Research-Oriented Short Presentation
Phonological awareness is considered a strong predictor of early literacy in English-speaking countries. However, does it have similar effects in a Japanese EFL context? This study explores the effectiveness of teaching phonological awareness explicitly to fourth graders in a public elementary school in Japan. The study was conducted for a year in the researcher’s homeroom class. The pre- and post-tests have shown interesting implications.
