일본어 발음학습에 대한 한국인 대학생들의 인식

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate Korean college students' perceptions of learning Japanese pronunciation in order to develop more effective pronunciation teaching methods. The perception survey results revealed that, first, the majority of learners believe that both communication and pronunciation are important, and second, many learners believe that pronunciation is more important than communication. Second, most students believe that they should start learning pronunciation from the beginning because they believe that it is difficult to correct pronunciation once it has been established and that they can understand correctly when they pronounce correctly. Third, we discovered that many students value pronunciation and require pronunciation guidance regardless of their major. Many learners, in particular, stated that they categorize themselves based on their goals in learning Japanese rather than their major. Fourth, we discovered that many students do not believe Japanese pronunciation should be necessarily taught by a Japanese teacher. The findings of this study indicate that learners are highly aware of Japanese pronunciation learning and regard pronunciation as extremely important. Based on this, it is necessary to develop more active and specific teaching methods for Japanese pronunciation and voice education in the future.
