Impact of chain drill technique on the pronunciation development in education
Abstract
The growing complexity of enhancing pronunciation accuracy, speech intelligibility and speaking fluency among English language learners has increased the urgency to design instructional approaches that are evidence based and can address the modern challenges in language education. The results indicate that the Chain Drill Technique plays a significant role in the achievement of pronunciation accuracy, speaking fluency, phonetic competence and engagement with repetitive drills, interactive learning and interaction among learners in classrooms. The review also notes close relations between the activities in chain drills and enhancement of language acquisition processes, pronunciation concerns, linguistic competence, and speech intelligibility. The implication of the emerging trends is that integration of artificial intelligence-assisted language learning, speech recognition tools, adaptive learning environments, mobile-assisted language learning, and personalized learning analytics increases the effectiveness of pronunciation training, by offering immediate feedback and multimodal learning opportunities. The technique further shows significant pedagogical importance in digital language education and to human-machine interaction in education. Conclusion of the review is that Chain Drill Technique is a very pertinent teaching method to be used in developing pronunciation despite the changes in educational technologies. The incorporated integration with educational technology, pronunciation feedback systems, and innovative language learning practices create substantial future research and citation potentials of sustainable and technology-driven language learning environments.
