For Clerkenwell and Moorgate Students

Pronunciation for Presentations Course

Tutor: Simon Cuddihy

This three-week course is designed for international students and for students whose first language is not English, though all students are welcome to join.

The course is offered  in person and takes place on the Clerkenwell campus. It is free and not assessed.

Course aim and content

The course provides a practical overview of key pronunciation features to help you speak more clearly and fluently during seminars and when giving presentations. Each week, you will practise reading words and sentences aloud to develop specific aspects of English pronunciation.

Please note: this course is intended for students who feel a lack of fluency or clarity when speaking. It does not aim to teach a native-speaker English accent.

The course will include:

  • word stress
  • sentence stress
  • linking sounds
  • contractions
  • vowel and consonant sounds
  • dividing sentences into units
