Learn Pronunciation of American English
By studying American English pronunciation carefully, you can
develop clear speech. During the six week course, we practice the vowel
sounds (A, E, I, O, U) and review
basic spelling rules. We learn sounds of other letters which tend to
change from one language to another, such as R, T, Th, NG and more. We
also practice syllable stress and word stress. You can view all the
major pronunciation points which will be covered in class in the 500 Words Practice section on
this site.
During class, we discuss major sounds and repeat word lists together.
Students also work in pairs and small groups while the instructor walks
around, listens, and helps students individually. We will save some
time during each class to practice talking about everyday subjects.
View conversation questions we will use under "My Vocabulary."
During that time, students are encouraged to apply pronunciation rules
to words from everyday vocabulary. Students can also continue
practicing at home and
email the instructor with further questions between classes.
In this English language class, you can choose to reduce your accent or just learn the rules of pronunciation.
Needed English Level
Good
everyday vocabulary, easily able to speak in most situations, some
grammar mistakes o.k. As long as you have the words, we can work on the
pronunciation. Students often have some variety in English level.
