初級音声教育の試み

―日本人学生との会話スキット作成から朗読へ―

抄録

In this study we will present a new approach to the important field of phonetic education for beginners, featuring two native speakers acting role plays. The learner uses a device to record his own voice in order to control his pronunciation. First he tries to imitate the native speakers as closely as possible. He takes over a role and starts acting freely. By this process the learner is freed from the old gruesome pronunciation drill practice. We think that by interacting spontaneously with his Japanese partners he is able to acquire necessary pronunciation and communication skills in a more pleasant and motivating way.
