Description

This presentation examines collaborative ASR-facilitated dubbing tasks to enhance English pronunciation and motivation. Twenty-seven freshmen students participated in dubbing tasks, including replacing original soundtracks with their voices, scripting, planning, modeling, evaluating, revising, and reflecting. Data were collected from ASR assessments, motivation surveys, and reflective essays. Results showed a positive impact on intonation and fluency, with medium effect sizes, and increased intrinsic motivation, indicating higher efforts and individual satisfaction.
