ESLP 50

Intermediate-Mid Pronunciation

ESLP 50 is an English pronunciation course at the intermediate-mid level for English language learners. This course is designed to help intermediate English language learners move toward more comprehensible speech. Students will have intensive work on recognizing and producing speech sounds including analysis of the contrasts between the phonemic inventory of the student's home language and the phonemic inventory of "standard" American English. Patterns of English stress, rhythm, and intonation are reviewed and practiced. Emphasis is on neuromuscular development and use of the organs of speech. This course is part of the ESL pronunciation sequence, which is designed to prepare English language learners to take college courses leading to a certificate, degree, and/or transfer.
