This study aims to examine the effect of implicit and explicit instruction on second language (L2) pronunciation of adult and young learners in relation to accentedness, comprehensibility, and intelligibility. One hundred ten Korean EFL learners read aloud sentences. Two groups (i.e., explicit pronunciation instruction and implicit pronunciation instruction) were instructed L2 speech regarding accentedness, comprehensibility, and intelligibility explicitly and implicitly for five weeks. From the recorded data of all learners' speech, the measurement of accentedness (i.e., pitch accent), comprehensibility (i.e., speech rate), and intelligibility (i.e., stress timing) was analyzed. Result indicated that the significant effect of explicit instruction was shown prominently for adult learners while the effect of implicit instruction was shown prominently for young learners. Lastly, the study discusses the implications of the findings along with suggestions for L2 pronunciation
