発音指導の内容による日本語学習者の発音の変化 - ニュース文と会話文の違いをめぐって -

Abstract

This study examined how learners' pronunciation changed in accordance with the pronunciation guidelines' content and identified the distinctions between the material covered in class and the uncovered material. Consequently, it was discovered that learners' pronunciation differed from the original sound after the lesson ended, but it was closer to the original sound during the pronunciation instruction period. Additionally, learners' pronunciation in classes that focus on pronunciation guidance (news sentences) is characterized by staying relatively close to the original sound during the lesson; however, after the class, the pronunciation either changes or stays the same; in contrast, there is no discernible pattern of change in fields that are not covered in the class. Additionally, there was a discrepancy between learners' perceived and actual pronunciation changes. These findings make it necessary to consider how to give pronunciation instructions. In order for students to continue practicing consciously after class, it is also critical to support them as they practice pronouncing words correctly on their own and to assist them in differentiating between correct and incorrect pronunciation.
