A Brief Review of the Impact of AI-Powered Speaking Tools on Language Learners’ Speaking Skills

Öz

This study is a literature review that examines the effects of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered speaking tools on language learners’ speaking skills. With the rapid development of educational technologies, AI-based applications have become increasingly common in language learning environments, especially in speaking instruction. Previous studies focusing on AI-supported speaking tools, pronunciation applications, speech recognition systems, and conversational chatbots were systematically reviewed. The findings indicate that AI-powered tools such as ELSA Speak, TalkPal AI, and Praktika, positively influence learners’ speaking performance, pronunciation accuracy, fluency, confidence, and motivation. The literature also suggests that instant feedback, personalized learning opportunities, and interactive speaking activities provided by AI applications help learners participate more actively in the learning process. In addition, these tools reduce speaking anxiety and create flexible learning environments where students can practice speaking outside the classroom. This paper discusses the educational potential of AI-powered speaking tools and evaluates how these technologies contribute to speaking development in English language learning contexts.
