Abstract
This paper looks into the introspections of Korean JFL learners on the accent of compound words during a three month conversation class. Major findings of the study suggest the following. 1) The instruction on the accent of compound words can reduce the burden of learning individual accent patterns, 2) can build students' interest towards accent learning, and 3) support autonomous learning. However, further studies are necessary to investigate how knowledge gained an accent rules is automatically applied in accent production.
