This paper examines some key linguistic adaptations in syllabification and their pedagogical application with regard to English Loanwords in Japanese and the advantages they offer to Japanese EFL students. Status of English language with regard to language education has changed overtime and has attained a significant importance in the formal educational system today. Users of English language have increased manyfold in the past decade due to increasing work opportunities in the context of globalization. Japanese people are required to have a business level English proficiency and sometimes an expected level of TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) test score, to be able to secure a job position with foreign based companies operating in Japan or aboard. This paper argues that awareness of linguistic processes in syllabification of loanwords or katakana English helps language learners and instructional designers in better familiarizing the learner group with the phonological adaptations, and their pedagogical application could help them learn their target language better.
