| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This is a cross-disciplinary investigation of the effectiveness of physical training techniques to develop muscle memory for mastering pronunciation of English vowels. Video and acoustic analyses will be conducted to identify factors affecting English learners’ ability to articulate English vowels in a similar manner to native-speakers. The results will then be used to prepare a training program for subjects to follow with the goal of achieving native-like pronunciation. The same video and acoustic analysis tools will be used to carry out regular monitoring of subjects’ progress.

| 研究実績の概要 |
We completed purchase of equipment and reference materials in preparation for the experimental phase. But, the start of the experimental phase was severely delayed by the COVID-19 lockdown and the subsequent restrictions on close contact. This was particularly difficult for research into pronunciation as it requires subjects and the researcher to remove masks for the recording of articulation, and for demonstration purposes. Therefore, we extend the research period into AY2023. With the lifting of mask restrictions, we tried recruiting subjects for the study, but were unsuccessful in AY2023. At the beginning of AY2024, we recruited some subjects and now expect to complete the experimental and analysis phases by the middle of AY2024, and plan to have a paper ready by the end of 2024.

理由
As noted above, the experimental phase was delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown and the subsequent restrictions on close contact and the use of masks. We have now recruited some subjects and are beginning the experimental phase.
