The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has enhanced the use of automated speech evaluation systems for language learners to practice speaking skills. This study investigated whether various automatic feedback offered by AI speech evaluation programs can help English as a foreign language (EFL) learners develop speaking skills. Forty EFL learners in China participated in this study. Data collection included qualitative and quantitative data. The results showed that the majority of participants believed they improved their speaking skills with the feedback offered by the AI speaking evaluation program. The findings also revealed that there were significant improvements in their mean scores of speaking skills in pre- and post-tests. Therefore, it is suggested that AI speaking evaluation systems could provide more varied textual feedback and practical suggestions to assist EFL learners in developing speaking skills.
