Description

This is a short course covering 16 rules for English Pronunciation, specifically for understanding Word Stress.


The intention of this course is to add to your lifelong learning goals, professional development, and teaching repertoire. This is not a long-winded course, it's quite succinct and compact.  

All ESL teachers can use this course to have many lessons in their arsenal specifically geared toward improving their students' pronunciation of the English language. 

You will need an active mind and a way to take notes. 

This course is structured with videos that teach the rules of Word Stress, followed by quizzes to test yourself on what you've learned. 

This course is an excellent opportunity for professional development and learn some repeatable patterns that you can pass along to your students. 

Advocates:

"Wonderful job with the ESL Teaching Skills for Pronunciation.  Very relevant for ESL teachers. This is a must take course for me." Rebecca

Who this course is for:

  • ESL teachers who care about professional development should take this course
  • ESL teachers who care about teaching natural pronunciation should take this course
  • People who are NOT ESL teachers should not take this course
