Learners who could see a speaker's mouth movements during pronunciation training showed significantly greater improvement in both perceiving and producing difficult second-language sound contrasts compared to audio-only learners (The Development of Phonetic Resolution, Speech Communication, 2005).

In controlled studies, children using an AI speech-recognition-based reading tutor showed higher comprehension gains than those receiving standard classroom instruction, with the lowest-proficiency students benefiting most (Evaluation of an Automated Reading Tutor That Listens, 2003).

A meta-analysis of gamification in education found only small effect sizes for knowledge gain (g = .49) and motivation (g = .36). Motivational gains were unstable in rigorous studies — suggesting gamification alone is insufficient without solid instructional content (The Gamification of Learning: a Meta-analysis, Educational Psychology Review, 2020).
