Language learning is a wonderful thing to undertake, but there is always a struggle when it comes to output. While there is a school of thought that says we should preserve the unique accents non-native speakers have, there still is a desire among some to have more of a "native" pronunciation. This presentation will look at ways in which you can help the Japanese English learner better understand why listening/speaking is a challenge for them.
