Well, I wouldn't be so sure that it could not correct one's language speaking abilities.
The reason why I think it might: I often forget vocabulary words when speaking a language I have not spoken in a while, but then later on I do remember them; memory works a bit differently in dreams than in waking life, and thus you might remember stuff in dreams that you might forget in waking life.
In dreams our inhibitions are lower, a bit like being drunk sometimes, and part of your problems with speaking the foreign language in waking life may be that you are so worried about saying things wrong that you don't try, and so if inhibitions are lower you might be less shy about trying to speak; furthermore, you may feel weird about talking to yourself, but feel more comfortable talking to dream characters, even though technically it is the same thing.
While you won't learn anything new while in dreams, but you could practice what you already know to make it less likely to forget - a lot of foreign language learning is practicing simple conversations, like "Hello, my name is Joanna. How are you today? I am fine thank you ..." And it may be useful to do that in a lucid dream, just for practice.
Also pronunciation: I think sometimes pronunciation can be improved by even speaking to oneself, realizing that something does not sound quite right, trying to pronounce it better, until it sounds better. My French accent is not very good, but I recognize a good one when I hear it, so I think I could try improving it in dreams until it sounds better to my ear, which may not be really good, but likely will be better than when I started.
