English
Several years ago, I realized that, when teaching English as a Second Language, no school or teacher anywhere in the world actually teaches their English learners how English is spoken. In the absence of knowing how English is spoken, all speakers of English as a Second Language speak using the speech patterns, word and syllable stresses and at the speed of their native language ... after all, that is all they know. In fact, no other language is spoken the way English is spoken. Consequently, I commenced an extensive, worldwide research project which resulted in the development of a course to teach speakers of English as a Second Language exactly how English is spoken. This course has been extensively tested over two years and proved to do exactly what we intended ... hence the name! My course explains the 'why' and 'how' so that students understand what the differences are and why they have difficulty understanding native English speakers and, conversely, why native English speakers often have difficulty understanding the speaker of English as a Second Language. This is always the case with those people who have learned English as a Second Language in their home country. Students will receive a series of lessons including specially-designed guided exercises, along their learning path, which will lead them to sound like a native speaker. They will also learn the most effective practice methods which can be used in their own time. All students will receive many supplementary resources and practice materials which are specially designed and graded. Many languages do not contain sounds that exist in English (such as the th~ and the ~r~ sounds), or their sounds are different from the same phonics in English. A part of my course involves identifying those sounds and guiding the student through fast and effective remedial action. Your confidence will quickly improve and, if you also want to master conversation skills, you can have those modules added to the Speak English course. I will also show you how to build your vocabulary in a way that is convenient and sustainable. You can decide if you want to do one or two-hour classes. If you wish, you can even mix them up.
