Abstract

Reassessing the operationalization of e-dictionaries, the last epoch of English teaching-learning has revolutionized direct motivational currents and precise phoneme realization in undergraduates. Instructors have experienced incredible progress in improving speaking accuracy. E-dictionaries predispose undergraduates to imitate and emulate the accurate enunciation of mispronounced lexicons. Reconsidering the rapid evolution and practicing correct patterns of stereotypically distorted pronunciation have been reformed through operating E-dictionaries to rectify poor articulation. Instructors have reflected their insights regarding their prospective objectives of enhancing undergraduates’ accurate pronunciation, inflicting prompt spoken consciousness by integrating E-dictionaries into EFL classrooms for practical activities. The tenacity of the contemporary study was to determine the impact, influence, and efficacy of e-dictionary integration as an instructional strategy to measure altercations and accuracies during speech sound production. A randomization strategy and Praat quantitative data analysis were applied to determine the variation in the preference poll percentage of precision during the phonetic analysis of phoneme vocalization. The study has been categorically designed to monitor changes in English learners’ speaking, refining inaccurate pronunciation from 3.5% to 6.8% out of 10% through an Integration Model Application. The findings revealed substantial disparities during articulations. The results revealed significant differences in undergraduates’ precise realization of phonemes that improve excellence in enunciation, which leads to improvement in speaking faculty. After the integration of e-dictionaries, undergraduates recognized the distinction and amelioration of their conversations. To Investigate the use of e-dictionaries as strategy to improve speaking skill has helped to realize precise phonemes during practical activities.
