Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The main objective of language learning is to acquire good communication skills in the target language.
From that viewpoint, in terms of learner's pronunciations, their primary goal has to be able to speak in an intelligible-enough or comprehensible-enough pronunciation, not a native-sounding one.
However, achieving such pronunciation is not easy for many learners mainly because of their lack of opportunity to use the language they learn and receive some feedbacks on intelligibility or comprehensibility.
In order to solve these problems, the authors previously proposed a novel method of native speakers' reverse shadowing and showed a high validity to use native speakers' shadowings to learners utterances to objectively measure the comprehensibility of learners' speech.
One major problem in our previous research however, was that the experiment was done on a relatively small scale; the number of learners was only six.
For this reason, in this study, we carried out a larger collection of Japanese utterances read aloud by 60 Vietnamese learners and Japanese native speakers' shadowings to those utterances.
An analysis of the subjective ratings done by the native speakers implies that some modifications we made from our previous experiment contribute to making the framework of native speakers' reverse shadowing more pedagogically effective.
