An AHP-based Computer Evaluation Model for College Students English Pronunciation Quality

Different groups of English learners have different levels of spoken English, and the criteria used to evaluate their pronunciation should also be different. This paper introduces a method for determining the weights of computerized ratings of English pronunciation quality for university students using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The indicators used for scoring are divided into two parts: firstly, basic pronunciation, including accuracy, intensity and speed; secondly, expression ability, including emotion, rhythm and intonation. The best weight for each indicator is calculated by the AHP method, and when the evaluation is carried out, the weighted sum of the scores of each indicator is calculated to obtain the final overall evaluation result. The paper concludes with an experiment to verify that the computer evaluation model of English pronunciation quality established in this way for university students is objective and valid.
