上田功教授退職記念特集

Students and teachers of English in Japan often complain that they lack confidence when it comes to English pronunciation. This paper will look at some of the common reasons why they might feel that way, and discusses the consequences of such attitudes. This can lead to a downward spiral where students do not feel confident about their English pronunciation, and if they go on to become teachers, they perpetuate the problem by avoiding pronunciation instruction. This paper argues that the place to break this cycle is in teacher training courses. When trainees are given the knowledge and resources they need to teach pronunciation, they will then have the confidence to teach it to their students who will in turn be more confident. It ends with discussion of what some of the key components of such a course should be.
