Recent research has problematized the utility and relevance of native speaker-like pronunciation for non-native speakers of English (Jenkins 2000, 2002). According to this research, non-native speakers of English do not need to approximate native peaker pronunciation norms in order to maintain intelligibility with other non-native speakers of English (Walker 2010; O'Neal 2013). However, there are two factors relevant to any discussion about the viability of a native speaker pronunciation model or n English as a Lingua Franca pronunciation model for non-native speakers that are only tangentially addressed in such research: 1) How often do specific populations of non-native speakers use English with other non-native speakers rather than with native speakers in specific numbers ? 2) How often are non-native speakers exposed to non-native speaker English rather than native speaker English? This pilot study attempts to answer both questions for the student non-native English speaker lation at Niigata University n order to ascertain the potential viability of native speaker English pronunciation models. This study tentatively concludes that Niigata University students speak English with other non-native speakers more than with native peakers, but that they listen o native speaker English more than non-native speaker English, and that these two facts have significant implications for syllabus design.
