In this study, a web-based pronunciation learning system was developed. The site targets words and expressions studied in class. Students can use it in the classroom, but they can also self-practice pronunciation anywhere. The English audio was created using a free, high-quality speech synthesis site. Words and short sentences from a textbook used in class were selected, and spelling, phonetic symbols, and Japanese translations were displayed on the webpage. Buttons for audio playback were also placed on the screen. Words and phrases are arranged in the order they appear in the textbook. A search function is added to enable pinpoint search. Students were surveyed at the end of the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. The results were highly encouraging, with many positive comments and valuable feedback in the free-response section.
