dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to explore the effectiveness of Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology in enhancing pronunciation and overall language proficiency among A2-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at the University). It was conducted over a 30-day intervention period, the study involved 16 randomly selected students who practiced daily using a TTS reader. A Pre-test and Post-test design measured the impact, revealing significant improvements in pronunciation, as evidenced by the increase in mean scores from the Pre-test to the Post-test and the statistical significance confirmed by a paired sample t-test (t(15) = -2.304, p = 0.036). Survey data showed positive student perceptions, with high satisfaction regarding the user interface, speech quality, and engagement levels. While the study considers the potential of TTS technology as a beneficial tool in EFL education, it acknowledges limitations related to sample size and intervention duration. Recommendations include integrating TTS into curricula, providing educator training, and conducting further research to examine long-term effects and broader language skill impacts.
