Pronunciation In English

Learn to use the important elements of stress, intonation, and rhythm like a native speaker.

Focus

In the past, much time has been spent in pronunciation courses on individual sounds. The disadvantage of this approach is that it is very difficult and time consuming for adult learners to make changes in this area. AmEnglish Pronunciation program's emphasis is on the big picture items: stress, intonation, and rhythm. Research indicates that improvement in these areas makes the biggest difference in intelligible speech.
