This short course is specially designed for advanced English speakers who wish to improve their professional image by modifying their accent to sound more like a native British English speaker. We help you to achieve Standard English pronunciation of words (based on learning and practising the ‘correct’ vowel and consonant sounds), together with Standard English rhythm, stress, intonation, and tone. These are what is generally meant by “accent”.
Learners will typically be employed or possess an interest in journalism, public relations, marketing, media and communications, but motivated applicants in other fields will be considered.
The determined student should finish with an understanding of his/her pronunciation ‘issues’ and of how to modify his/her accent over time, after the course has finished.
For clarity, British English Elocution is not a public speaking course for speechmakers.
This EdD programme helps you expand your knowledge and understanding of how education works, allows you to transform your own practice, and makes an original contribution to knowledge.
