This study explores students’ experiences in using LingoDeer, an AI-based language learning application, and investigates its perceived contribution to the development of English-speaking skills. It focuses on how the application supports key aspects of speaking, including fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and comprehension, as well as students’ overall perceptions of its role in their learning. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, combining questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, to provide a comprehensive understanding of LingoDeer to enhance speaking ability. This study was conducted at the Department of English at State Islamic University of Mataram, involved 120 respondents and 10 students served as interviewers who used the LingoDeer app The results demonstrate that LingoDeer positively impacts students’ speaking skills, particularly in areas of fluency, pronunciation, grammar understanding, and vocabulary enrichment. Students reported that the app's interactive features, repetitive exercises, and audio support helped them improve pronunciation and internalize language patterns. The study also found that LingoDeer motivated consistent speaking practice and provided immediate feedback, fostering engagement. The research suggests that the use of AI in English learning is pivotal; thus, teachers should consider the utilization of AI tools for effective teaching and learning.
