ELA-Edinburgh’s pronunciation course is designed for students who want to improve their accent. This will help you to present yourself better in professional and academic settings. The lessons are personalised, so we can focus on your individual needs.

The main aims of our course are to improve your pronunciation of individual sounds and develop your connected speech to help you sound more like a fluent native speaker. This will have the added benefit of helping you to understand rapid speech more easily. We will do this by referring to the phonemic chart and a variety of specially designed materials, and also give you advice on how you can practise your pronunciation outside the classroom. Most importantly, you will be taught by an experienced and qualified tutor who is a pronunciation specialist.

Lessons will include these topics:

• The pronunciation of individual sounds
• Word stress, sentence stress and rhythm
• Connected speech
• Intonation

The precise content of the course will depend on your individual needs. You will be given plenty of opportunities to practise in real-life contexts such as conversations and presentations.

All courses are taught by qualified teachers.
