Abstract: | This study aimed to research how the Starfall app develops in the English pronunciation since it is a new alternative to learn the language oriented to children in preschool, kindergarten, first, second and third grade. This program emphasizes exploration, play, and positive reinforcement, encouraging kids to feel safe and motivated to learn. For the research development, a quasi-experimental qualitative methodology was used with 10 fourth-year students from Basic Education School "Marcial Augusto Soria", whose ages fluctuated between 8 and 9 years OLD. They were evaluated before and after the five-week intervention. At the end of the research, the results of the pre and post-test were compared and it was possible to verify the effectiveness of the Starfall application in English pronunciation. Before the experimentation, most of the students were in level 1, that means, there was limited control of phonological characteristics and incomprehensible speech. However, at the end of the experimentation, the majority were placed at level 3 which was satisfactory, and at level 4, being very good because the speech was understandable, there was good intonation, use of accent and in general, good articulation of words |
