Hello everyone,

I am a master’s student in English Education at [Hiroshima University] in Japan, currently researching L2 pronunciation and learner self-monitoring. My current working definition of self-monitoring is “the process by which a learner records their speech, listens back to identify pronunciation errors or areas for improvement, reflects on these observations, and then makes corrective adjustments in subsequent practice.”I plan to focus specifically on self-monitoring in pronunciation, but I am also considering expanding to self-monitoring in speaking more broadly. Could researchers who have investigated self-monitoring share how they define the concept and any key insights or references from their work? I would greatly appreciate your perspectives and suggestions.

Thank you!
