Abstract

This study examined how well the Bilingual Virtual Toolkit (BVT) Let's Twist tool, used in an online Moodle learning environment, addressed pronunciation issues among English and Malay second language learners at Al-Saadah Complex. 18 students' pronunciation abilities were evaluated using a pre-test/post-test design; via qualitative action research utilizing pre-test and post-test. The findings showed that the provided pronunciation variations demonstrated a range of phonological errors and substitutions deemed common among second-language learners of English. Each variation reflected unique challenges influenced by the learners' native dialects and phonetic patterns. 15 of the participants had improved their pronunciation of challenging English sounds like [s] and [t]. Three pupils, however, persisted in having problems, which might be related to underlying speech impediments. The BVT Let's Twist program has shown potential as a useful instrument for enhancing pronunciation, highlighting the significance of incorporating interactive, learner-centered techniques into digital language learning platforms for second language learners.
