The purpose of this study is to improve the English pronunciation of Japanese people by focusing on the English pronunciation method that Japanese people have difficulty with, and by analyzing various approaches such as EMG analysis, image analysis, and voice analysis in speaking English. Experiments were conducted by measuring the EMG signals around the oral cavity during the pronunciation of English vowels, video of mouth movements, and measurements of the pronounced voices. The experimental results were analyzed by each method, and the possibility of vowel identification was verified. The results showed that it was possible to identify some vowels, but not all.
