<![CDATA[This study aims to investigate the correlation between the frequency of English listening activities and the ability to pronounce English short vowels /ɛ/ and /æ/. A total of 45 non-English major university students participated in this correlational research. Quantitative data were collected through voice recordings analyzed using Praat software, while qualitative data on listening preferences and frequency were obtained through questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that students primarily listened to English through music and movies, with weekly durations ranging from 5–7 hours to 21–28 hours. Despite frequent exposure, many students still produced inaccurate pronunciations of /ɛ/ and /æ/ compared to native-like standards. Statistical analysis showed no significant correlation between English listening frequency and the accuracy of short vowel pronunciation.]]>
