Hi chị Thu,
Great topic! Using Speechace API for pronunciation is really practical and timely, esp when AI is the all the craze right now. I like that you're focusing specifically on vowels rather than all pronunciation, making it manageable. But still, is it too broad? Are you targeting all the vowels or just the ones that are problematic for Vietnamese learners (e.g., /ɪ/ vs. /i:/, /æ/ vs. /e/).

There are some suggestions I have for the methodologicals details, like:
- The details for the research should be mentioned. How long will students use Speechace? What grade level? How many students? These details will make your study clearer and more replicable.
- You should also consider a control group. Right now it's just pre-post comparison. If possible, having a control group (students doing traditional pronunciation practice) would strengthen your findings about whether Speechace actually works better.
- One small thing I think you should clarify is "qualitative obtained from questionnaires" part. Questionnaires are usually quantitative (Likert scales). Did you mean interviews for qualitative data, or open-ended questions on the survey?
Overall, your topic is feasible and valuable, especially for Vietnamese traditional EFL contexts where pronunciation receives little attention. With some refinement of methodology details, this could be a strong, publishable study. Looking forward to seeing your results.
