Abstract

The intent of the study was to examine the efficacy of using the Speech Ace program in enhancing the English oral proficiency of junior high school pupils. A quasi-experimental approach was used, consisting of one experimental class that included Speech Ace during sessions, and one control class that received standard education. Both courses underwent pre-testing and post-testing to assess their speaking abilities. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant enhancement in the average score of the experimental group's post-test, which increased from 75 to 88 (p=0.001). On the other hand, the control class did not show a notable variation in average scores, which ranged from 73 to 75 (p=0.05). A t-test analysis comparing independent samples showed a statistically significant difference between the groups, with a p-value of 0.000, which is less than the significance level of 0.05. As a result, it was determined that the study hypothesis was confirmed, indicating that SpeechAce had a considerable impact on students' English-speaking proficiency. The good evaluations of SpeechAce were also seen in the student interviews and surveys. In summary, the results of the study provide concrete evidence that using technology-based tools like SpeechAce may significantly improve students' pronunciation abilities when used with traditional teaching techniques.
