ABSTRACT

In this study, we introduce a new approach in teaching pronunciation in Japanese language education at Waseda University. The details of the learning, using BBS (“Pronunciation BBS”), achieved by Korean learners of Japanese are reported. The data obtained from “Pronunciation BBS” is analyzed and discussed. Finally, a model is suggested based on the current situations of Korean internet education, in order to teach Japanese pronunciation. The following results are obtained from the analysis of the messages posted on “Pronunciation BBS” :(1) Students are able to compare the phonological systems of Japanese and Korean using the phonological knowledge of their first language. (2) Students are able to relate their everyday life to pronunciation learning, and obtain a deeper understanding of pronunciation by expressing their phonological knowledge in words. (3) Students are able to monitor their own pronunciation learning by self-observation. (4) Students are able to share the experience of learning. In Korea, the internet environment is advanced in Japanese language classrooms, and therefore, tudents can easily access to BBS and we can offer support to students. Also, we can take advantage of posting messages in Korean language. Finally, it is expected that Korean learners share their pronunciation problems caused by first language interference.
