dc.description.abstract Good pronunciation enhances both the intelligibility and the effectiveness of speech, so how to teach pronunciation has received great attention from teachers and researchers. Among a wide variety of methods, Moodle has emerged as an efficiently potential tool to assist students in acquiring an intelligible pronunciation. Pronunciation courses can be built on a Moodle site where teachers upload and share the designed materials with their students. Despite various advantages of Moodle courses, not many studies offered empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of Moodle projects on improving students’ pronunciation in Vietnam’s English as Foreign Language (EFL) context. Therefore, this study aimed to find out how using Moodle-based activity can improve freshmen’s pronunciation. The project consisted of 62 Van Lang University freshmen (Vietnam), who were organized into two different groups: the control group and the experimental group. Mixed method was used in combination with various tools for data collection such as pre- and post-test, questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The data collected showed that there was a sharp improvement in the experimental group’s pronunciation. In the hope of bettering students’ pronunciation, some suggestions for optimizing Moodle-based activities are also mentioned at the end of this research paper.
