English Phonetics Seminar members at Miyazaki Municipal University in Japan have been conducting a summer intensive program each year since the year 2000. Various activities to improve the members’ English listening, pronunciation, and reading skills have been adopted from various sources, and we have been making modifications to our program each year. This report makes some practical suggestions to improving Japanese EFL learners’ English skills based on our 7-year experience.
