Practical lab sessions on the sounds of English, word and sentence stress, intonation and connected speech, with recorded fluency practice so learners can track their own progress.
To make learners easier to understand and more fluent when speaking English.

Continuous assessment: weekly class tasks and a learning portfolio, a midterm progress check during the teaching weeks and an end-of-module assessment in the final exam week (a written task and, where relevant, a speaking assessment). Results are reported as Pass, Merit or Distinction, with the CEFR level reached in each skill.
