It is often said that for learners of Japanese to acquire Japanese accent of simple words, they can only memorize each words individually. However, it is unlikely that Japanese native speakers follow the same process. Thus this study clarified a tendency in the accent pattern and its rules. Based on the results, a practice was conducted in which the teacher taught the tendency and rules. It was observed that consciousness can be raised through comparing the difference between his own accent and that of the native speaker's.
