With LangOpp, Languages Create Opportunities
Our Pronunciation Workshops are designed for intermediate and advanced English learners looking to master the subtleties of spoken English. These sessions focus on the unique challenges of English pronunciation, including tricky vowel and consonant sounds, word stress, intonation patterns, and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Through targeted practice, participants will refine their accent, improve clarity, and gain the confidence to express themselves naturally in any context.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to identify and produce key English sounds, recognizing and accurately producing challenging English sounds, including minimal pairs like /ɪ/ vs. /iː/ and /ʃ/ vs. /tʃ/. They will master the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), using IPA symbols to decode pronunciation patterns and improve phonetic accuracy. Participants will apply stress and intonation rules, using word and sentence stress effectively to improve natural speech and clarity. They will develop connected speech skills, understanding and using linking, reduction, and assimilation for more fluid, native-like speech. They will also overcome common pronunciation challenges, addressing issues like the 'th' sounds (/θ/ and /ð/), vowel shifts, and final consonant clusters. Finally, they will gain confidence in spoken English, speaking more clearly and confidently in both professional and social settings, and develop the ability to self-correct and monitor pronunciation over time.
