Resumo

Esta investigação tem como objetivo melhorar a pronúncia dos estudantes da terminação -S em um grupo de veias estudantes de EFL de uma escola secundária privada na costa equatoriana onde a pronúncia da terminação -s parece débil. Mediante o uso do software informático PRAAT e explorando si, após usá-lo, sua pronúncia foi melhorada; Para responder a esta pergunta, apresentamos aos estudantes o aspecto gramatical específico da pronúncia em inglês de /z/ /iz/ /s/, que utilizamos sons gravados com orações completas, verbos e sustantivos de uma palavra nativa de inglês para ajudar a os estudantes analisam sua pronúncia como fazem a palavra nativa ao usar este software. Os resultados finais demonstraram que alguns ex-alunos melhoraram a pronúncia dos sons finais -S, mas outros não; Os estudantes preocupados com o domínio do inglês melhoraram em comparação com os que tinham níveis de domínio mais baixos. O estúdio sugere usar ferramentas tecnológicas para aprender e aprender a pronúncia, já que alguns estudantes não gostam de aprender um segundo idioma. Os professores devem aplicar seu plano de estudos para aprender a pronúncia com ajuda de ferramentas tecnológicas.
