Speaking Skills for English Language Tests

1. Course Synopsis 

This course aims to prepare students for international English speaking tests. Technical aspects of pronunciation, intonation and stress are studied to help students speak fluently and appropriately in a range of formal and everyday contexts. Students will learn how to sound more “natural” in English by familiarizing themselves with the expectations and standards of selected international speaking tests. Greater language awareness of their spoken output will also be developed in the process of analyzing and remedying one’s pronunciation features.

CILO1	Demonstrate knowledge of English pronunciation by avoiding common errors of second language learners.
