This second-level workshop is primarily (but not only) designed for those who have previously taken an English pronunciation workshop with Geoff Lindsey.

The basic sound system of contemporary English (vowels, consonants, stress) will be reviewed, focussing primarily on contemporary British pronunciation but with reference to General American. Going beyond this, we will work on fluency in connected speech: phrasing, linking, rhythm, accenting and intonation.

Participants will have the opportunity to get feedback on their English pronunciation in the group setting. Each participant is asked to bring some material to work on during the weekend, in the form of one or two short texts for reading aloud (1 page maximum), and/or recorded speech which can be interpreted live, via earphones. (If bringing written texts, please provide a copy for the tutor.)

As in the first-level workshops, participants will receive individual notes for continuing practice after the weekend.
