At present, the teaching, training, and assessment programs of English speaking courses in schools are basically carried out by the teaching method of face-to-face teaching by teachers, especially in the English speaking assessment; students and teachers communicate with each other to answer questions, while the students’ performance is subjectively judged by the school English teachers. This model not only consumes the teaching resources of school English teachers but also cannot ensure the uniformity of grading standards. To this end, this paper designs and proposes an English speaking test system with the aim of building an intelligent speaking test system by designing a speech recognition deepening frequency processing function through SSM framework combined with JSP technology and deep learning theory. The English speaking test system designed in this paper integrates several open source frameworks, adopts modular design, and divides it into two subsystems, student-side module system and teacher-side module system for system framework design, and finally, this system is tested for functionality. The system was designed and implemented through the framework description, functional description, and functional testing of this system, and finally, the English speaking test system was designed and implemented. The system is designed and implemented to change the traditional one-to-one mode of school teaching, save teachers’ manpower, strengthen the content of intensive training for students’ English proficiency and improve the frequency of exams, facilitate school administrators and English teachers to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching implementation, and develop corresponding effective individualized teaching and guidance strategies for schools to provide convenience, which can greatly reduce the recognized labor intensity of English teachers and provide a correct evaluation of students, a correct evaluation of the level, and other roles.

“…The gender inequalities are the obstacle in every aspect so there is no exception that it is also the effecting factor in EFL /ESL classroom. Among the several other challenges, Rana and Rana (2019) found that the negligence of listening and speaking tests at secondary level examination is also challenge. While teaching language, all four language skills should be equally prioritized, however speaking and listening have not received the same emphasis from the Nepali government.…”

English has been utilized for more than 150 years as the primary language of instruction, evaluation system, and subject matter to be taught and learned, or both, covering a broad variety of subjects from early childhood to higher education (Khadka, 2022). This paper uses the qualitative method, relying on secondary sources of data. An overview of teaching English in Nepal is provided in this article. It makes an effort to investigate how teaching and learning languages are situational. The study aims to discuss Nepal's ELT paradigm shift along with societal inequality and disparity, which lead to difficulties in English language instruction in Nepal. How an English language education practitioner would address those challenges is covered in the paper's conclusion.

“…In general, the training and testing of the recognition model system is noncorrelated with the extraction of features in terms of the processing. We can achieve the work of parameter extraction of speech features through a series of mathematical calculations [7]. The commonly used speech feature parameters are linear predictive cepstral coefficients LPCC and MFCC, which simulates the auditory properties of the human ear and is mostly used in most cases.…”

The mainstream deep learning spoken language evaluation algorithms are based on speech recognition to perform mispronunciation determination. In the process of speech recognition, Deep Neural Network-Hidden Markov Model (DNN-HMM) has better performance than Gaussian Mixture Model-Hidden Markov Model (GMM-HMM). In this paper, the structure of speech recognition system is analyzed and the current mainstream English speaking evaluation algorithms are analyzed, and it is concluded that the current mainstream evaluation algorithms are basically not end-to-end and have low evaluation metrics. Therefore, this paper designs an end-to-end speech evaluation model based on the theory of deep learning, and conducts experiments for this model under the TIMIT speech dataset to verify and analyze the advantages of this paper's model in temporal modeling, which shows that the speech recognition model designed in this paper has better performance in spoken language evaluation.
