Students will typically be employed or possess an interest in journalism, public relations, marketing, media and communications, but motivated applicants in all fields will be considered. The determined student should finish with a more British accent and an understanding of his/her pronunciation ‘issues’ and of how to modify his/her accent over time, after the course has finished. This course will cover: • The components of accent: rhythm, pitch (intonation and tone), flow, stress, dialect. • Pronunciation: the 44 phonemes of British English, common issues for Chinese learners of English, finding correct pronunciations. • Detailed examination of vowel and consonant sounds and letter combinations. • Flow (smoothing) and the preponderance of unstressed vowels in Standard English. • Standard English intonation. • Emphasis and modulation. • An awareness of regional accents. • Issues for non-Chinese (e.g. French and Indian) students, when applicable. • Pronunciation clinics. • British vs American English. • Image and professionalism. For clarity, British English Elocution is not a public speaking course for speechmakers. Applicants should be graduates and willing to take part in discussions and practical reading aloud and speaking exercises, ideally with little inhibition. They should be reasonably confident and fluent English speakers. Applicants should note that it takes self-awareness and persistence to permanently modify one’s speaking accent.
