Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a major role in almost every aspect of the modern life and particularly in education. Today’s education systems are progressively swinging to technological advances to asset and bolster teaching and learning environment and integration of ICT into preschool education has become a high priority. The motivation behind this review is to examine the blending intelligent voice recognition technology for pre-schoolers particularly into teaching English pronunciations. English might be a popular language to learn, but this does not necessarily mean it is a simple language to master. Most of the people facing problems using English Language, particularly when English is not a native language or mother tongue that often used in one’s everyday conversations. This paper proposed new architecture of an interactive English Oral toolkit (EOT) with intelligent voice recognition for pre-schoolers. Addie models have been used as an instructional design for the development of this toolkit. EOT toolkit will enhance children’s understanding of the language and will motivate children to use this language as a medium of conversations.
