This research paper provides an extensive exploration into the integration of modern digital technologies within the realm of phonetic instruction and pronunciation improvement. It highlights the shift from traditional, teacher-centric models to student-centered, technology-enhanced environments. Key technologies discussed include Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT). The study further investigates the psychological impacts of technology, specifically focusing on reducing foreign language anxiety and boosting learner autonomy. Finally, it provides pedagogical frameworks for educators to effectively implement these tools in various learning contexts.References
