This course is designed to help ESL learners improve their professional presentations, interactions, and communication skills in American English. We will begin by understanding your specific needs and concerns, so the course content can be tailored to best support your goals.
You will master the stress and pitch patterns used in words, sentences, and paragraphs to make your speech clearer and more engaging. In addition to pronunciation, you will practice body language and facial expressions that naturally support American intonation and add meaning to your communication. Through guided practice and feedback, you will learn how to combine vocal patterns with non-verbal cues to enhance your message and connect better with your audience. By the end of this course, you will understand the key rules of producing clear and understandable communication, helping you speak confidently and effectively in professional settings.
