ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the learning of practitioners in practice teaching of pronunciation they obtained through their interactions with Japanese language learners while teaching pronunciation. Based on the learning of practitioners, I discuss the practice teaching of Japanese pronunciation to support practitioner learning. I investigated a practice teaching specializing in pronunciation at the Graduate School in Tokyo. I took participant observations at the pronunciation class and interviewed the practitioners. In this paper, I focus on a practitioner who has experience as a Japanese language teacher. Through interaction with the Japanese language learners, I found that the practitioner learned about Japanese language learners. (1) Their devotion and achievement to learn pronunciation in learning pronunciation (2) Their flexible attitude towards learning pronunciation (3) Their self-correcting capabilities in Japanese pronunciation (4) Their anxiety about pronunciation Thus, the practitioner came to deepen their understanding of the potential of Japanese language learners in learning pronunciation. This study shows that practice teaching can support practitioner learning when a practitioner finds and develops the potential of Japanese language learners in learning pronunciation. Hence, it is necessary for practitioners to be provided with an opportunity to develop the learners’ potential in order to develop themselves.
