The presenter reports how listener’s background differences influence intelligibility and comprehensibility of Japanese learners of English. Specifically, he presents the association between the two dimensions of speech understanding (intelligibility and comprehensibility) and three listener factors (listeners’ first language, familiarity with English spoken by Japanese people, and listeners’ English level).
