How to utilize ASR technology as part of the pronunciation learning process? The research results showed that properly adapted ASR technology can provide an individualized, stress-free, self-paced learning environment as well as opportunities for immediate, individualized feedback. A blended EFL pronunciation learning method is proposed and future research direction is pointed out in this study.
