Abstract
This paperdelves into the effectiveness of the Elsa Speak software in improving English pronunciation and speaking-listeningskills among English-majored freshmen and sophomores at Can Tho University of Technology (CTUT). The study was conducted with63 students ina three-month experimental usage phase (where students learned the basics in class and practiced at home using ELSA). The results showed that during this phase, students using ELSA Speak had noticeable improvements in pronunciation and communication confidence. ELSA Speak helps students recognize and correct their pronunciation errors, thereby improving the quality of their speaking and listening skills. However, challenges such as dependence on technology and the necessity of skills to use the software were also noted. Our study concludes that integrating assistive technology such as ELSA Speak into the curriculum can have positive effects and should be considered for widespread application.
