This research paper investigates the effectiveness of AI-based language learning applications in enhancing pronunciation skills in primary-level English learners. As accurate pronunciation is crucial for clear communication, early language learning programs increasingly incorporate AI-driven apps to provide students with personalized, immediate feedback on their pronunciation. This paper analyzes how these applications support young learners, the benefits they offer over traditional methods, and the challenges encountered. Findings suggest that AI-based apps significantly improve pronunciation through interactive, user-friendly exercises, fostering learner confidence and fluency.
