Abstract
This master thesis deals with the integration of digital tools in English pronunciation teaching to help L2 learners improve their pronunciation. To assess the benefits of technology integration in EFL teaching, this thesis explains and analyzes an experiment conducted in a Belgian secondary school with themobile application Flowchase. Our research shows that explicit focus on pronunciation - when combined with the use of technologies - has a significant impact on L2 learners pronunciation, despite the complexities of English pronunciation and the challenges linked with the integration of technology in classrooms. Our research also demonstrates that, with appropriate training and knowledge, EFL teachers can integrate technology in their lessons in an effective way.
