Abstract

This research examines the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing learners' English pronunciation skills. The participants were 78 English language learners at the elementary and pre-intermediate levels, and 19 experienced English language teachers. The researcher employed a mixed-method approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques, to comprehensively assess the efficacy of AI-based pronunciation aids and gauge learners' perceptions. During a course of two months, the experimental group used Listnr and Murf AI tools, while the control group adhered to a conventional instruction. The data were taken from pre- and post-test pronunciation scores, questionnaire responses, and interviews with the individuals. The findings of the pre- and post-test indicated that the participants in the experimental group had significant improvements in their pronunciation accuracy. The participants in the study had mostly favorable attitudes towards AI-driven tools, emphasizing their effectiveness in enhancing pronunciation skills, boosting confidence, and promoting engagement. Nevertheless, several obstacles pertaining to the interpretation of feedback and the capture of subtle differences in pronunciation were recognized. This research has shown how AI can potentially be used to teach pronunciation effectively, and it has provided valuable insights for teachers, curriculum developers, and learners.

Abstract

The concept of lack being the apex of today’s human being’s stratums of dithered truth is an equivocated issue in the contemporary postmodern era. As is for the amalgamation of postmodern approaches toward subjectivity, the subject is decentered, displaced, and/or pluralized; for Slavoj Žižek, on the contrary, the very lack is inherent in the very core of subjectivity. In Paul Auster’s City of Glass, a juxtaposition of both the postmodern approach and that of Žižek’s Neoclassical revisiting of subjectivity is presented. The protagonist, who is a detective in this novella, acts as if he lags behind some internal reality. For Paul Auster, the detective genre is not the conventional one; that of the classical detectives who search for clues as a means to reach causality to work out the case; it is rather a genre so confusing that the detective not only does not yield any definite result, but with his ebullient sentiments exculpate himself as a detective from coming to any logical deduction. Taking City of Glass as the center for the present discussion, this paper, in an analytic approach, is to render a rereading of the novella now from a Žižekian perspective.
