Japanese English Pronunciation--Issues of Intelligibility, Achievability and Perception in the Context of World Englishes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper addresses the problematic issue of teaching English pronunciation to Japanese learners, advocating a shift away from the native speaker as a model. An argument is presented for the development and recognition of a distinct Japanese English pronunciation standard that can be used as a guideline to inform oral English teaching practices in the Japanese school system. Suggestions are made at the end of the paper for future research to contribute towards the development of such guidelines
