciation via automatic speech recognition technology

This study presents a research study on applying automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology in English pronunciation correction. We also discuss the relationship between ELF/ESL learners' self-improvement and English teacher's classroom teaching. The results show that ASR technology can help Chinese English learners improve their English pronunciation. The research aims to provide a new and practical way for ELF/ESL learners to improve English pronunciation as well as provide a new mode of English pronunciation teaching for relevant educators.
