This course is designed for advanced-level speakers of English who have successfully completed Pronunciation Improvement for Effective Communication or equivalent and wish to continue correcting their pronunciation, intonation, rhythm, pausing, and stress patterns. The instructor works with you to help you learn to clarify your pronunciation of specific sounds and gives you the tools you need to monitor yourself to continue improving after the course is completed. Through 30 hours of intensive classroom practice, you will fine-tune and improve your accent to improve your communication in business and academic situations.
