English Pronunciation Program
Our English Pronunciation Program is taught by volunteer speech language pathologists: Gail Totten, Kate Anderson, and Viki Schmidt. The purpose of each class is to help learners speak English more clearly and naturally so they can communicate effectively with native English speakers.
We do this by teaching about the sounds and patterns of American English. We start with a whole group lesson and then divide into breakout rooms for small-group practice.
There are 2 requirements for joining this program:
1) Learners must first attend at least 5 English sessions of our English Conversation Program.
2) Learners must also be intermediate to advanced English speakers. Learners with this level of English will benefit the most from our program.
All classes are held on Zoom. We send out the Zoom link on the day of class.
How Can You Attend?
After you attend 5 conversation sessions, we will provide you with instructions for applying for our Pronunciation Program. It’s that easy!
