Abstract

This paper discusses about how important the pronunciation lesson is for Japanese teachers of private Japanese schools and what kinds of problems are encountered. Research was conducted of 19 teachers through questionnaires about the experience, the frequency, the necessity, and the difficulty of pronunciation lessons. Despite recent academic emphasis on "pose", "prominence", "intonation", and "rhythm" in conjunction with teaching methods of Japanese pronunciation, the results of the research suggests that active teachers want effective teaching methods of "single sound" and "special beat". It also reveals the dilemma teachers have about pronunciation lessons.
