| Details | This study examined the effects of an English as an International Language (EIL) learning program using TTS-synthesized speech from diverse non-native English speakers. Fifteen Japanese university students participated in five sessions. Analysis of the EIL Perception Scale and open-ended responses showed a significant trend in the “Strategies for Multilingual/Multicultural Communication” subscale. The qualitative data suggested increased awareness of linguistic diversity and promotion of autonomous learning. |
