| Research Abstract |
This study examined phonological processing of English by native Japanese speakers. The acquisition of new Japanese words by young native Japanese children was related closely with their phonological awareness skills, and they segmented Japanese words by morae increasingly with age. Yong and adult native Japanese speakers segmented English sounds by morae and their segmentation was not related with their phonological awareness of Japanese. Their segmentation was different from that by native Chinese speakers. This accounts partly for poor listening skills of English by native Japanese speakers
