Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented pronunciation coaching system employing automatic speech recognition, International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)-based phonetic analysis, and adaptive learning techniques to improve spoken English proficiency among engineering and management students. The system comprises a speech acquisition module, an audio preprocessing module, an automatic speech recognition engine, an IPA-based pronunciation evaluation module, a pronunciation error detection module, an adaptive learning engine, a feedback generation module, a learner analytics module, and a domain-specific vocabulary database. The system analyses learner speech at the phoneme level, identifies pronunciation deviations, generates personalized corrective feedback, recommends adaptive pronunciation exercises, and maintains learner performance records for continuous progress monitoring. The invention further provides instructor analytics, cloud-based deployment, and integration with institutional learning platforms, thereby facilitating scalable pronunciation assessment and communication skill development for academic and professional environments.
