项目摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the results by applying the Audio-Psycho-Phonology(APP) approach to English language teaching with Japanese elementary school students over the past three years. Although the APP has gained prominence recently, most research has been done with adult foreign language learners and little has been done with younger learners.In total, fifth and sixth elementary school students participated in six experiments during 2009 through 2011 school year, which were organized by researchers and four graduate-school students of Nagoya University of Foreign Studies. Each experiment consisted of sound perception trainings through an Electronic Ear apparatus based on the APP approach and other activities. The training programs were developed by revising the appropriate program of the APP approach for adult learners already provided.All the subjects participated before and after the experiments in exactly the same perception and production tests of English words consisting of English phonemes, which do not exist in Japanese phonological system, and produced specially for this study. As a result, the first experiment indicates that the subjects have made significant progress in perception and production of English words. In addition, more remarkable results were obtained in the fifth experiment, where English phonemes were not only provided by thesound perception trainings but also explicitly explained by Japanese teachers.This study indicates that the young learners can improve their perception and production ability thorough the APP approach. The study is expected to give a valuable implication to English language teaching in Japanese elementary schools.

本研究的目的是检验在过去三年中，将视听心理音系学（APP）方法应用于日本小学生英语教学的结果。虽然APP近年来受到重视，但大多数研究都是针对成人外语学习者进行的，针对低龄学习者的研究很少。名古屋外国语大学的研究人员和4名研究生在2009 ~ 2011学年期间，以5年级和6年级的小学生为对象，共进行了6次实验。每个实验包括通过基于APP方法的电子耳装置进行的声音感知训练和其他活动。培训计划是通过修改已提供给成人学习者的APP方法的适当程序而开发的。所有受试者在实验前后都参加了完全相同的由英语音素组成的英语单词的感知和产生测试，这些英语音素在日语语音系统中不存在，并且是专门为本研究制作的。实验一的结果表明，被试在英语词汇的感知和产出方面取得了显著的进步。此外，在实验五中，不仅通过语音感知训练，而且通过日语教师的讲解，获得了更显著的效果，这表明APP教学法能够提高幼儿英语语音感知和产出能力。本研究对日本小学英语教学具有一定的借鉴意义。
