This study comprises a survey regarding the thoughts of Japanese teachers working in various educational institutions on improving the teaching approach of Japanese pronunciation in class and phonetics in training Japanese teachers. In this study, the relationship between teachers' beliefs (regarding language learning and teaching Japanese pronunciation) and backgrounds will be discussed on the basis of the results of the pilot survey. In conclusion, three patterns of beliefs and four groups of informants were found: Two groups teaching advanced level Japanese and taking pronunciation into consideration and other two groups teaching primary level Japanese, and not taking pronunciation into consideration.

We have applied the teaching of Japanese pronunciation using chunking, posing and 'へ' shaped intonation as an approach that is teachable and learnable. We have already compiled a pronunciation textbook for Japanese beginners and advanced learners and are currently developing teaching material for upper-intermediate learners of Japanese. The upper-intermediate learners have already learnt basic Japanese but need to develop the variation in expression and pronunciation and the ability to use the variation appropriately. Our textbook for the learners, therefore, facilitates the development of learners' pronunciation through various tasks, such as speech and discussion, to acquire the variation in expression and pronunciation. For each task, the learner outcomes are elucidated to both teachers and learners. This paper discusses the process of creating the textbook.
