摘要：The primary aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of using artificial intelligence-based pronunciation checker in learning pronunciation independently from the viewpoints of higher education students of English Education Department in IAIN Jember. Mix method were used as the research design. The quantitative data were obtained through one group pretest posttest design to know the effectiveness of the application to student’s pronunciation achievement. Then, a questionnaire was used to investigate student’s attitude toward the pronunciation application. The results of the speaking test showed that student’s pronunciation was improved. The average score of student’s pre-test score was increased for about 30 points, from 56 points to 90 points on post- test. The analysis of student’s questionnaire demonstrated conceptions about using technology of doing independent learning especially in English pronunciation. The study suggests that while students admit the effectiveness of artificial intelligence technology in learning pronunciation independently, they still believe that having a real communication, especially with natives as frequently as possible, will help their pronunciation learning faster and better.
