Resumen

This qualitative study examines the effect of technology-based tools on the pronunciation skills of 9th grade English learners during the second semester of 2025. The research explores how digital resources—such as language learning applications, interactive pronunciation software, and audio-visual materials—support students in improving key pronunciation features, including sounds, word stress, and overall intelligibility. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions to understand students’ perceptions, experiences, and engagement with these tools. Findings indicate that technology-based tools provide increased exposure to authentic models, promote autonomous practice, and enhance students’ motivation to improve their pronunciation. However, the study also reveals challenges related to access, digital literacy, and consistency of use. Overall, the research highlights the significant potential of technology-based tools to strengthen pronunciation skills when integrated effectively into the English learning process
