Abstract

Pronunciation knowledge is fundamental to improving listening skills; however, it is often neglected by Japanese learners of English. This study involved technical college students enrolled in a three-week TOEIC preparatory course. It investigates the impact of using dialogic pronunciation practice on TOEIC listening comprehension scores. The results show that the experimental group, which consisted of students engaged in dialogic pronunciation practice, had higher gains in listening scores than those students conducting pronunciation practice individually.
