Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on the articulation method proposed by Dong (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), this study aimed to develop a teaching method that improves learning effectiveness in terms of "teaching order" and "spacing". The author first conducted the study from the perspective of teaching order. When teaching pronunciations that include both difficult and easy pronunciations, the author verified that it is more effective to teach the difficult pronunciations first. Secondly, another experiment was conducted in terms of spacing. The results showed that massed learning resulted in higher learning effects, although limited to some consonants.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年、第二言語習得研究においても最適な文法指導順序や練習間隔を調査した研究が頭角を現している（Suzuki2017, 許ほか2018など）。しかし、管見の限り、中国語の発音習得に関する研究においては、指導順序、練習間隔といったの斬新な視点からアプローチしたものはいまだ行われていないため、本研究はこのようなブランクを埋めることができると考えられる。同時に、日本語母語話者のための効果的な発音指導法はいまだ開発されていないため、本研究の実施により、効果的な教授法の提案や良質な教材の開発が期待される。
