It is often said that for learners of Japanese to acquire Japanese accent, they can only memorize each word individually. However, it is unlikely that Japanese native speakers follow the same process. In this paper, the results of the accent practice for superior-level speakers are reported. During the practice, a Korean learner read aloud sentences in a textbook and compared her own pronunciation to that of the recorded sentences read by a native speaker. After feedback and practice, the learner was asked to read aloud the sentences again. The results indicated that 1) correction of the accents made by an instructor was not necessary maintained, 2) consciousness can be raised through comparing the difference between her own pronunciation and that of the native speaker's.
