Research Abstract

This pretest-treatment-posttest-delayed-posttest design study investigated the relationship between global foreign accent(GFA), which is an impressionistic judgement of overall non-native pronunciation(see Anderson-Hsieh, Johnson & Koehler 1992) and changes in the production abilities of adult Japanese English learners in a regular classroom setting ; this was done through two instructional approaches : segmental and prosody-oriented. Results suggest that the prosody-oriented approach effectively improves learners' phonology.
