In an increasingly globalized job market, effective communication in English is critical for career advancement. For students in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programs, pronunciation is a key component of career-oriented communication. However, traditional methods of pronunciation instruction often fail to fully address the needs of learners, especially in a professional context. This paper explores the methodology of using pronunciation development technologies in both classroom and extracurricular activities to enhance students' career-oriented communication skills. It presents a framework that integrates technological tools such as speech recognition software, mobile apps, and virtual learning environments into ESP curricula, with the goal of improving pronunciation, intelligibility, and professional communication. The article also includes practical strategies for instructors to effectively incorporate these technologies in their teaching, both inside and outside the classroom.
