The Impact of Artificial Intelligence Technologies on the Quality of Learning Foreign Language Pronunciation among Students of Higher Education

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the educational sphere has significantly transformed the learning process, particularly in the field of foreign language acquisition. The relevance of this study lies in the growing need for effective and efficient methods to improve pronunciation skills among students of higher education. Traditional language learning methods often fail to provide individualized feedback and sufficient practice opportunities, leading to persistent issues in achieving native-speaking pronunciation. The advent of AI technologies offers innovative solutions to these challenges, significantly enhancing language learning outcomes. The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of AI technologies on the effectiveness of foreign language pronunciation learning among students of higher education. The use of AI-based tools, such as speech recognition, natural language processing and adaptive learning algorithms, helps educators deliver targeted and interactive learning processes. These technologies facilitate real-time feedback, individualized learning paths and increased engagement. They are critical to master pronunciation. Methods: Analysis of scientific literature, abstraction, generalization, and systematization. Results.The findings of the conducted research indicate that the use of AI technologies in language learning significantly improves pronunciation accuracy and speech fluency. Users of AI-based applications show substantial improvement in their ability to produce correct sounds, intonation, and stress patterns compared to those learning exclusively through traditional methods. The study revealed that AI tools create a supportive environment for practice, allowing students to learn at their own pace and receive instant corrective feedback, crucial for refining pronunciation skills. Conclusions. Thus, AI technologies are promising advancement in the field of foreign language learning, particularly for improving pronunciation. The outcomes of scientific research reveal that incorporating AI-based tools into the curriculum can lead to better pronunciation outcomes, increased student engagement and enhanced learning efficiency.
