Pronunciation can be difficult, even for native American English speakers. This course is a continuation of Focus on Pronunciation: Level 1; participants are encouraged-but not required-to complete Level 1 prior to Level 2. This course will help you expand your pronunciation and verbal communication skills, regardless of your first language. You'll practice speaking clearly and accurately in everyday situations, explore the rhythm of the English Language and develop a plan to improve your personal pronunciation. By the end of the class, participants will be able to:

  • Listen for differences when pronouncing words.
  • Explore how rhythm and intonation (pattern of high and low notes) add meaning to speech.
  • Identify correct emphasis (stress) for common words.
  • Develop a plan to improve your personal pronunciation.
