Course Description

This course is a combination of group and individual work on pronunciation. We will work on the basic sound structure of the English language and techniques for practice and self-monitoring. You will do some work independently, some with a partner, and some with a small group. We will use resources in the Learning Center, on the Internet, and in the community to help you help yourself. Videotaping, audiotaping, songs, speeches, and interviews will be part of the activities.

Evaluation

Grades of S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) will be based on quality of class work, completion of assignments, and diligence in working toward goals. S grades will be given to those with averages above 70%.
