Abstract

This paper reviewed Computer-based pronunciation instruction research with a total of 15 research conducted all around the world in order to identify any overriding trends that might be useful to the concept in the context of the studies. Three topics are available in studies published primarily between 2015 and 2020. Analysis of the research has shown that, most of the studies conducted using ASR based tools. There are some advantages and disadvantages of CAPT but mostly has advantages and results of the studies showed that in every study there is a positive effect of using CAPT based tools; simplicity of use, the utility of pronunciation training due to feedback given and adequate understanding of difficulties with pronunciation were advantages of CAPT based pronunciation instruction while there are some disadvantages such as lack of knowledge of usage, the transcription skills and convenience of the software. Also, the feedback was another concerned topic whether the feedback given by software is enough or peer or teacher feedback is needed.
