Learning outcomes
|
This course will focus on refining students' English pronunciation, starting with International English, and then offering students a wider range of regional variants towards the end of the semester. Students of any mother tongue are welcome.
Students will leave the course with a better understanding of different ways to pronounce English, and the tools to develop the accent of their choice as they continue on with their language education.

Prerequisites
|
Students must be at a A2 level of English or higher. Students with a very high level of English will certainly not be bored, but they should prepare to fix some bad habits. The curriculum will be adjusted to the needs of each individual class and the unique students therein.
