課程簡述 Pronunciation is the very first step to mastering a language. This course has a straightforward aim:
to help students develop skills to improve their pronunciation. To achieve this goal, we will
start with the fundamental and essential steps, the main sounds of English, to lay a solid foundation
for correct pronunciation in English. Then we will expand the practice to connecting words with
other parts of a speech: word stress, sentence stress, intonations, pausing and chunking,
and the rhythming of a talk.

General strategies:
Sounds are the first part of pronunciation skills, but pronunciation is not just sounds:
it’s about using your body to produce sounds, and it’s also about connecting sounds
in ways that your speech/talk generates understandable, meaningful, and expressive
impacts. As such, we will adopt diversified approaches to help students, including:
 Connecting with your body
 Finding your weak areas
 Using minimal pairs
 Basic recording strategy
 (most importantly) Using APPs, the latest learning technology
