This is a two-day course for 2L English teachers that focuses on key sounds that Chinese speakers often find difficult or haven't learnt correctly. We will practice key vowel sounds and blending skills, and in some cases, alternative pronunciations.
This is a purely practical course designed to correct fundamental speech patterns and teach them to 2L learners, thereby improving their auditory skills.
Minimum: 4 Maximum: 8
Delivered on site and in person.
