Based on the results, 13 students agreed that using the ELSA application to practice speaking English could help them and students also agreed that the ELSA application could also increase student independence in learning anytime and anywhere by utilizing technology in education. The ELSA application was created to overcome problems student; 74% of respondents agreed with this statement and agreed that the ELSA application works with speaking guidance.
