What is it about?
Along the years English has emerged as a truly global language in our society. This has resulted in a number of methods and approaches used in the field of teaching and learning English as a Foreign or Second Language (EFL/ESL), where both the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and the Open Educational Resources (OERs) are paramount. Bearing this in mind, the objective of the present paper is twofold. On the one hand, to investigate to what extent university students enrolled in the Pronunciation and Understanding of Spoken English module are able to improve their pronunciation through an online tool called Voki. On the other hand, to examine if they have a positive attitude towards the use of ICTs for the learning of pronunciation.
