To this end, a needs analysis was conducted as part of a practical class for beginner learners of liberal arts subjects, and suggestions on the importance of pronunciation education were obtained from the learners’ needs. The main results obtained through the study are as follows. First, Many people said that they wanted to become better at speaking in order to communicate smoothly, and that they thought pronunciation was the cause of communication obstacles. Second, in the area of ​​pronunciation, of segments, accents, and intonation, they said that suprasegmental sounds were more difficult than segmental sounds, and that they paid the most attention to segmental sounds when speaking in Japanese. Most learners said that they wanted to speak like native Japanese speakers as their goal for learning pronunciation. This confirmed the high need of learners for better pronunciation abilities.
