Student perceptions of AI feedback on English pronunciation
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning has become increasingly common in recent years. This study aims to investigate the perceptions of university students towards the use of AI feedback on their English pronunciation.
A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a survey and focus group discussions. The survey gathered data on students' prior experience with AI technology and their attitudes towards receiving feedback on their pronunciation from an AI system. The focus group discussions provided a platform for students to share their thoughts and opinions on the usefulness and effectiveness of the AI feedback.
Findings suggest that, in general, students have positive attitudes towards the use of AI technology in language learning, with many perceiving it as a useful tool for improving their pronunciation. However, some students expressed concerns about their (perceived) lack of improvement and inability to act upon the feedback provided by the AI system.
