Why EfL?
At EfL we have tutors who are qualified and experienced in teaching pronunciation.
- Each course is designed specifically to meet the learner’s needs.
- Individual lessons are conducted via distance tutoring using Zoom, for maximum convenience and flexibility.
What do we teach?
Pronunciation includes:
- Clear pronunciation of individual sounds
- Putting the stress on the right syllables in words, and the right words in sentences
- Grouping words into meaningful phrases
- Speaking at a pace that the listener can follow.
Pronunciation is taught in the context of your work, study, or everyday life. It can be combined with any other course:
English for Business, English for Employment, Test Preparation, or General English.
Why work on pronunciation?
When we listen to other people speaking, even in our own language, we do not always hear every word they say – instead, we do some guessing. The problem is, the more we have to guess, the less we are listening to what the speaker is saying.
At EfL, our goal is to teach you to speak clearly so that you get your message across first time. As a result:
- Misunderstandings and frustration are greatly reduced
- Communication on the phone and face-to-face is greatly improved
- Presentations have greater impact
- You are ready for career development.
Needs assessment
The first step is for us to set up a Zoom meeting to determine your pronunciation issues, and how they are affecting your work, study, and everyday life. We then design a course to suit you.
Length of the course
Normally 4 - 12 lessons, each 45 minutes in length.
