The situation of using ELSA Speak application by English majored students - Duy Tan University and some suggestions

Abstract

The Faculty of English at School of Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences, Duy Tan University has implemented
an artificial intelligence-based application called ELSA Speak to assist students in improving their language skills,
particularly English pronunciation. However, as this is a new application, research on its effectiveness is limited. A survey conducted with first-year English majored students at Duy Tan University revealed that ELSA Speak was generally positively evaluated by most students and helped improve their pronunciation abilities. However, the research also indicated that ELSA Speak needs further development to provide the best learning experience for students. The study also made suggestions to maximize the potential of ELSA Speak.
