Abstract
In order to improve our way of English pronunciation, we focused on the movement of mouth and tongue, and measured EMG signals of facial muscles. First, we measured EMG signals for some English sentences. After listening teacher's voice by CD, we measured EMG signals and investigated the effect of pronunciation training. Next, we measured similarly for some words that we Japanese have difficulty in distinguishing pronunciation. We analyzed the result of the experiment from the viewpoint of skill acquisition.
