This paper is a review article on "intelligibility" in pronunciation teaching. Although intelligibility has been widely regarded as a goal of pronunciation for learners of English for about a decade, its nature has been claimed to be ambiguous. This paper reviews how this concept has been dealt with both in Japanese and European ELT fields and points out the differences and problems of the concept among these countries. Finally, some implications for renovating pronunciation teaching in classroom context in Japan were discussed.
