An Intelligent English-Speaking Training System Using Generative AI and Speech Recognition

English is the first foreign language most Taiwanese have encountered, yet few have achieved proficient speaking skills. This paper presents a generative AI-based English speaking training system designed to enhance oral proficiency through interactive AI agents. The system employs ChatGPT version 5.2 to generate diverse and tailored conversational scenarios, enabling learners to practice in contextually relevant situations. Spoken responses are captured via speech recognition and analyzed by a large language model, which provides intelligent scoring and personalized feedback to guide improvement. Learners can automatically generate scenario-based scripts according to their learning needs. The D-ID AI system then produces a virtual character of the AI agent, whose lip movements are synchronized with the conversation, thereby creating realistic video interactions. Learning with an AI agent, the system maintains controlled emotional expression, reduces communication anxiety, and helps learners adapt to non-native interaction, fostering more natural and confident speech production. Accordingly, the proposed system supports compelling, immersive, and personalized language learning. The experimental results indicate that repeated practice with the proposed system substantially improves English speaking proficiency.
