Revi Yolla Herman (2319.159): The Use of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in Learning Pronunciation Skill at the Eleventh Grade Students of SMK Pembangunan Bukittinggi. A Thesis, English Education Study Program, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, State Islamic University of Sjech M. Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi, 2026. Pronunciation is one of the essential components of English communication because it affects the clarity and accuracy of spoken language. However, many students still experience difficulties in learning English pronunciation due to limited opportunities for practice, lack of confidence, and the use of conventional teaching methods that provide limited immediate feedback. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), particularly Google Gemini and ChatGPT, offers opportunities for students to practice pronunciation independently while receiving instant feedback on their pronunciation performance. Therefore, this research aimed to identify the kinds of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications used by the students and to analyze students’ perceptions toward learning pronunciation skills by using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) at the eleventh-grade students of SMK Pembangunan Bukittinggi. This research employed a quantitative research approach with a descriptive survey design. The research was conducted at SMK Pembangunan Bukittinggi during the 2025/2026 academic year. The population consisted of all eleventh-grade students, while the sample was 24 students from class XI Teknik Alat Berat (TAB), selected using a random sampling technique. The data were collected through a questionnaire questionnaire instrument. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis by used Likert Scale to identify the kinds of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications used by the students and to describe students’ perceptions toward the use of ASR in learning pronunciation skills. The findings revealed that 91% of the students had positive perceptions toward the use of Google Gemini, while 80% had positive perceptions toward ChatGPT in learning pronunciation. In addition, 89% of the students showed positive perceptions in the cognitive aspect, 90% in the affective aspect, and 89% in the conative aspect. Overall, the questionnaire results showed an average percentage score of 88%, which was categorized as "Positive." These findings indicate that Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), particularly Google Gemini and ChatGPT, effectively supports students' pronunciation learning by improving pronunciation awareness, motivation, confidence, and independent learning.
