The study of English language teacher training curriculum to practically improve English pronunciation and its instructional skills at teacher's college in Japan

在日本，学校教育的重点之一是提高英语水平，并使其在现实生活中有足够的熟练程度。发音是达到这一目标的必要技能和能力之一。我们的问卷调查显示，在师范学院学习英语教师的学生除了试图在课堂上模仿日本英语教师的英语或CD材料的英语声音外，没有在初高中接受适当的、实用的英语发音教育和培训的经验。然而，这种模仿方式仅限于达到足够的英语发音水平，以方便他们用英语交流。本研究在高师院校引进和开发了基于课程的英语教师培训项目，并对其在提高英语发音技能方面的效果进行了调查和发现，这些效果将在小学、初中和高中英语课堂中得到实际应用。

One of the priorities in school education in Japan is to improve English and have its adequate proficiency in real life situations. Pronunciation is one of necessary skills and abilities to reach that target. Our questionnaire surveys revealed that students learning at teacher's college to be English teachers have had no experience to have proper, practical English pronunciation education and training at middle and high schools except just trying to make their Japanese English teachers' English or English voices of CD materials in the classroom. However, such copying ways are limited to reaching adequate levels of English pronunciation that will facilitate their communication in English. Our research introduced and developed curriculum-based English teacher training program at teacher's college, and investigated and found its effect to improve English pronunciation skills that will be practically employed into the classroom at primary, middle and high school English lessons.
