• This study investigates the potential for the analytic assessment of the English pronunciation of Japanese using GENOVA (Crick & Brennan, 1984) and FACETS (Linacre, 1996a). A total of 21 Japanese EFL college students read two different materials (a prose type reading and a dialog type reading) and these were audiotaped. Their pronunciation performances were rated by five judges (three L1 Japanese and two L1 English instructors) using 15 assessment items (vowels, diphthongs, consonants, consonant clusters, aspiration, word stress, sentence stress, rhythm, intonation, weak forms, loudness, tempo, energy, smoothness, and clarity). The results revealed that the performance-based analytic pronunciation assessment served its purposes even though the raters made their judgments independently. The study also showed that (1) The 15 items significantly varied in difficulty and (2) The raters exerted different levels of severity in rating.
