Abstract	The presented five-step lesson is intended for Japanese students studying English as a foreign language (EFL). The activity is an attempt to raise students' consciousness regarding Katakana English being used in their English classes and how it differs from the Standard English that they are learning; it is also intended to improve students pronunciation of English, particularly the recognition and production of syllables and sounds that are distinctive from English to Japanese. Katakana English refers to spoken English - which may or may not include loanwords - that applies the phonological sounds of Katakana, which is the phonetic system in the Japanese language that is generally used for writing words borrowed from other languages. Although the lexicon of borrowed words in Japanese draws from a number of languages, English accounts for the majority of them. Since each kana represents a specific sound or combination of sounds, the pronunciation of each sound often differs from that of the original English word. (Verlag, adapt.).
