Mastering U.S. English Pronunciation

Academics > Continuing Education Courses & Workshops > Mastering U.S. English Pronunciation

 

A workshop designed to teach non-native U. S. English speakers the intonation and manner of speech common in the United States.  Participants must already speak and understand English fluently, as the workshop will focus solely on the accent and speech patterns that are unique to the United States.

 

Classes are conducted in small groups and include sessions on stress and pauses in speech, how words run together in a sentence and other topics that will help participants learn and understand spoken U. S. English. Individual, daily sessions are included in the schedule to provide participants with one-on-one practice and feedback.  Participants purchase a textbook/compact disc packet that allows them to continue working on their speech patterns individually after the course has ended.

 

New participants may attend just Part I and return for Part II at a later date or they may stay for both weeks. Participants who have previously attended Part I may attend just Part II of this workshop.
