Course participants will be provided with a large array of pronunciation practice activities. The course covers different areas such as the description of speech, teaching pronunciation, vowels, consonants, word and sentence stress, intonation, other aspects of connected speech, pronunciation and spelling. The students will be required to teach pronunciation to their peers in class and to successfully pass the end-of-course test.
