| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focused on the Japanese-speaking young learner’s attitude and their progress towards L2 speech training based on the questionnaire response after longitudinal training period. Over four hundred students among the 3rd grade through 6th grade participated in this study. The result showed that higher proficiency students showed interest in broader perspective like “conversation,” while lower students in rather narrower like “discrimination,” or “sound.” These results suggest that learners who got attention toward phoneme might improve their perception, however, to promote their proficiency, they need some instruction to have attention to wider perspective of speech. Educators should cultivate learners’ self-efficacy, with paying attention to learners’ attitude toward various aspects of spoken language.
