Course objectives
This course explores those areas of English pronunciation that Czech students of English find difficult. Our aim is native-like pronunciation. Authentic materials, mimicking and drill help Ss to reach this higher level of pronunciation. This course also focuses on ability to transcribe heard and seen text, and on their ability to transfer our classroom materials to the primary school environment. Self-study is a crucial part of this course.
