Programs

The Pronunciation Clinic Plus programs are developed using cutting edge, research-based methods. The methodologies used have proven effective over years of application and transformation with our students. 

Training is targeted primarily at non-English background speakers who wish to achieve a high level of proficiency in their English pronunciation and communication in order to communicate clearly and confidently in spoken English.

All training is by private tuition as no two speakers have the same needs, the same learning style, or learn skills at the same pace.

Each program incorporates a diagnostic assessment, a standard focus on pronunciation, a follow-up guide and progress reports where required.

Each individual’s training program consists of an intensive course of one-hour sessions, which systematically address the specific pronunciation issues identified in the diagnostic assessment.

Diagnostic assessment

At the first session, a comprehensive assessment of your speech is conducted. This includes testing for fluency, problem sounds, stress, intonation, rhythm, and connected speech. In addition, clients involved in public speaking are assessed on their delivery, including pacing, pausing and body language. Where required assessment of students’ grammatical accuracy can be included. Comprehensive verbal feedback is then provided at the end of the diagnostic session and a written report is sent to the client (and the client’s corporate sponsor, where required). Students are welcome to attend a diagnostic assessment session before deciding to commit to a complete program.
