Skripsi, English Education Departement Faculty of Languages and Art Education IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Lecturer: 1) Mrs. Ayu Fitrianingsih, S.Pd., M.Pd, 2) Mrs. Oktha Ika Rahmawati S.Pd., M.Pd Keywords: Classroom Action Research, ELSA Speak App, English Pronunciation , Mobile-Assisted Language Learning, Pronunciation Accuracy Pronunciation is an essential aspect of speaking that affects the intelligibility of oral communication. However, many students at MTs 3 Muhammadiyah Sumberrejo had difficulties in pronouncing English sounds accurately. This study aimed to investigate the implementation of the ELSA Speak App and its effectiveness in improving students' English pronunciation . The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on Kemmis and McTaggart's model involving two cycles. The participants were 32 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through Pronunciation tests, classroom observations, field notes, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings showed that the ELSA Speak App provided immediate feedback and repeated practice, creating a more interactive learning environment. Students' mean Pronunciation score improved from 59.59 in the preliminary study and continued to increase through Cycle I and Cycle II. Classroom observations also indicated higher participation, confidence, and motivation. These findings suggest that the ELSA Speak App is an effective technology-based medium for improving students' English Pronunciation at the junior secondary school level.
