ABSTRACT

This study aims to present a conversation instruction plan that aims to develop conversational skills through improving listening comprehension. As part of this effort, we will expand on Tsuneyoshi's (2024) research on monosyllabic words and word units, identify sounds learners have difficulty hearing when listening to “sentences,” and examine sounds that should be incorporated into future listening comprehension instruction.(1) Learners have difficulty in listening to za(ザ) and ja(ジャ) sounds in monosyllables, words, and sentences. (2) It was pointed out that there are sounds (“zo(ゾ)-jo(ジョ)” “articulation,” and “articulation point”) that are not difficult to hear in monosyllabic words but become difficult to hear when they become a component of a sentence. Since this study employed a different research method than previous studies, we believe that we were able to specifically clarify the degree of difficulty of mishearing according to the sound forms of monosyllables, words, and sentences, which could not be clarified in previous studies. Based on these results, we would like to explore future instructional plans for listening comprehension that focus on sounds prone to mishearing and increase proficiency in listening comprehension.
