Communicating in English confidently is the goal of anyone who wants to learn English. Whether it’s a social conversation, a class discussion or business presentation, speaking English coherently and listening attentively is key. For clear and effective communication to take place, speakers need to have proficient English pronunciation skills. For this reason, ICU English has developed the ICU English Master Pronunciation course.

Our Master Pronunciation allows students to advance their listening and speaking skills by hearing how words sound and seeing how sounds are formed. With video models showing how to make each sound, animated graphics, and native language instruction, students learn where to place the tongue, teeth, and lips to pronounce each sound. Learners can record their voices for comparison to native speakers, using the Smart Pronunciation tool. Additional features draw direct comparisons among similar sounds.

Tutorials in Master Pronunciation focus on a variety of suprasegmental skills such as rhythm, stress, and intonation. Each of these tutorials includes extensive practice opportunities to ensure students master these key aspects of English pronunciation. 

Hundreds of minimal pair items allow students to improve their aural discrimination skills, and sound-specific tongue twisters provide more pronunciation practice. These may be randomly presented or selected by language background. This flexibility enables learners to focus on sounds that are problematic for them.
