授業の内容（Course Description） |
|
A two course sequence designed to teach students how to speak English correctly and clearly. Topics include the pronunciation of all the sounds of English, voiced and unvoiced sounds, rhythm, stress, and intonation, among others. Lessons include a variety of activities intended to encourage students to actively practice pronouncing English in class. Since the course sequence is intended to meet individual student needs, significant class participation is required. In the second term of this course the students will continue to participate in activities designed to improve their listening comprehension and clarity of speech by concentrating on the rhythm, stress and intonation of North American English pronunciation. Students will practice individually and in pairs during listening exercises and quizzes. (Second of a two course sequence)
