Keywords:
Speaking skill development, technology integration, mobile applications, artificial intelligence, language learning, pronunciation feedback, AI tools, language education.Abstract
The integration of mobile applications and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools has significantly enhanced the development of speaking skills in language learning. These technologies provide learners with interactive, personalized, and flexible platforms that offer real-time feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and grammar. Mobile tools such as Duolingo, ELSA Speak, and AI-driven tools like Yoodli enable continuous practice and self-assessment, enhancing learner confidence and communication abilities. Studies show that users experience up to 85% improvement in speaking proficiency after regular engagement with AI-powered language tools. Despite challenges including accent recognition limitations and unequal access to technology, the adoption of mobile and AI tools continues to grow globally, with the market projected to exceed $40 billion by 2027. This paper explores the current applications, effectiveness, and future prospects of mobile and AI technologies in facilitating speaking skill development, emphasizing their crucial role in modern language education.
