Contrastive analysis is the systematic study of the linguistic systems of two languages with a view to identifying their structural differences and similarities. Examining the phonetic inventories of the languages of Japanese and English this paper will first define and give descriptions of the phonemes of the two languages highlighting how this contrastive analysis may bring benefits or otherwise within the EFL classroom.
