Student's Training and English Fluency: The Exploration of AI-Assisted Fluency Training to Promote English Fluency in Students of AJK

Abstract

This paper reviewed the efficiency of AI-based fluency training in enhancing fluency in speaking English among undergraduate learners at the Women University of Azar Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Bagh. The quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was applied where 60 students were put in experimental (AI-supported) and control (traditional instruction) group. The evaluation of fluency was based on structured speaking tasks which measured the speech rate, frequency of pauses, frequency of repair, analytic rating and willingness to communicate. Findings indicated that extensive gains on fluency performance and communicative confidence in the experimental arm were significantly high. The results show that planned AI-mediated orally speaking practice can improve oral fluency in EFL higher education settings.
