We Japanese are generally poor at mastering English, and especially said to have not so good listening comprehension as any other foreign people in the world. It is often said this is because English has been taught in Japan mainly with grammartranslation method since the early period of the Meiji Era. We, the authors of this thesis, build up two hypotheses. First, one of the causes of our poor listening com-prehension is due to the type of breathing in utterance. We Japanese generally do not use abdominal type of respiration in speaking English.This causes us to make false acoustic images about English, that is, Japanese English, and this in turn hinders us in forming good, genuine listening comprehension. Second, when we understand the constituents of utterance in hearing, we are likely to make some acoustic images by constructing false ones using what we have formed through Japanese style English. We suggest some ways of solving these problems.
