Outline of Research at the Start

英語習得における音声面の重要性は広く認知されている。しかし、カリキュラムや教授法、教材は未発達である。この状況に対し申請者は、2010年~2015年に日本語母語話者の大学生を対象に、学習者の情意面に有効な英語発音教材開発のためのインストラクショナルデザイン(ID)を行った。
本研究では、このIDで得られた知見を応用し、さらに教材の導入利便性と学習効果を高めるための教材開発を行う。そして、開発教材の導入を通し、英語音声習得における学習者の情意面の変容過程とその特徴を解明する。教材の提示と音声習得過程の解明により、日本人英語学習者の英語口頭コミュニケーション能力獲得と英語使用への向上的変容を目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to develop affect-focused, systematic, autonomous pronunciation instruction materials for Japanese English learners to attain intelligible English pronunciation.
To foster autonomous learners, this research focused on two important pronunciation-related learning skills, namely, self-monitoring and self-repair.This study placed a special focus on the evaluation process of the learners’performance and a sound recognition system was incorporated as the core of their evaluation. It was found that this system was highly beneficial to both learners and educators. Learners were able to receive instant feedback. Educators reduced their evaluation time, allowing them to focus on examining the learners' progress, problems, and weakness via feedback from the worksheet.
This first style of pronunciation instruction materials in the field was published as a book titled Learning English Pronunciation with Speech Recognition: A Fun Drill Book(2024,Hituzi Syobo Publishing).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の主な学術的意義は、これまで英語発音教育で研究対象とされてこなかった英語発音教育の基軸としてのセルフモニター技術とセルフ・リペアの技術を、学習者が自動音声認識を用い、自律的に記録をとる方法により身に付けることが可能であることを実証的に明らかにしたことである。そして、得られた知見をベースとし、具体的に発音練習教材として提示できた。開発教材は、小学生・中学生・高校生・大学生と校種を問わず、学習者への明示的かつ効果的な音声指導法と教材のモデル提示、そして日本人の英語口頭コミュニケーション能力の向上をもたらす上で有力な一助となるものであり、社会的意義がある。
