Abstract

One way to improve pronunciation skills is to use sophisticated technology, namely software that can help reduce accent errors. In this study we used ELSA Speak software which is an application (app) for moderating a non-native English accent. This study aims to determine whether accent reduction software can improve students’ pronunciation abilities. It uses quantitative methods with an experimental research approach. The research was conducted at one of the Islamic universities in Indonesia. We recruited 40 students – 20 from the English department and 20 from the Arabic language department. Their ages are between 19 and 20, and they have been studying English and Arabic within their departments for four semesters. Ten students from each department were allocated to the experimental class, and ten other students from both majors were placed in the control class. The experimental class was taught by researchers using accent reduction software, while the control class was taught by an English teacher using conventional techniques. We used a voice recorder to capture students’ pronunciation. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis and t-test. The results of the study show that the application of accent reduction software as a medium for teaching English pronunciation can improve students’ skills in English pronunciation (t = 3.538, tcalculate> ttable). This software helps students produce English words clearly and easily because they can hear and imitate the sounds it generates. The implication of using the software can help students to imitate native speaker pronunciation and teachers can reduce their efforts in pronouncing native English sounds because the software functions as a pronunciation learning aid

Abstract

Recreational Reading Habits of the EFL Pre-Service Teachers in an Indonesian Islamic Higher Education. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the recreational reading habits of EFL pre-service teachers at Islamic universities, with a focus on the relationship between the duration of recreational reading and academic achievement. Furthermore, this study also examines differences in reading time based on gender, age, level of study, and students' reading preferences. Methods: This research employed a mixed-methods approach through a cross-sectional survey design and case study, involving 56 students from three classes of the English Language Education Study Program at UIN Datokarama Palu. Data were collected through an online survey, semi-structured online interviews, and document analysis. These data were then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, as well as thematic analysis, to explore quantitative patterns and qualitative meanings in depth.­ Findings: The results of the study showed that involvement in recreational reading activities had a very moderate relationship with the academic achievement of the EFL preservice teachers, indicating that although recreation reading may increase their language awareness and learning motivation, its direct impact on academic achievement was still relatively limited. It was found that 50% of the respondents read for less than one hour per week, reflecting low levels of recreational reading engagement. Differences were also evident based on demographics, with female students and younger age groups tending to read more frequently and preferring digital texts and short reading materials such as online stories and motivational content. Despite limited reading time, students who regularly engage in recreational reading demonstrate better academic achievement, wider vocabulary mastery, and positive attitudes towards learning English. Conclusion: This study confirms the importance of recreational reading culture in supporting academic success, independent learning, and long-term intellectual development. Islamic universities are expected to foster a culture of reading for pleasure by integrating it into the curriculum, strengthening library facilities, and utilizing digital platforms. Keywords: pre-service EFL teachers, recreational reading habits, reading for pleasure.
