Extensive activities are available to improve your knowledge of American English and your ability to teach it effectively. Language-specific resources, along with analysis of speakers from 18 different language backgrounds, will help you prep for any new student who comes your way. You’ll get more than just a guided assignment or two; you’ll have access to hours upon hours of hands-on skills training activities to improve your knowledge and skill.
With 900+ lessons, you can be sure that we have every pronunciation lesson you need. Language skills are also addressed as we find this is an important component for almost any student. Our detailed lessons will teach you things you didn’t know about English, even if you’re a native speaker! A public speaking course is available as an add-on for you and your students.
Understand and recognize the intricacies of placement and movement for each sound, stress patterns, intonation, linking, reductions and more. We have 12+ hours of video just devoted to teaching these concepts one by one (outside of the 14-hour recorded workshop).
There is a ton of content available to you; so much that it will take you far beyond what’s necessary for your initial certification, giving you ample opportunity to grow and develop over time. We are committed to providing the best training to our trainers so they can do a great job serving their own students.
You’ll get access to sequences that guide you through individual sessions as well as through training courses. These sequences have structure, but also allow flexibility to meet different students’ needs. Plan the right number of hours for each student with our guided approach. Accurately identify every student need using our in-depth evaluation and analysis guide.
