Abstract

This paper describes a pilot study of SpeakEase, a mobile application intended to aid Electrical Engineering students in their English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction. Utilizing the Lee & Owens instructional design methodology, SpeakEase integrates modules on Electrical Engineering topics, interactive quizzes, glossaries, and an AI-driven chatbot to increase student autonomy. Sixty-eight students engaged in the pilot implementation, completing a structured questionnaire and contributing open-ended reflections. The quantitative data focused on three dimensions: content relevance, usability, and engagement. The qualitative data were thematically assessed to identify recurring patterns in students’ impressions. The findings suggested that students perceived SpeakEase as applicable to their discipline, user-friendly, and favorable to self-directed learning. Thematic analysis suggested that students enjoyed actual technical content, AI-enhanced language support, and the autonomy to engage in self-directed learning. The preliminary data suggest that SpeakEase has the potential to enhance contextual ESP learning. Future studies may involve pre- and post-tests, as well as controlled comparisons, to measure their effect on ESP proficiency.
