The Effect of Using Lingoes Software on EFL Learners' Vocabulary Pronunciation

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study aimed to investigate the effect of Lingoes software on vocabulary pronunciation of Iranian EFL students. The participants consisted of 42 second grade students. Control group was taught by traditional instruction while the experimental group received Lingoes instruction and practiced pronunciation of vocabulary for twenty minutes two times a week over the period of eight weeks. The achievement test on pronunciation of vocabulary was used to collect data. Pre-test was used at the outset of the study to find out whether the levels of the two groups are equivalent in terms of their achievement and then post-test was administered. The results revealed that using lingoes as instructional tool improved the students' pronunciation skill in the experimental group.
