The IELTS Pronunciation & Fluency Clinic
EPSR understands that there is a strong market for the IELTS courses and test and increasingly big demand for more aid tools that could help the students to achieve a greater score in IELTS test.
As a result of placing the rating of pronunciation on a full 9 scale in line with the other 3 analytical criteria (Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy), improving the students’ pronunciation has become decisive for their future.
In some cases, 0.5 or 1 point can either decide the beginning or end of a student’s journey in Australia.
In order to assist the students in achieving the best score possible, English Pronunciation for Specific Registers (EPSR), has designed a special program entitled “The IELTS Pronunciation & Fluency Clinic” to target the pronunciation difficulties handicapping the students’ speech and impacting their confidence during the IELTS speaking test.
The program only runs on Fridays between 16:00 and 19:30pm. The number of students allowed in the classroom is no more than 8.
