    Description
    The course helps beginning English language learners improve their pronunciation of American English. Emphasis is on vowels and consonants in words and short sentences. Students will be able to pronounce vowels and consonants more accurately through an understanding of how each sound is made, comparison of English vs. native language, listening discrimination practice, listen-and-repeat exercises, and individual feedback from the teacher. This is a noncredit, open-entry/open-exit course.
