Introduction: The change in modality in education has had a significant impact on both students and teachers, thus it is now vital to know about technology tools and their contribution to the teaching-learning process. Furthermore, English has become a globally recognized language, and the development of its four skills has been fundamental to its acquisition. Speaking is considered one of the most fundamental skills within the language, but also one of the most complex to develop. This study seeks to establish a technological tool to develop the ability to speak English in a private institution in Chone. Materials and methods: The technique employed was a mixed approach within a descriptive orientation method, with data acquired through field research that allows for a more direct record of the data with the topic of the study in question while applying the various approaches. We will collect data from high school students using questionnaires and observation sheets, as well as interviewing professors. Results and discussion: The findings imply that, the implementation of the ELSA SPEAK application to improve and develop speaking skills has generated a positive impact on students, improving their intonation, pronunciation and vocabulary in their dialogue activities. Conclusions: It can be concluded that English instructors should consider the ELSA SPEAK App as appropriate technology for teaching pronunciation skills.
